Hello there!I know this might sound petty, but Unfortunately, my Year In Sport is discrediting me nearly 100K’ of vert, and over 50 activities and I'm really understanding how and where this has happened. Its not just a little, its a lot. Does YIS constantly update? Anyway to reconcile this?Any help would be appreciated!Thank you!Mike  

May I suggest you add one (or two) extra categories for ‘type of ride’ (for cycling)? Currently the choices are: workout / race / commute. However, I frequently have days where I am using my bike to shop, run errands, and get around town etc… , which are quite different to rides where I commute. Perhaps ‘utility ride’ might suffice to cover those types of activity? Thanks

I would love to see Flybys also integrated in the STRAVA app. I guess the app is the most used interface to the STRAVA data. Everyone has their mobile phone always available. Wouldn't it be great if I could check my flybys quickly and without a computer while I'm on the road?

Hi everyone,Padel is growing in popularity worldwide, and here in Spain, it’s already one of the most played sports.Currently, on my Suunto 9 Peak, I can select "Padel" when starting a match. However, when syncing with Strava, the activity is categorized as a generic "Workout"I’d like to suggest adding a dedicated "Padel" category in Strava. Alternatively, a broader option like "Other Racket Sports" could work too, encompassing sports like Padel, Squash, and Pickleball. Thanks for considering this!  

A year ago, it was brought up that it would be great to integrate Orange Theory with Strava.  Can we reintroduce the idea?  There are over 1200 OT gyms in the US.  Many of us would really like to be tracking all of our exercise in one place instead of piecemeal.

Je clique sur mon année du sport de 2024 et ça me dit "lien non valide"Translation:click on my sports year 2024 and it says "invalid link"

Dear Strava,                     I have made my account public and never did I go private. I have been a loyal premium subscriber for over 3 years, and today I can’t even make any posts nor share my runs or add links to my Strava account/posts, This has been very disappointing considering that I have never received an email stating that I violated their terms of service in the past few days. I have never said anything hurtful or anything of that sort. I tried deleting the app and restarting my phone, but none of it works. Can you please fix this? Thanks. Sincerely,               Yash Hooda

Instead of the average pace being shown when recording a run, show the current pace. Or at least make it an option.

My university is trying to improve their Bike Friendly University rating. We would like to be able to compete with other participating universities (particularly Big 12 organizations) to entice friendly competition across college campuses.  From what I've gathered, this is not a feature that your platform offers. Creating a challenge that is specific to college campuses could greatly encourage students to bike more and would increase the traffic to your platform, getting young adults more involved in Strava. A challenge like this could track carbon footprint by displaying emissions that users are avoiding by riding or walking around their campus. This could be a collaborative project with big brands such as Hoka, Trek, Brooks, Specialized, etc., or other local companies in proximity to the universities participating in such a challenge.  Universities and their students, staff, and faculty across the country are becoming increasingly interested in sustaina

Hi please how do I request a refund. What if I send and email and nobody responds with in the 14 days. 

October is here! The season of spring has arrived in parts of the Southern Hemisphere and autumn in parts of the Northern Hemisphere.  For those who are new to the Community Hub - Welcome, thank you for stopping by! This space is for all our users to share ideas, discuss features and learn from each other. You can check out this post for a quick guide on getting started. To those of you who have joined over the past 2+ years, thank you for all your contributions to the Hub; it is greatly appreciated.  If you're into watching sports, there's a lot to keep up with this month. October marks the time of the year in which 4 major North American professional sports leagues have scheduled games throughout the month. Wondering which sports leagues? The four are: The Nati

The primary sport on profiles only offer two choices: running and cycling. Please could Swimming be added, and I’m sure, many other options would be suitable too. 

I find it surprising how orienteering is still not an activity available on Strava, with hundreds of thousands of athletes. Even on Strava there is an Orienteering group with more than 9,000 followers.Although there is already another thread with the same request, I am recovering it again to see if this issue gains support again. I'm sure there would be quite a few people recording this activity, and it would be a great detail to have this possibility on Strava.

Would it be possible to add a data for bike's rides ? I thought about a ratio calculate with distance divided by elevation gain. For exemple if we have 2 000 D+ for 100km the ratio is 2 D+ per km ? And if we have a ratio of 3 it is harder than 0,5.  Yours sincerally. 

