How can I compare my own segment results?

Hi all is there a way to review a segment PB time against other rides I have done over that segment. Trying to find out where I am gaining and losing time over a specific segment.

Gear mileage doesn't update with retroactive activity assignments

If I assign different shoes to an activity after it's already uploaded, I don't see a change in that shoe's total mileage from the Gear page. I see the same issue whether I update the gear from the iOS app, or the web app. Anyone else seeing this problem? (iOS v321.0.0 (r39013))

Average Pace

Hello Ive been a Strava user for a number of years, and have always used the average pace function - my average pace across total distance run - to track my runs i seem to have automatically been given a preview subscription and now, when I run, I can only see average split pace per km rather than average pace across total distance  please can somebody tell me how I can go back to seeing the previous stat whilst running  thanks alex

Customizing splits

Does anyone know if I can define the size of the splits? By default I can chose between 1km or 1mi, but it would be nice to really define other distances.Even better, it would be awesome to define time splits instead of distance one. That would allow, for instance, to train 1 min splits for fartlek series

External links

Is it OK to link to a YouTube video (in this case a yoga instructional video) in the description of my strava activity and post it to my followers?

rides without equipment

Hello guys,    I use strava to record my mtb rides but I discovered that some of them do not rest the equipment (bicycle) so I do not have a correct calculation of kilometers for bears and consequently even Probikegarage can not display a correct mileage.    I don't know how to filter the rides that they are without equipment and how to add the correct equipment to them.    Also being numerous rides to be corrected are not like making the change by group and not one by one

Average and actual speed

For several weeks, strava has been displaying my current speed and above my average speed during my activities. Someone knows how to reset the average speed ?

Swimming map

Why when I swim in the sea, does it not put a map on my activity. Sometimes it does, other times it doesn’t. I have gps and my phone is alway with me too

Dark Mode !!

It's 2022 and most apps have Dark Mode nowadays. I know, it's weird to use Strava when not working out... But looking at the segments the night before to plan out the next run is a thing. Please make us literally lose less sleep when doing this, or when recording an activity in the evening. This has consistently been the top request on reddit.com/r/strava Thanks

How to enter distances in metres on the Android app?

I'm using an indoor rower and want to enter the number of metres I've done in 10 minutes. I add a manual activity, choose "rowing", but the distance only gives me the option for miles or km. If I use km it only goes to one decimal place, which is no good if I've done 2053m. It's fine on the desktop version (I can do miles, km, metres or yards), but is it possible to do it on the app?

Can’t send multiple likes to followers activities.

Up until recently I could fire off kudos to all the people I follow by clicking a button near the top right (online). When I click it now, it says I have sent kudos to all but this is not the case. It might be an add on app that I have linked to Strava that allowed me to do this but I can’t seem to find out which. This is not to be confused with sending kudos to those who took part in the same activity as me as that works fine.Any suggestions please?

Ride a segment but not in the list.

This morning we did a tour in Belgian Ardennes with our Cycling club.We did a 8 K long climb from La Roche to Samrėe.After syncing, I remarked that on some segments on this climb, I have no result, on others I have results. It's like I didn't passed this segment. This is bizarre 🤔 🤔.What could be a solution for this problem?Thanks for your imput.Patrick - Belgium

Safety concern: time and location shared in feed

Hi thereStrava is awesome - nothing to add to that.However, I have certain security and privacy concerns with regards to the combination of location information (track) and the timing of said recorded track. The location information is an integral part of Strava and I feel that security and privacy concerns are appropriately addressed. I struggle with the time stamp of the activity though. Everybody who has access to my activity can see WHEN I move WHERE. Many people tend to do the favorite routes they do at similar times of the day (before work, lunch time, after work, etc.). It would be awesome to not just have a privacy filter around the start and end location of a run, but also around the start time. For example: no exact time stamp but only the date.In short: remove the threat that runner X is passing by the dark corner of the park every evening at 8:42 pm.Thank you. Happy to hear other voices on the topic.

Activity recording

There are many different activities that can be recorded on Strava but I've taken up Archery and cannot see that on the list provided.Is there any way this can be added or maybe and 'other' activity button so that you can enter what you have done manually. Thanks.

Is there a way to set the default "type of ride" on Strava?

When I ride, it is almost always as a commuter.How can I set Strava so the default "Type of Ride" is "Commute" so I don't need to select it each time I ride?I searched for 'default "Type of Ride"' and couldn't find anything.

Average speed is incorrect

Strava is displaying a far more slower average speed than it actually is. On a 5km 32 minutes run it shows an average speed of 6.2 km/hr. This should be 9.4 km/hr

Why does an Indoor Cycling activity shows in an outdoor segment?

In the ride segment https://www.strava.com/segments/35185845?filter=overall the first place is an indoor ride https://www.strava.com/activities/4587913987How can such a thing be possible? From the look of the ride and its constant speed it really was indoor. Is that some glitch where a virtual ride was tagged wrongly?

Best efforts

I'm sure the new feature called best efforts is helpful to many users.  However, I am a para-athlete and am unable to run.  That being the case, I have no information showing in best efforts despite the fact that I workout with my handcycle 5-6 days a week. Is there any way to change what category the best efforts displays.

Monthly Recap Email

I have seen friends and family that get a strava monthly recap email on the 5th of the next month that gives stats and info about what they did. I do not get this email and it’s not going to spam or anything. I checked email preferences and I have everything on. What can I do?
