Locked out my Strava can’t remeber password and email address is no longer in use oh and trying to get someone at Strava to assist is impossible!!

Hello - I'm Melissa. I'm from Michigan and I generally ride bikes of all sorts. I recently started volunteering for a Michigan bike oriented group. Looking forward to reading posts on this forum.

In looking to see if Strava was worth it, I couldn't dind a clear list of free ca paid features, but found an article about privacy and that I have to opt out of everything. Every. single. option. to allow or deny a privacy permission defaulted to sharing data except the health data option. I'm giving Strava a try to possibly replace Google's Fitbit before they completely butcher it. This privacy thing is a huge turn off. Is it worth staying if I stay on the free license? I'm just interested in biking, and maybe discovering new routes locally.

Happy Tuesday! We’re back with another edition of Cats of Strava!  Before we meet the Cats of Strava, did you know that we have a number of clubs dedicated to cats on Strava? If you like cats, have a cat or just like looking at cats, you may want to join these clubs and connect with other like minded folks. Here are a few to check out:  Strava Cat Lovers Cat Lovers Running Team - Cats Pro

Hello and welcome to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! Have you ever wondered if you can use Strava’s power analysis features  to help increase your performance on your Peloton bike?  The answer is yes!   Here’s how to get started: All Peloton bikes measure power output (referred to as simply “output” on Peloton), and output is a key metric in the Peloton ecosystem.   FTP stands for Functional Threshold Power, w

We've seen it all, from frothy beers to dinosaurs to marriage proposals - Strava activities showcase our athletes' creative flex! Have you ever created one of your own or contemplated making one someday? We want you to share what you would like to create (or have created). What challenges do you think you might encounter, and how do you plan on actually carrying the activity out? Did I hear someone say they want to draw a shark by kayaking around their local lake? If you’re looking for a little inspiration for your activity creation, check out our feature of one of our most prolific artists on Strava. Please keep in mind that by sharing your art with the Strava Community, you are willingly sharing data re

Q:  Hello Will, thanks for joining us for a chat today! Please tell our Community Hub members a little bit about yourself.  A: Hello! I’m Will and I’ve worked on the Community Management team for just under 3 years now. I’m originally from Illinois but have also lived in Southern California and now live and train in Colorado. Before joining Strava I was a college cross country and track coach.  Q: How did you get into running, and what was the key decision factor for you to start running on a professional level?  A: My parents always encouraged me to have an active lifestyle since I was little so I was always spending time outside and pretty well did any sport offered at our small school growing up. Believe it or not the Presidential Fitness test was what really got me interested in runn

Hello Stravarites! Like most of you (i'm sure), i'm a long term Strava user across multiple sports and activities including running, hiking, cycling, E-Mountainbiking, Analogue Mountainbiking etc.I have recently begun tracking a new activity.. ELECTRIC FLIGHT!As a part of my pilot journey, learning to fly in an ELECTRIC recreational aircraft, i have started logging my E-FLIGHTs with Strava. I'm hoping Starva can accommodate me and other electric aviators with an E-FLIGHT activity category soon so we can fine-tune our clubs and growing community of zero-emissions aviators.I'd love you see your comments or Kudos on some of my routes and images from the sky!

Hello hello.  Can somebody tell me what the symbol is for Pilates? I cannot fathom it…  Many thanks 

Hello and welcome to another edition of Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! This is a special time of year for those of us in North America. Winter has drawn to a close and signs of spring are everywhere.  And for hockey fans like me, it’s time for the NHL Playoffs.   For those not familiar, NHL stands for National Hockey League and it isn’t strictly “national” in nature; in fact it encompasses teams from 2 countries - U.S.A. and Canada, and features players from many other countries.  The teams compete with each other during the regular season to determine who qualifies for the playoffs, which usually begin around mid April. Currently held by the Colorado Avalanche, The Stanley Cup is the championship trophy awarded annually

Ever been in that situation where someone gives you a thank you and then you instantly say thank you back? Or is it just me who instantly feels the need to say thank you back as a way to offset my blushes. Either way it's really a nice compliment when you receive a thank you and can turn an average day into a better one.  Behold the 👍! And all those who bestow it.  Last month we celebrated our Highest Kudoed Members for March. This month it's time to say thank you to our Top Members in April who have shown their appreciation to other Community members by giving their post a kudos.  We love to see our members' posts receiving kudos from other community members as well as us. Unfortunately, sometimes a page view d

What strava has done for me. For me, strava has played a big role in my weight loss journey. And it all started a couple of years ago when a colleague pushed me to lose weight. And wanted me on strava. So he could keep an extra close eye on me and give me kudos when i was active. It was heavy, but I felt the little kudos I got and the little pressure to register something. It motivated me further. Unfortunately, I hurt my back, became unmotivated and deleted the account. Gained weight, and life became heavier again. But i never completely gave up. After treatment and physiotherapy. Then it was back to good old strava. Competing against myself. Set better times, get higher on segments. And bang, to this day I am 45 kilos lighter. And it just keeps getting better.

Question: What can sprint at speeds of up to 30 MPH, jump up to six times their height in a single jump and tackle the balance beam with grace and beauty? Nope, I’m not talking about Usain Bolt, Michael Jordan or Simone Biles … I’m describing a creature that can do all the above and more! Answer: The domestic cat Cats are supreme athletes and acrobats due to their muscles, bone structure and brains – their bodies are built for speed, jumping and flexibly.  It’s amazing to think that your healthy house cat that sleeps

Hi all, I wrote a book called  "Reflections of a Runner:  365 Verses from the Heart"Strava helped me write this book because I use Strava like a journal for thoughts. I took my Strava posts that were reflections/poetry and combined them together into this book, then cut down until I had the 365 best verses in 8 chapters and 85 pages. The book is focused on the philosophy of running and explores thoughts on racing, time, courage, mindset, art, purpose, wisdom, and training.   The purpose of this book is to inspire you to create and turn the act of running into an art!If you are interested in philosophy and running, I think you will really enjoy the book. This is not a traditional book that is read from beginning to end. Read one verse or one page of verses, then stop. Put the book away or use the other half of the page as a place for reflection. Write your thoughts. I encourage you to wri

In February of this year, a powerful earthquake hit parts of Turkey & Syria killing more than 49,000 people and leaving millions of others in need of basic life necessities including shelter, food and clean water. Our community members and the folks at Strava wanted to show support to the people affected by this disaster. To raise awareness and help the people of Turkey & Syria, Strava hosted a global challenge. Strava also made a donation to the International Committee of the Red Cross, which provides direct relief to those affected and displaced. We want to thank each one of you that participated in the Earthquake Relief Challenge

Imagine how awesome Strava would be if you could also use it as a dating app hahaha 

Hi Strava members,I have a very strange problem going on and the people at Garmin have told me it is a Strava issue and I have yet to have Strava figure it out.IF you have 6 minutes to spare, can you please watch this screencast video of a 5 week problem and if you truly think you know what is going on, I'd love a solution.  I have tried everything imaginable but Garmin is telling me it is a Strava server malfunction of pushing 99 Strava Live segments to my Garmin Connect every time I such then to my 1040 thus not allowing me to use my device for live segments.click for this screencast video I made..  thanks! https://www.loom.com/share/a6ef342fea7b44429bbd8d231099d424Thanks!Barry
