after a training the Strava app allows different things to be hidden to the public. Like heart rate.
Is there a specific reason why it is not possible to hide cadence? In some cases I would like to be able to hide it.
My request would be to also make it an additional field that can be hidden.

I'm a volunteer here so I don't know for sure, but here's my guess: They're obligated to offer to hide your heart rate because that's considered medical info, and subject to privacy rights. Cadence info is one of a few items that can be used as proof that a cyclist actually earned a KOM, so we all want to see that to detect cheating.

that kinda makes sense! Thanks for the good answer! In my current case I lost my cadence sensor and found it again on the way back 😂😂 It had been overrun by cars several times but still worked. Naturally, my cadence for this ride is complete bonkers.
