New rider

Hey everyone. My name is Tracy and I'm new here as a writer. I've been using Strava for a long time to track my walks and hikes. Now I have a bike. Wanting some input on power meters to get a better calorie burn reading from Strava. Don't want to break the bank. Something that will give me a better reading on my power. Thanks in advance

Charged for a year subscription and need refund HELP

Hi, I tried Starve premium to find routes in my new city, but I came down with a stomach ulcer and internal bleeding. While I was in and out of the hospital, I forgot to cancel the subscription and was charged with an entire year subscription without any notice. (This feels extremely predatory). I am a student and cannot afford this on top of medical bills and rent & groceries. I cancelled and need to get a refund -- please help!

Subscription purchase not active

Hello - My ticket number is #3034516.  I have not heard back from support and am looking for some help.  I purchased a subscription (and have had my credit card charged), but it is not showing up on my main strava account.  I think it has something to do with using apple pay and the e-mail on my apple pay is an old strava account.  Any help would be great!

Terrible Customer Support

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.

Locked out of account

I tried to change my email associated with my account, but after entering my password incorrectly a few times, I decided to just hit “forgot password”. After changing the password, I tried to log back in and now my account is temporarily suspended. I’ve waited 24 hours per instructions I’ve read on this forum and contacted support but nobody has replied to me. Is there any way to fix this?

How long does it take for strava support to recover a deleted activity?

Hello:)) A few days ago I accidentally deleted a hike that was very important to me. Because there is no way to recovered deleted activities on strava yourself yet, I contacted the support team (ticket #3031177) but haven’t gotten a response yet. Does anybody know how long the process usually takes? Thank you!!

In App time wrong but online correct

I ran a 5k in 23 mins 12 seconds with my Garmin watch recording. It uploaded to Strava and all seemed fine. Then, the App changed the time to 38 mins 39 seconds but the website version remained at 23 mins 12. Not sure why this has happened. Any ideas on how to fix this for future runs?

E-bike user continually posting as ‘normal ride’ - this is driving me crazy. 🥲

Hello everyone. I hope you can help me. I don’t race my bike outside but I rely on segments for interval training and my own performance monitoring. Basically, I take Strava segments very seriously. I give kudos to those athletes who legitimately take QOMs from me, especially if they are solo female riders like me. However, for more than two years, one particular female e-bike rider continues to use her e-MTB as a ‘normal bike’ on Strava. I have flagged her rides continually and even sent her polite emails explaining, with YouTube links, how to mark her rides as e-bike. She has not done this and she has unflagged all her rides. I have sent emails to Strava support but not received any response or any action. She continues to ride her e-bike and take QOMs from genuine riders like myself. I have a whole folder of her rides and of pictures of her on her e-MTB. Aside from being extremely annoying, I am at the end of my tether. Can I flag this rider/Strava user? How can I get

Motorcycles and Ebikes

I'm catching flack from Motorcyclists when I ask them to (please) not use the E-bike Category to record their rides. When I look at segments and totals for my ride they are blown out by motorcyclists results. How are we supposed to compare like categories when users are in the wrong category. As an Enduro Race Timer by trade, I fully understand the difference between all of the different users, categories and the abilities of each. The general response to my requests has been that Ebikes ARE Motorcycles. I can't even begin to explain all of the reasons Ebikes do not equal a Moto.  All I'm asking is that the Moto riders out there find and use an appropriate app for recording Moto Sports. Sure, STRAVA, add it in PLEASE! EMTB'ers just want an equal playing field.

[Off Topic] Strava Support Issue

Not sure where else to post this since when I make any Strava support requests they all get marked as Solved right away. I've tried clicking NO in the emails that get sent to me but it doesn't seem to work. Hoping maybe someone here can get that team to look at the issue. Thanks!

Strava not uploading all data due to filled up iphone storage

My phone storage was filled up, yes, all 256 GB (mostly music). I uploaded two Strava activities and neither of them uploaded GOS data. I read that I could delete some things in order to have the data uploaded, so I freed up 7 GB of space but my map data is still not showing up. Is the data gone or is it recoverable?

5k a day for 31 days

Hey Strava fam!I hope ya’ll doing great!I have reached my 1-month 5k streak goal. What a journey it has been! Despite not being an early bird by nature, I was determined to push myself and make every single day count in parks of Amsterdam. Working 40 hours a week, I wanted to prove that no matter how busy life gets, it's always possible to carve out time for running. This challenge was about discovering a more determined version of myself, one that doesn't make excuses. Now, 31 days in, I feel incredibly proud and grateful for all the love and support I've received.I've been sharing my journey daily on social media, and it's been heartwarming to see so many people follow along with joy:5k a day for 31 days I would love to share this story with the Strava community, as I believe it could inspire and motivate others.
