Route sends me down path where cycling is not allowed

Hi there,  There is a path near me which is designated as a public footpath, but Strava is happy to route cycling routes down it - in the UK there is a distinction in law between bridleway/byway (cycles allowed) and footpath (cycles not allowed). I had a run-in with the landowner yesterday, and they are well within their rights to insist that no cycles are allowed.  I understand that Strava uses OSM data but this appears to be correctly tagged as a footpath only (see screenshot below) - implying the data is not being correctly grabbed, or the Strava base map needs some kind of refresh. I wonder if there is a way to ensure that Strava does not route cyclists down here in the future.  FWIW - whether or not this path is appropriate to ride on is irrelevant, the distinction is made in law. I feel there is a delicate truce that must be maintained between landowners and the public regarding access rights and path designations in the UK. Proof of ability to route down this

Fix the Top Sport algorithm for Year in Sport

The current algorithm that determines Top Sport for Year in Sport is inaccurate. I walked 200 miles this year, and ran 1,800 miles--yet my "Top Sport" is walking. The reason is that my runs are split up between "Trail Run" and "Run" both of whose individual count of activities are less than the number of total walks I did since I typically go for a walk in the evening. You could fix this by either determining "Top Sport" by the number of miles NOT by number of activities, or if you are intent on counting activities, then count "All Run" instead of the subcategories. Either way, the algorithm is horrible and as a paying subscriber who ran 1800+ miles, one 100-miler, 2 50-milers, and 2 50Ks this year, it's reveals a lack of seriousness on your part to reveal to me that my top sport is "Walking" in the year in review feature.

Cannot find old 'drag/highlight' feature to show stats within a section of an activity

Hi all. Strava used to have a very useful feature whereby a user could highlight a section of an activity and see what the distance and elevation gain was within it. I now cannot use that feature - when I highlight a section by dragging it it no longer gives the stats for that section. It used to be available on the main 'Analysis' button, but now that is no longer a button. Does anyone know how to still access this drag feature to get the stats within a section? ThanksDavid

Alpine (downhill skiing)

 There’s an icon for Alpine skiing, but it doesn’t work.  Uphill distance in the chairlift is included (!!) so speed is completely skewed.  Also, non-sensical segments, perhaps from summer hiking or mountain biking (?) are included in stats.  The alpine skiing icon should be removed from the list of sports that Strava “supports” until this is fixed!  The stats make absolutely no sense for downhill skiing and they are extremely misleading until you use another app to see your real stats and then figure out what the problem is with Strava.

How to compare previous year's stats with current?

Hi - Is there a way to view previous year's stats to compare with current? So for example, I might want to compare my rides over the last few years to see how many miles or climbing etc, that I've done in each year to monitor how I'm doing this year. All I can see is the current year and all time details.

Bulk editing activiti

I miss the option to edit multiple activities at once, like visibility and delete options and the bike that was used. For example, I have many invisible activities that I want change to visible. Now I can only do one at the time.

Segment Search Functionality

Does anyone else have difficulty searching for specific segments? I am working on doing a segment challenge for my local running club and I am finding it very difficult to filter and search for specific segments. Right now there are 334 pages of segments that I have to sort through…it is extremely frustrating. The only search criteria that is included does not allow me to hone in on a specific type of route or specific location. Everything is very general and requires a lot of scrolling.If this doesn’t already exist, has Strava considered adding filters to the search criteria? I am a paid customer and would like to search by distance and specified location (think boundary similar to what Zillow has in its search feature). Currently I can only search based on location- which only includes segment name or a specified city/ there needs to be an option to refine this to a smaller area. I’d also like to sort based on distance of the run, type of run (one way, out and back, loop).

Biggest Climb in My Stats

I noticed the biggest climb is missing from my stats. I remember it used to be there but now there is no value, just a blank field. Any ideas?

Excessive notifications since last update

Please, Strava, stop with the new “Kudos on logging an activity” and “your activity is ready” BS notifications. Or let me turn off in the settings Strava system notifications. I only want notifications for when a follower comments on a ride or when they (another human) gives me a kudos. This has gotten way out of hand.

A hidden area should be hidden always. 🙂

A hidden area should be hidden always. 🙂I go trough hidden areas at a ride sometimes. But hidden areas will be hidden at the end or start of a ride. It should be hidden at always for privacy.

Is Strava Flybys not working?

I'm trying to view Flybys for today's (and prior) run(s). I'm not seeing anything load (see image below) and I'm seeing a unicode type character referenced in the orange section where I assume the route name would be. I do have Flybys privacy set to allow Everyone to view as well, in case that information is helpful.     Thank you!!

Features mismatch between mobile application and web site

I purchased Strava subscription for the first time. On web site there is end-of-year discount for yearly subscription, on mobile app there is not, so I subscribed using website. Frist what I did was to join training plan using web site. Very soon I discovered that the same plan is not visible on my mobile app. Than I created group challenge on mobile app. Of course, I discovered that this time group challenges are not visible on website. It looks like significant lack of basic communication between teams developing mobile app and website. Very strange and unprofessional.
