Denk dat Strava mijn stilstanden met de fiets er niet meer uithaalt? 

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! 

As Strava has been working to expand the Fatmap engine to web, I want to make this post to point out the things it does decently, mostly misses the mark on, and really needs to do better at. I use Firefox on a Windows machine to inform my experience. I’m using an activity from a friend as examples and the opinions may not apply to other sports since cycling is my main type.Activity Overview: Map window should still be resizable. You cannot scroll to zoom while hovering over a photo (scrolls the whole page). Ideally the photo is exactly where you want to zoom into. Geolocated photos should be toggleable. Playback of flyover should also have a playhead on the elevation graph. Flyover should hide the user photos or at least not obscure the line. Perhaps a pointy teardrop shape and staggered z-axis elevation to lift them from the plane? “Create Route” button should still say “save route” instead, unclear as-is Mousing over the line should reflect the location on the elevation p

Discovered yesterday/today that my mileage for this week is not showing on club stats leaderboards despite showing in club activities feed.  On closer inspection there are a number of others with activities in the club feed this week who don’t show on the leaderboard and at least one athlete who is on the leaderboard but with less milage than what they have completed this week.  This is not related to activity type.  This is not isolated to a single club.  

hi. previously, my strava account link with Zepp account and watch. Now, im trying to link my new coros watch with strava account, following the step provided by coros via link. But not working. how to sync my new coros watch? 

I just entered the 55 plus category, and looking ahead to 65, it's hard to imagine going as hard  as I do now.  Just as I know it's noticeably harder now than it was at 45.  Lord knows I'm working my tail off.  So it seems that after 45 or 50, it would be a bit more fair and beneficial to make it a 5 year age group.  Personally, I don't mind people knowing my age either, so it'd be nice to see a person's age in their profile so I know if I'm competing against a young kid or not.

I rode tonight and got a KOM on The Lost Boys Segment. This should be removed. 

Following this thread, it’s currently nearing 1000 upvotes, but it seems to be in a “not planned” status. Is this potentially going to be added, or does the status mean it’s been discarded?https://communityhub.strava.com/ideas/add%2Dactivity%2Dtype%2Dpadel%2D6570

Dear team stravaGood morning Please help me with the refund process for the annual subscription I accidentally purchased, which the app automatically processed without my confirmation. I haven't used the Strava app since October. I only took a trial subscription, and then an annual bill was issued, which then automatically transferred the payment to my account. I will use the funds for hospital expenses. So, please help me with the refund process. I sincerely request it.Thank you.

Dear Strava Support Team,I am contacting you to request the cancellation of an active Strava subscription on my account. I never knowingly agreed to this subscription and only became aware of the charge after the transaction was processed.I have submitted a refund request through Google Play and am currently awaiting the process, which is expected to take 1–4 business days.Here are some details that may be helpful in tracking my account:Amount charged: Rp 609,390.00Device used: Android I would like the Strava team to assist me by:1. Canceling the active subscription.2. Reviewing this case and supporting the refund so that my funds can be returned. 

I'm not sure why this changed, but it used to be that when I started recording an activity through my Apple watch, the activity types I did most often showed up at the top of the list. However, recently, the order has completely changed, and I have to do a lot of scrolling to find the activity type I do the most.I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but it's certainly annoying.

Strava watch interactions seem to be bugged. Previously, the quick start watch tile would show your 3 recent activities and the option for a list. Now, it just shows run, walk and cycle, and selecting one of these will not start the activity, but will open the list of activities.Activities aren't ordered in any logical way. With ride types not together, indoors activities not together, or alphabetical at the least. Often times selecting something from the quick start tiles will tell you a workout is already active, before crashing and then starting over showing the activity list.Previous posts have been made, but it's been going on for so long that folks think that this is the norm. Seems to be platform agnostic.https://communityhub.strava.com/devices-and-connections-6/a-new-track-doesn-t-start-on-app-samsung-galaxy-watch-5-using-the-quickstart-tile-5528?tid=5528&fid=6https://communityhub.strava.com/strava-features-chat-5/list-of-activity-types-on-apple-watch-reordered-after-recent

Is there a way to keep the ride ‘live’ on Strava, but to exclude it from the Fitness/Freshness algorithm calculations?Last September, on holiday, I climbed a number of mountains on my bike, including Tourmalet.  Part way up that climb, my power meter began to malfunction and, broadly speaking, continuously added about 600-watts to my actual power at any given time.  Whilst that resulted in a rather impressive set of stats at the end of the ride (!), it was obviously incorrect.  It has also meant that every Fitness/Freshness graph I produce on Strava ever since has a huge and misleading ‘peak’ if I let the system calculate it using power.If it had been pretty much any other ride, I would probably have simply deleted that ride from Strava to avoid the distortion, but, for obvious reasons, I wanted to keep that particular’s day’s climbs as part of my ‘official record’.

