Hi from colorful Colorado! Here's how Strava has helped me.

Hey everyone, I'm Eric from Colorado. I've been using Strava since 2013 and it has been an integral part of my athletic life. These are the areas where I feel I've benefited the most...1) Motivation. This tool has been a huge motivator in my training. Keeping track of PRs, chasing KOMs, improving on previous attempts. Segments motivate me a whole lot more than doing "intervals".2) Inspiration. I've found great ideas of places to ride, run, and activities to try by seeing what other people are doing. I can go anywhere in the world and find cool places instantly, or find places in my own area that I didn't know about. 3) Creative outlet. In addition to being a training log where I can write and journal about my daily activities, I enjoy posting pictures from those activities. As an artist that doesn't do art for a living, I often don't find much time for art. Strava gives me a platform to find and share something beautiful every day (even though it's "just" a snap from my iphon

Hi from Scotland... With a couple of questions.

Hi community. It'll be interesting to see how this develops in the coming months.It does seem strange that we have to have a new username and avatar. Why can't we just log into the community using our Strava profile?Will we eventually be able to add custom avatars? They usually stand out more, and you get to pick out people by their avatar rather than a name. I see some people already have them. Do we have to earn the ability or something?Custom signatures? Will that be a thing eventually?Thanks, and good luck.

Who's following the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift?

I was excited to see Marianne Vos take the yellow jersey at the end of Stage 2 and I can't wait to see what happens over the next six stages!   Who are you cheering for?  We would love to hear how you are enjoying this epic race.  Be sure to follow on the Tour Hub with the Strava mobile app installed to check results, see pro rider content, and more.

Hey Strava athletes, let's get to know each other! (July)

The Strava Community Hub is a collaborative space where we can all come together as athletes to share what motivates us to strive towards our goals. First, let's take a step to get to know each other better and what brought you here. Here are a few icebreaker options to get you started! What's your name? Where are you from? What's your favorite activity? What about recovery and nutrition? Don't be shy, respond to other athlete introduction posts if you see something that catches your eye - maybe you'll make a new running or riding friend as a result! And lastly, keep in mind that this community is here to support you whether it be understanding Strava's features and functionality or looking for motivation to train for your next big goal. Whatever it may be, this is the place to ask questions, find answers, and build new connections!

Share your athlete journey! What keeps you striving and active?

Welcome to the Strava Community Hub! If you haven't already, feel free to introduce yourself and get to know some of your fellow athletes here. With over 100 million athletes on Strava (and counting!), it's always so exciting to welcome people in all stages of their relationship with personal fitness. As we continue to get to know each other in Strava Community Hub, we would love to hear how you define your athlete journey and what being active means to you! Thinking back on your experiences - regardless of what your activity of choice may be - what are some of the things that influenced you in becoming the athlete you are today? What are some of the best parts of your journey that keep you striving for more?

Question about Feature Suggestions

Maybe this is in some article somewhere, but I can't find it...Kudos/Upvote? So, I see a lot of interesting ideas in the Feature Suggestion (under Help & Ideas), and I assume that giving a kudo is upvoting an idea.... What is somewhat perplexing though is that some cannot get a kudo and some can.  I thought (at first) that it had to have a status of "Gathering Kudos" in order to allow a kudo, but there are some with this status that also will not allow me to kudo (while others in this status can be given a kudo). Q:  What is the 'flow' to be able to kudo, and is this how we vote on features suggested by fellow Strava Athletes?  Thanks!TL;DR The message I got for one that is in 'Gathering Kudos' said "This idea cannot receive kudos", and the one that was 'New Idea' said "You cannot give kudos to a completed message"
