I don’t think if this concern fits in here, but I’ll give it a try. 

I hope you guys can help me and I'm sure there are also a lot of other guys with this concern.

I am a paying subscriber in Strava for a long time now since they implemented it during COVID times. Recently, this notification keeps on popping up on my RIDE activities. All of my activities have no fluctuations with speed or GPS error, my pace is not really suspicious at all because I'm not that fast.

As a subscriber, this is VERY INCONVENIENT!

I think the Strava's auto detect system has some kind of bug or mistake in its program for this to happen.

For sure THERE ARE A LOT who experience this also whether from run or ride activities, please share your thoughts and let's hope some guys working with Strava sees this and have a solution for this.

The notif message has this text: The Activity may be in a vehicle, marked the wrong sport type, or had bad GPS. Crop out the vehicle or change sport type to resolve. You can change it to "followers only" to view segment results.”

Hi ​@Berny, bad GPS with resulting very short bursts of high velocitys are often the reason, sometimes wrong altitude data that seemingly leads to high speed during ascents can come in too. To report that you are wrongly accused you have to use https://support.strava.com/hc/requests/new, because this hub is not monitored by Strava for feedback.