Not in a month or a year but when i do that much times a segment so that i reach 8884 altitude meters on that segment I would receive a kind of new badge (such als local hero) Everest Hero 

The Strava community is filled with athletes combining running and biking into single, dynamic sessions—whether for duathlon training, brick workouts, or adventure days mixing trails and roads. Adding "Run and Bike" as a sport would better reflect these hybrid activities. Ideally, sporters could determine when they were on the bike, when by foot and when uncertain. This combination mechanism could also extend to other sports, like triathlon? As you would not need anymore to start a new activity between cycling and running.

Hello everyone. I have an idea for the past months and I really want to share my ideas and maybe get in contact with the strava team. I think for every triathlete who did a race or multisport event, it is just not esthetical to see all the different strava activities on the feed from the swim, bike and run until all the transitions. It is a lot of activities that pops up on everyones strava feed and just not well organised. Isn’t it an idea to make the multisport race just as one activity in the strava feed for everyone and make the possibility to click on the activity where you can see all the details and times for each sport that is done on that race. It’s nice for everyone who loves the data and can see everything on 1 place and it’s nice for everyone who doesn’t know anything about multisports and can see the race in 1 activity. Maybe it’s already an idea that is in progress or this is just not an attainable idea? Please let me know what you guys think from it and if anyone foll

I LOVE keeping up to date with my stats-- adding races, etc. Unfortunately, there is only swim, cycling, running, and walking options.  Can we get triathlons added to the mix? I’d love to proudly show off my stats there, since I am primarily a triathlete. 

The Gear>Component section is a great way to track component wear on bikes.  Many of the often used components are available in a drop down and it would be great for the user to specify, or additionally list, alternate units of measure besides miles.  For example, I track brake pad wear in feet of elevation (I don’t shuttle) and suspension service in hours.  These would be more helpful than miles for certain components the user can select.  For maintenance activities such as chain waxing, it would be helpful to have a drop down for this but might be even more helpful to list on the activities page the cumulative miles for the gear, that way a user could search for maintenance performed (for example denoting these with # in the description field) and subtract the miles/feet/hours between events.  Without this, users use third party data platforms to find the dates of service, get the year to date mileage between events, and calculate the difference, which is cumbersome and

Bonjour, J’aimerais savoir s’il était possible d’améliorer l’onglet “Mes itinéraires”. Je souhaiterais pouvoir créer des dossiers où ranger mes différents itinéraires en fonction de différents “projets”, des différentes villes où je trace mes itinéraires, des “thèmes” (sorties longues, courtes, fractionnés…). Bref pouvoir créer des dossiers pour améliorer la lisibilité de mes itinéraires enregistrés

I’d love to be able to analyze my activity data in additional ways, like by which bicycle I was using for instance. I downloaded my data earlier and I wrote a script to do the aggregations on my own. I’ve attached the basic things that I calculated and it’s just interesting data.   

Part of why I still use MapMyRun is because I like how they display my activity (via a bar graph) and I like having each mile announced out loud along with my time. Let us customize how our data is displayed. The point graph doesn't even line up with the months correctly.

When I go to another athletes profile I want to do a couple of things:See their training week by week. This is difficult with one continuous scrolling list and dates that become hard to keep track of. Would be easier if there was a week-by-week view, or if you showed the day rather than date of the activity.  See their race activities. This is the most interesting part. Currently, there are workarounds by viewing their PRs which will find some race results, or by checking out event photos and navigating to the event. It would be great to be able to filter their activities to only show race results. It could be a special section (Races are special occasions) or you could provide the same search functionality that I can use on my own profile (filter to activity type = race) on every profile

Right now in the mobile Strava app you have speed, distance and heart rate. But you can't change what is displayed. So for example if I want to see just heart rate on full screen I can't choose what Strava displays on the information screen. Or distance and heart rate. Or only speed.

I wish Strava did a little bit more analysis relating to pieces of gear - for instance how many hours I’ve used a bike, total elevation gain, number of rides. I was able to download my data and write a script to do these calculations pretty easily, but I’d love for this info to just be readily available.