I created a segment a couple weeks ago, and it has yet to populate with any efforts. https://www.strava.com/segments/39500810

Hi,I’m experiencing the likewise issue as below link and would appreciate guidance. A private road on my property is still routable on Strava, even though it is correctly tagged as access=private in OpenStreetMap. Despite multiple support tickets, the issue has been repeatedly closed without comment, and routing continues to direct users through my property. This has resulted in repeated trespassing. My question to the community (or Strava moderators) is:Is there any way to request a routing geofence or routing block for private property when OSM is already correct, but Strava routing still allows it?Any advice from others who have dealt with similar situations would be appreciated. 

4) Submit for Review So now you’ve got a popular app that’s lookin’ sharp? Congrats! You’re probably ready to get your rate limit raised. Fill out our Developer Program form for review and be sure to include screenshots of all the places Strava data is shown and the “Connect with Strava” button in your application. https://share.hsforms.com/1VXSwPUYqSH6IxK0y51FjHwcnkd8

I don’t subscribe to Strava.It used to be that when I clicked on a mile this would be highlighted on the map. When I moved the cursor along the speed/elevation profile a dot would appear at the appropriate point on the map.None of this happens now. It looks as though my map is just a static picture.Have Strava taken this feature away for non-subscribers?I’m using a PC. I’ve tried using Edge and Chrome.

When editing an activity from the listing (https://www.strava.com/athlete/training), ticking the checkbox “Commute” does not work.Furthermore, this works from the android app, but taking the same activity from the web and saving it again removes the tag

Some of us train for mountain races on treadmills and stair steppers. It turns out there is no way to enter elevation gain as a part of a manual activity, at least not in my Android Strava app. Can this please be fixed? 

This is my fitness in the last 3 months according to Strava as I am training for an upcoming 100 miler. In reality this couldn't be any further from truth. My aerobic fitness went up significantly. I handle heat much better than 3 months ago, and I recover quickly from long training runs.What Strava calls fitness is highly misleading. This should be called something like acute training load as this gives a lot of emphasis on time spent in high intensity. But that isn't fitness as people who end up training too hard (at too high intensity) all the time tend to plateau. This doesn't encourage to train smart and only works to reflect noob gains for people who have just started exercising. Also consider the fact that the biggest gains in "fitness" on this graph are from finishing races. But again that is false. Running a long distance race in fact suppresses fitness for a few weeks as the body needs to recover from a higher than usual stress. 

Hi All,Am I the only one who cannot save the map setting about heatmaps?It stopped working some time ago.When I open the maps, I can turn on the heatmaps layer; it works as usual, but only until I temporarily switch to another application or just turn off and on the screen.I haven't found any workaround yet, unfortunately.

I just got a new phone, and after installing the Strava app, I noticed that any time I try to view an activity (either mine or someone I follow) the app crashes. It also crashed if I try to tap on the Maps or Record features. I can navigate the rest of the app features like Groups, If I go to the “You” feature I can also navigate within the Progress option plus I can scroll down my list of activities but just can’t open any.It has been uploading activities from Zwift and my Wahoo Element IRL rides without issue.I had a Pixel 6a before and now a Pixel 8 Pro. Same Android OS version/build on both phones and settings for the Strava app are all the same too.I have done the usual troubleshooting like clear app storage/cache and also uninstalled/reinstalled the app too.Not sure if it’s a specific feature of the Pixel 8 Pro causing the issues that my 6a did not have but it’s very frustrating.Thanks for any suggestions offered!

I have a few questions about the following rate limits:Overall Rate Limits: 600 requests every 15 minutes, 6,000 dailyRead Rate Limits: 300 requests every 15 minutes, 3,000 dailyDoes the read limit apply when polling the API to check whether an activity upload has finished processing via the uploads/{uploadId} endpoint? Does the read limit apply when checking to see if an activity is still uploaded, again using the uploads/{uploadId} endpoint? We're doing this to ensure that we can deeplink users to activities that still exist in Strava Is it possible to increase this limit?Thank you!

Hi there - I’m posting to request an expedited review for increasing my athlete limit.While I understand your website indicates a 7-10 business day timeframe, the strong momentum my app is experiencing makes a quicker review crucial.We hit our rate limit less (max. 999 athletes connected, 3k read limits/day) less than 24 hours since launching.Sustaining growth and user engagement relies on maintaining this momentum, but the current API limit has effectively halted its progress. My email is me@timwijaya.com  - this is the email used to submit my form again.

Why there is still not padel activity but pickleball yes??There is like 30 milions players all around world and still not activity….
