Why does Strava persist in recording a 100 yd interval as a 75yd + 25yd swim in a pool with lengths measuring 25 yards? 

For some reason, calories are hidden from commute activities and replaced with co2 emmissions. Having that is fine, but calories shouldn’t be removed. At least put it into the the expanded stats. They seem to show on the website but not the app.

Looking at my power curve this evening I noticed that my “All of 2024” line exceeded the Custom Date Range line I had set for all of my cycling years (side note, I’d really like an “All Time” option in the dropdown menu so I don’t have to create custom date ranges every time I want to see my all time bests).  This was telling me that in 2024 I actually exceeded my all time best power for certain time durations. At face value this makes no sense, as any efforts in 2024 should have counted towards my all time bests.  I was viewing the chart in Watts.  When I toggled the curve to display in “Watts/KG, the lines converged, and I saw what (I think) was happening: due to weight gain over the years, my maximum w/kg for those specific time durations were set back in 2016, while my raw power over the same time durations was set in 2024.I do not accept that it is correct to only use the best w/kg efforts when building the power curve and then have the toggle button simply convert that single cur

I'd like to download a large area onto my phone with my heatmaps so I can access this from the trail when I have no service.  I can do this on Trailforks but it does not show my "private" routes. Is there a way to download the  Strava map locally to my phone and still have access to trails/routes that I recorded when I open the app and not "in service"?  Again, the trails that I want to access on the map would be private not public.Thanks in advance 

Bonjour Est-ce que l'on peut faire apparaître les cols routiers et muletiers sur strava comme on peut les trouver sur openrunner?Merci Philippe TRANSLATION:HelloCan we make the road and mule passes appear on strava as we can find them on openrunner?ThanksPhilippe

When printing a saved route not all the written directions are shown as the printout is limited to one page. This can only be corrected by reducing the scaling, which results in a tiny map and elevation profile, particularly a problem for long cycle rides. It would be preferable if the directions were formatted to spill over onto multiple pages if required. I’ve tested with Chrome, Safari, Firefox on Mac - all behave in. a similar manner.

Some of the people I follow do a lot a commute rides which are quite frankly boring and just fill up my feed.  I am really only interested in their ride when it is more unusual. If I could set a simple milage filter on those people so that I would only see their rides when they exceeded a certain mileage that would increase my enjoyment of Strava.  I would also like it if I could filter on activity types so that I am not fed stuff like riding their training bike in the  garage or knowing about every time they went swimming.  It is all noise to me. Thank you

I have an E-bike and a regular mountain bike and I would love to be able to compare performance on routes that I regularly ride, particularly down hills.  Why are the the segments different for E bikes and regular bikes?  It makes no sense. I’m not asking for the times to be lumped together in leader boards etc. they should still be accounted for separately.

Hey Strava Team!I just got an email from you about staying motivated by finding and challenging segments, and it got me thinking...How cool would it be to have a feature that shows segments where you're on the verge of breaking into the Top 10 or even snagging the KOM/QOM?Imagine planning your next ride or run knowing exactly which segments you're this close to conquering—it would get people out there hunting for PRs like never before!Feel free to contact me for details :)

Please make it possible to choose between elevation gain and pace in the activity feed. When I have done a solid run or nordic ski I want people to see my pace, not my elevation gain in the activity feed. My way of bragging.Killian Jornet can then feel free to choose to show his elevation gain for his activity/activities.

I’d love to see a function that allows me to set personal notifications for the maintenance of my bike. For instance; based on the KM’s I’ve ridden I’d love to be notified every 300km to check my chain for wear. Or set a notification to check my drivetrain/cassette. Makes it easier not to forget the regular stuff and make my gear last longer.

It would be great if all gear could have its own identity profile in Strava, such that if we borrow or rent gear we can tag an activity to a specific bike wether we own it or not.  Feature would also alow us to buy/sell/transfer gear from one user to another, so when we buy a used bike we have its history.

