About choosing a fitness ebike

Is there anyone who likes riding ebikes like me, and has used ebikes for mountain biking to exercise and lose fat? I would like to ask which ebike brands and models are better for mountain biking?

Murph Challenge 2024

Anyone training for Murph this year on Memorial Day?The workout: 1 mile run100 pull-ups200 push-ups300 squats1 mile runwearing a 20lb weight vest!You don't have to do the reps straight through. One of the most common variations is 20 sets x (5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats). I am training without the weight vest and fewer reps to build up strength. The training feels good. The full workout is tough. Hard to keep going, but you feel amazing after you finish.

Community hub session keeps expiring

Since last couple of weeks, the community hub keeps logging me out quite often / after short time of inactivity, saying that the session has expired. Before, the page would keep me logged in. Has anything changed in the website configuration? (I keep using the same browser - Chrome on iOS - there probably were some app updates in the meantime as well).

Adelaide airport

Hey everyone, my name is Matt. I have been riding daily for just over six months now. Looking for riders who are keen for an after-work late evening ride. Some of my friends who I used to Hassel to come for rides with me, are now only holding me back, and I'm constantly having to stop or backtrack to them. I'm looking for people who ride around 25-35kmh, and distance of around 20-30kms. If anyone is looking for the same let me know. Thanks

Fitness graph

Hi all,New to the community hub but been using Strava since 2019. Mostly for running up to the point I got COVID. I was out for almost 2 years with the after effects and I now mostly ride my Peloton bike which has quite literally saved my life. I will return to running when I’ve built my fitness and lost some weight. My fitness graph recently went through the roof as it was registering the same activity from up to 3 different inputs (Peloton bike, TacX, Garmin watch and Garmin HRM)!! This was sometimes logging 6 or more separate sessions which caused my graph to shoot up at a staggering rate. I’ve now managed to work out how to get the right inputs so my graph has settled down, but it drops by a point or two every day even though I usually do 60 mins of intense activity on the bike daily. I thought it would stabilise but it’s shows no sign of going back up. Is this a bug or something? What do I need to do to get it trending up again?

(RESOLVED) Activities selectively not being pushed to feed

I ran a race yesterday and it's acting as if it's been muted, when I definitely hasn't. On the other hand my warmup is showing just fine. I've received significantly more kudos on my warmup than the race. Thought it was a one off but the same thing happened to my dad today. TT not showing, warmup showing. It's visible if you go onto profile, but doesn't send to others' feeds. I've seen a few people already on reddit with the same problem, saying it might be a new algorithm which isn't working as it should.

New on the comunity hub

Hi!I got suggested to present myself so here we are!I'm a 22M and I've been using Strava since 2017 and premium subscriber since 2020. I did many sports in my life ranging from the most normal sports to the most extremes likes kitesurfing. But I started trail running in 2017 and it completely changed me! I learned comittment, mental toughness and patience. I explored everything related to running since, from the tracks to road. I even got into road cycling and mountain biking. I love strava and how it interprets data, the Strava metro project really got me even more interested because where I live, no one really cares about cyclists so I hope Metro would help our civil engineers to rethink the city around bicycles (quite a dead-end type of hope, but we chill). STrava metro really made me interested in the actual developments of Strava aswell as what they have planned for the future.So here we are !

My activities only showing under "you" not on the homepage

All my correctly synced activities are only showing up under the YOU tab not on the homepage feed. Others can see my activities correctly as I am getting kudos. However the only way I can see them is via the YOU tab? This is only a recent issue,  it used to work perfectly and I have not changed any settings.

The French Open 2024

Hey Tennis Lovers! The second of the four annual Grand Slam tournaments, the Roland Garros Tournament, started on Monday, May 20! Also known as the French Open, this tournament will be held over 2 weeks at the Stade Roland Garros stadium. Played on clay courts this is the only major tournament not played on grass and is widely regarded as the most strenuous tournament in tennis.  There are a number of players to keep your eyes on this year. Iga Swiatek is going for a record tying 3 French Open titles in a row. If she wins, she will join Monica Seles and Justine Henin as the third women to accomplish this feat. She will face some tough competition from Aryna Sabalenka who is ranked #2 and is coming off a loss to Swiatek at the Italian Open last week. Rounding out the top ranked women, Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina are bringing confidence to the court and are sure to be worthy opponents On the men’s side, defending champion Novak Djokovic is going for his fourth French Open tit

Cannot share public route

I am a newbie with Strava and recorded a route that my friends have asked me about. Then I marked it as public and saved it.Now I can see it as a "My Route" but not when searching for routes in my Android phone.What am I missing? Any advice is appreciated.Also, when searching for routes on my Android device, I can only select one of "Mountain Bike Ride", "Gravel Ride" or "Ride". Is it possible to search for all three kinds in one search, like "OR-ing" the conditions together?

Live coaching Capabilities?

Is it possible to have live coaching in strava, maybe as we're going through different segments or when our heart rate is at a certain point? Would love to have this for interval training.Not as big of a fan of nike run club anymore so hoping this is something in the pipelines, curious what others think!

Love sharing your Strava data? Or are you doing something fun with Strava data? We want to see it!

Hello all!  Have you ever done something cool with Strava data that you would like to share with the rest of the world? For example, using some interesting integrations or different ways to visualize your training data. Or maybe showing off those amazing achievements in some interesting ways?  We would love to understand when athletes are interested in sharing their data off Strava app. We would also love to see any examples of fun stuff you are doing with your data and how you represent your activities outside of Strava. Let us know if you have any ideas and suggestions that come across when thinking about this. We would love to hear any suggestions you might have!  Thanks!

I am not sure how many more emails or tweets I can send until I get one response from you guys? What is the point of paying for a service I cannot use?I tried logging into my strava account but it seems I was locked out and I'm not receiving the reset password email.I tried logging in again some time after the above mentioned attempt and for some reason it's created a fresh new account for some reason with the same email address.I needed to create a new dummy account just to post on this forum.Help, I'm a premium customer.Please contact me so I can provide my login email address.

Weekly total always 0.02 higher than when I add up each activity

Hi, I was wondering if someone would be able to advise.  According to my weekly summary I have so far ran 22.56km, but when I add up each activity i have done this week it comes to 22.54km. With this in mind I decided to check the last few weeks and they are the same, the total distance ran is 0.02 higher than the total I get when adding them up. Any idea why there is the discrepancy? Cheers
