I was a free user for a couple years, and decided to upgrade when features were taken away from me, I am sure in an effort to convert users to pay, that makes good business sense. After being Premium for two years, I would like to see my membership fees going to provide more and better services to members. Instead it seems like the free users (like my GF) get more and more limits on the services provided. I understand the push to get people to convert, but as a paying member, I would like to see that my money is going toward improve the service not just further limit free people. It is seriously getting me to consider another service. I am not a "power user" and I cannot tell you what would make it better, sorry. One last thing: Local legend status for only three attempts seems pretty silly. I am not sure of many legends that have only done something three times. Maybe the limit should be something mor "legendary", like 10. Please give th
Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! Let’s start by harkening back to 2009, the year Strava was founded. At the very beginning, we supported one activity type, (cycling), and one device type (Garmin). If you were a cyclist with a Garmin cycling computer, you could use Strava. Oh how things have changed! Over the intervening years we’ve expanded to include a wide variety of activity types, including water sports, winter sports, indoor workouts, and many others. Some of our most recent activity type additions include Football (soccer), golf, sailing and skateboarding. In addition we’ve worked hard to integrate with a large number of devices, Apps, and platforms, so our Athletes have a wide variety of choices when it comes to recording their data and getting it on Strava. Strava Athletes can now record and upload using Garmin, Wahoo, Suunto, Zwift, Apple Watch, Whoop, Polar, Lezyne, Soleus, Peloton, Rouvy, A
Hi folks, I have completed the Lucy Charles/ Red bull challenge and received the emails for each part of the challenge to confirm this. But you are also meant to get an email with a code in to complete the online form to enter the competition aspect (winner gets a free race fee). Any ideas how long this should take or how I can contact Strava to ask? thanka ian
Hey there, Has anyone else noticed that in their profile page, all of your KOM's are gone? But when you go to an activity with a segment that you hold the KOM on, it still shows you as the KOM holder? Activities are not reported or flagged in My Activities list. Is this a bug right now on the Strava backend?
I would like an achievement flag for EQUALLED and existing achievement and a way of seeing the delta time to your overall personal PB.At the weekend I went for a fast 5km run. I achieved 2nd best time for 5km but I can’t see what my all time 5km run time is??Was I just a second or two off or was I minutes away?please please 🙏
Where can I ask if Strava can create a Racewalk category for activities? Race Walking has been an Olympic event since 1904 and while the numbers aren't huge, I think there might be enough of us to warrant a category. New York area has about 700 hard core Race Walkers that race but there are 34,000 that say they use Race Walking for fitness. We often use "run" but then we look like slow runners if we post. And some of us use "walk" for a more casual walk. Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, please direct me.Thank you.
This never used to be an issue but it started off with just the first photo being out of order. Now multiple photos are uploaded out of order and I have to go back and manually sort them. This is when adding media through the app.When selecting media, it literally numbers them which used to indicate the order they should be displayed in. It was also helpful because of another bug in the app where you can't upload more than 30 something photos at a time or it'll crash the app and you have to start all over again.The QC seems frustratingly bad these days as more and more little things that used to work, don't anymore.
Who invented Segments? 🤔 🤔 Long before Strava existed, cyclists were talking about their fastest times up iconic climbs. We all know “if it’s not on Strava, it didn’t happen”, so how did segments originate? They were invented by one of Strava’s co-founders, Davis Kitchel, inspired by a Wednesday night group ride in the late 90s. “There were notable, locally named climbs with well understood start and finish lines during which the ride turned into a race to the top with the prize being stature and bragging rights. Not everybody could make it to each Wednesday ride, which often led to comments with no proof like ‘Oh, I rode that climb last week and was at least 30 seconds faster than we rode today.’” With nothing to back these claims and verify them, Davis, a software engineer, set out to obtain better data and keep track of efforts. Here’s your Tuesday trivia question: How did Davis Kitchel originally document cycling climbing times in the pre-Strava segment era?
When you upload GPS tagged media from the website it appears where it was taken as long as you use the website. Doing the same from the app doesn't work, would be nice if it did!
A cool feature might be to be able to share activities only with clubs or only with certain clubs. Up to now it has only been possible not to release activities, only to release them for followers or for all Strava users. Releasing activities only to certain clubs would have the benefit of being able to share your activities with your friends and coaches, but leaving your competition out of the loop. In this way, Strava would become a great tool for collaboration between athletes, coaches and training groups beyond its previous functions.
Last month I took part in the Virtual New Balance 5th Avenue Mile. Seemed simple. Run a mile [fast] and Strava would count that in the results. As I always do, I ran several time during the challenge window. I made sure to run one mile super fast. Unfortunately, Strava took a seemingly random mile from that period and uploaded that instead.I'm just trying to figure out if this was a bug or if I did something wrong.