Best Efforts---- Should have a 3-month reset AND an all-time best Efforts, because as we age, we can't keep competing against a stronger, younger version of ourselves, It will be a better way to stay motivated by hitting some daily medals over a 3-month period. This is more for the people that are older but want to see and chase some more realistic times of our current age and fitness levels. 👍

Hello everyone!So the topic for today is Bikejoring people on bike ride/mtb/gravel rides.What is bikejoring? It’s a device that you plug into your bike and connect to a running dog. Its like e-bike but the helping engine is simply a dog.examples:https://www.strava.com/activities/13515789892#3321036472324054150https://www.strava.com/activities/888186160#21658067064https://www.strava.com/clubs/553814Point is, there is no such activity in strava yet people doing it are stealing KOM’s and places in ladder which is simply not fair. Its not a personal rant for the person i gave examples on but i think we need to talk about it to prevent mixing sports and abnormal amount of flagging. Looking for solution of this situation.

Dear Strava Support Team, I am writing to express my concern and seek for assistance, as the subscription fee was deducted from my GCash account worth P1,500 through Apple services without prior notification. Upon checking on your Terms and Conditions Support page online, it was stated that we are entitled to get a refund as long as the cancellation was done within 48 hours. Luckily, I immediately cancelled the subscription the time I knew I was renewed. I kindly request your immediate assistance in processing my refund. Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated because this matter is quite urgent as I am in need of the funds for an emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hallo Ik heb nog steeds het probleem dat de kaarten knipperen en soms zwart zien  . Dit probleem blijft zich voordoen en is nog steeds niet opgelost . Translation:“Hello I still have the problem that the cards are flashing and sometimes black. This problem keeps happening and is still not solved.”

HelloThe synchronization problem with Suunto has been present for 2 weeks!I have done many tests/reinstallations/others without success.Do you have a solution to solve it?Thanks

Dear Strava Team,My friends and I recently started playing Padel, and as an active Strava user, I was surprised to see that Padel is not listed as an activity type. While other racket sports are available, Padel is missing, despite its growing popularity worldwide.Adding Padel as an official activity type would greatly enhance the experience for many Strava users who play this sport regularly. It would allow us to track our progress more accurately and engage with the community more effectively.I believe this addition would be well received by many users, and I would love to hear your thoughts on this suggestion. Looking forward to your response and hoping for a positive consideration of this request.Thanks in advanced.  

Hey Strava community, I’d like to propose a special tribute challenge on February 22nd to honor the life and legacy of Laken Riley. She was a beloved daughter, friend, and athlete whose memory deserves to be kept alive—and she also reminds us of an important issue: the safety of women runners in our sport. No woman should ever have to feel scared or unsafe running outside. Let’s come together on this day, dedicate our miles to Laken’s memory, and raise awareness for every woman’s right to run without fear. Whether you choose to walk, run, or cover any distance you prefer, your participation will help send a powerful message that we stand united in making our roads, trails, and communities safer for all. If you’d like to participate, please drop a comment and spread the word to your clubs and friends. Let’s honor Laken, celebrate her life, and make a statement that will keep her spirit—and our collective commitment to safety—alive. #RunForLaken #LakenRiley #StravaTribute #WomenSafety #N

Hello, i've written emails to the strava support team and ive created multiple tickets to apply for a refund but many days passed and i still have no response from them.(I always checked my email and my junk email folder and still nothing.I only got an automatic bot response.)

Hi, my daughter lost access to her account in 2022. She couldn’t remember the email address or the password she used so she created another account and has been using that. Over the last week 2 activities have been logged on the original account in a different part of the country. I have commented on one asking how they have access to the account and also sent a message but no response. I have reported it as impersonation today. Anyone experience this before or have any likely explanation? Thanks. 

Three weeks to regain access to my account and Strava charged my single account for two annual subscriptions. Only got the charges reversed through my bank and Strava support was beyond useless in the matter. Terrible. 

Please allow us to add a race category to Nordic skiing just like in biking, running and other sports.  Should be easy to do. 

Hello, I have the problem that over time I have accumulated more and more people that I have subscribed to. That's nice to stay connected, but with so many people the feed gets totally clogged and the activities of friends that interest you get lost. That's why I have muted almost 90% of the people I have subscribed to. But I also don't want to upload my activities to the feed and “demand” kudos from my followers, while I hardly give them out myself. That's why I upload most of my activities as muted so that they don't appear in the feed. As a result, other people always have to go to my profile to see a bike ride.So I wanted to ask if you could introduce an option where your activities are only uploaded for favorites and an option in the feed where you only see activities of your favorites. The option with push notifications when my favorites upload something is not an option for me, because I don't want to get notifications all the time. I look forward to your feedback.Best regards,J

Would it be possible to write a note for a lap. Say you want to note the RPE, lactate or other information of individual intervals?
