A Segment is exactly that, a segment of a route or journey, it has nothing to do with a rider name or bike type! Strava needs to sort the leaderboard arguments out in their App so that each different bike type doesn’t have to keep reinventing the wheel by re-entering segments that are we have been used to using for years and just because we change bike type for a ride we are punished and lose the segments!
Segments long standing
+27You’re exaggerating, Strava uses the same segments for unmotorized gravel, mountain and other bikes. And it’s using the same segments for ebikes and e-MTBs. So it’s not “each” type, only e versus not-e.
+28As far as I can see, it is sorted out rather nicely. All analog (non e-bikes) are combined together and have one set of segments and leaderboards. All non-analog (e-bikes of all kinds) are combined together and have their own set of segments and leaderboards. That is it. Two sets separated by a clear distinction (motor vs no motor).