The idea of Strava was first conceived of in the mid 1990s, by our co-founders Michael Horvath and Mark Gainey, but it wasn’t until 2009 that they officially founded Strava as a website for cyclists to map their rides. We’ve come a long way since then, and now support many activity types including running, walking, team sports and indoor workouts. It’s always fun to look back on our roots and reminisce about “way back when”. Here’s your Tuesday trivia question: Strava co-founders Michael Horvath and Mark Gainey met: On a cycling trip in Colorado On the Crew Team at Harvard University At the California High School they both attended Strava co-founders Michael Horvath and Mark Gainey Drop your answer as a reply to this post. While you’re at it - share how and where you and one of your favorite activity partners on Strava met, and what activities you enjoy doing together. Check back next week when we share the correct answer, and be sure to subscribe to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava!
Here is a feature I use often. On the use profile there is a histogram of weekly mileage shown below. Clicking on each week also shows the total time and the total elevation gain for that week. Until recently there was an option to switch between the "Weekly" stats and the "Monthly", but the "Monthly" option has been removed. Only the "Weekly" option remains. As far as I know there is no longer a way to get the monthly stats in any other parts of the Strava UI. Can someone from Strava comment on this? What was a reason for removing a useful feature. Speaking of this feature. It would also be great to see an up-to-date summary of stats and compare that to the previous years. Basically I want to know whether I am ahead of behind the previous year (and the years before) in my mileage and elevation gain. There used to be a feature in Stravistix plug-in that displayed a graph comparing up-to-date stats between all years, but that is no longer working and Strava itself has nothing li
If I go to the Strava Athlete Heatmaps page, I am seeing some strange behavior where some Rides are being shown when I filter for Runs only. It seems like this happens for 2016 and earlier years (and therefore also shows up for the "All-time" option)For example, here'a screenshot showing that I ran around Lake Tahoe. I have sadly not done something so epic..Anyone else seeing this bug? Can someone from Strava take a look? Thanks!
Could weather data be enlisted to create a new grouping of segment achievements (similar to the age / gender / weight groupings) based on wind direction? Wind assisted PR’s and KOM’s can be impossible to compete with.
It would be really useful if the Webhook Event "aspect_type = update" of "activity" would be triggered for the "gear_id" field.I'm building an app and would really like to be notified when the gear_id of an activity just changed. For my app, a change of "Gear_id" means a lot.Thanks.
With the addition of so many new activities, I now have trouble scrolling through them all on my watch to find the one I want to use and sometimes choose the wrong one. It would be nice if you can choose favorite activities to make them either show at the top of the activities list or hide all activities besides your favorites. Separate note, with all of the recently added activities, how has unicycling not been added yet? I have friends who do this with no way to really record their rides other than using the generic cycling activities and they have no chance of ever hitting leader boards. They need their own.
I was wondering if Strava could add a dislike button to comments, kinda like the Like button
I am receiving double notifications for all of my activities starting yesterday. Just wondering what is happening
First off all sorry that the folowing screenshots are in German. Hope this won't be big issue.When I receive new kudos or one of my favorite contacts uploaded a new activity I receive a push notification:When I klick on this notification I am directed to the corresponding activity. I can check who elso gave me kudos or I can leave kudos and/or comments on my favorite friends activity. So far so good.The question is: If I do like above why does the number batch on the bell and home symbol not disappear? Why is it still necessary to first open the notifications (bell symbol) and then switch back to the home screen again to make the number batch disappear?Is there anything here that I'm missing or could this be revised?
I have recently noticed an influx of previously unheard-of riders who have appeared in the Club I ride with. I am not the administrator of the Club, but I thought I would ask the question anyway - "how has this happened, have any other clubs come across this glitch, and how do we remove them"? They are also clogging up the Leaderboard!
Hello,I have some difficulty to really appreciate the Start Points feature on map because it’s misleading with real geographic points.For instanceI can see ‘Start Point to [summit name] with written below ‘x nb of routes’ but I can not see where is this ‘summit name’ which I am interested in.And it arrived that I used the start point location instead of the geographical destination point due to this confusion.If it may be difficult to ensure that associated geographical destination of a Start Point is displayed (such as straight dashed lines in between) I guess it could be possible to see the routes which are associated to those start points ?From my knowledge, I was not able to see them, but only the suggested routes corresponding to the active criteria. (following https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/4420443741453)Thanks in advance for any additional explanation !Vincent
I was looking for a hill segment that I wanted to try for the first time, and when I found it discovered that I was already recorded in Strava as having done it. I looked at the route that I had supposedly done (on 22/05/2022) and it's one that I have never completed. It does start and end a couple of miles from where I live, and there are some parts that I have done as recently as yesterday(!), but there are others which I don't know at all. It feels very odd. Has this happened to anyone else?
Feature: Define the default equipment depending on the activity type.For instance: I use different running shoes when running on the treadmill/virtual run than when running outdoors.Also it would be great to have another rule to do the same based on distance of the activity
Hi, is there a possibility to switch all stored routes from private to public? Does anyone now how to do. To edit a route and switch while store the changes is well known, but not possible for more than 250 routes.
