Missing features for "My Routes"

Strava maps and routes are great and help we in planning my rides, runs and hikes.Great also that there are now more categories (i.e. Ride, Run, Walk, Trail Run, Gravel Ride, Mountain Bike)2 features are missing for me to manage My Routes:1. A capability to change the category from one to another - Sometimes one recorded the route under the wrong category. Now with the new categories, I would like to recategorize My Routes accordingly.2. Please allow sorting and searching within My Routes, so that it becomes easier to find the required route among the many others.If there are any workarounds at the moment, would appreciate guidance. Otherwise, hope above could be added to the already great functionality of Strava

why isn't shoe mileage recording?

This feature was working fine for years, but after I retired a few shoes and now have only a single default pair my mileage isn't getting added to them. I've tried resetting stats but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I can try?

Club Leaderboard View

How would one go about changing the club leaderboard stats view. By default, in the app, it shows all athletes and time.I would like for it to show distance on the leaderboard, and "total club distance" on the main club page instead.

Recurring payments in the wake of new Credit Card Regulations in India

India has new regulations towards credit card information storage and processing. Strava payments are not compatible with those regulations and my renewals are being declined. Is there an update to the payments feature that is going to fix this?

KOM/QOM on walks?!?!

Is there a way to turn off segments and kom/qom when doing walks? I think it’s ridiculous to track speed when just walking.

Make an activity extract tool

The ability to extract part of an activity, rather than a full split, would be useful. My use case is I hiked around a lake, and had a swim half way through. I wanted to save the entire Hike as one activity, with the Swim as another. This is currently achievable, but it's long - split the activity, crop the middle activity, download all 3 files, use a text editor to piece gpx files 1 & 3 together, delete all 3 activities, upload the 2 new gpx files.This could be made much easier by enhancing your current Activity Split tool.

A better range of incentives

For a long time it has felt that KOM's are past their sell by date, particularly when group rides and pro riders are all taken as equal. The segment legends  helped show another way but it feels more can be done. As an educator i'm always interested in rewarding improvement rather than clumsy top marks. Strava should trial other  grading criteria related to improvement - e.g best percentage improvement this month on a segment, consistency ratings/ improvements, increase in weekly distance, improvement in longest ride etc. So not absolute numbers but rather % improvement. The data exists, so use it more inclusively.

Can't Edit Routes

Can't edit/move a waypoint on Strava desktop.OK, I'm trying to move a waypoint to a different road. Well, not a waypoint per se, it's just a route, there are no waypoints at this point. If i click and drag on the route, it updates to the new route -  but then as soon as I release, it jumps back to what it was ... though now with a new waypoint where I grabbed it.Not the only one reporting this. (On a Macbook Pro, regardless of the browser.)

Segment date and hare hound

Under segments compare there's the choice to see times and ranks against a filter of age, followers and the like and there's a today filter which is really useful for seeing how you and your buddies did on a section, however, it would be HUGELY useful if there was a filter by date option even if you could select a specific date going only back a few days. Ideally we could be able to select an unlimited date range for eg. The weekend of *>*The other thing I'd like to have is a 'time of day started' from a given point or segment start. Limited use cases I grant you but it can come in handy to determine how far you were behind a group and how much time you gained or lost by the end by looking at a segment at, or near the start and end of the group ride whilst ignoring an individual's ride to start and ride home. This is mainly for hare/hound kind of rides which are becoming increasingly popular here.

Apple Watch on a scooter (non-electric)

Hi!I recently picked up a non-electric scooter from Decathlon so I can save some time on walks while still getting some movement in, instead of going lazy with an electric scooter.I'm looking for a workout type (preferably in Strava) that would roughly match the calorie calculation, while also logging my heart rate, speed/distance and GPS route in to my Apple Health/Fitness apps. I was trying to find a list that shows which workouts log what, but can't find that for either the Apple workout app or Strava.I can't imagine I'm the only one looking for this, what are you all using for this to get the data I mentioned earlier?While we're at it; I went stand up paddleboarding yesterday, it didn't log a route/speed for me. Does anyone here know if that is to be expected?Thanks!

Getting Creative with Strava! 💡

Hello all 👋 We often see unique and interesting examples of how athletes are using Strava data. It is usually related to segments or clubs, and it gets super creative! For example, Strava Segments are a fun way to compete against yourself and/or others. We've heard that our community has gotten creative and used segments to power new experiences, games, or competitions within their local networks.  Have you ever used Strava Segments (or any other Strava feature) differently? If so, tell us how - we would love to know more! 📢

Show average percent grade in route builder

Hi,It'd be great if the route builder could show average percent grade for the current route.I can mainly see this being used for seeing the grades of hills when looking for areas to run hills on and trying to find a certain grade of hill i.e. 3%, 4%, 5% etc.

Power & Heart Rate Zones Map

One of my analysis on my own training is to look at my ride map and view it in power zones based on my selected FTP/Vo2max, when I look at power and heart rate in general its very difficult to see the strain on the effort, on my own Api I have done this at the top of the picture you can see the the power zone for each and including the FTP calculated, I have other options to filter segments and laps, also the time aggregated average so bunch the wattage every 20 seconds,30, 60, 2 minutes, thats what the sliders alow you to adjust

Cumulative split times

When you view your lap times, it would be nice to have a column with the cumulative time of that split and perhaps some other stats would be good (eg cadence or avg HR for that split)

Overhaul best efforts

Allow us to exclude activities from best efforts without needing to delete or trim the activity. Very useful if you get a GPS glitch midwayShow current year best efforts, most of us can't match let alone beat our younger self

How are the trail network map areas created?

 I’d love to know how the trail network map areas are created / generated and if they’re curated at all.The example in the screen capture shows a cluster of trails at “South Hills Preserve”, which everyone locally knows as “Hulda Crooks” because that’s the name of the park where the main parking lot is located. But as a trail network area on the Map, it appears to be labelled “TWH”, which is coincidentally actually the acronym of a group that meets there weekly for a run (a great group of awesome trail runners). But it’s not technically the name of the trail location, which could lead to some confusion?

Suffer Score -> Relative Effort

So... I remember when Strava used to have a 'Suffer Score' (instead of Relative Effort), and I do know that the new mechanism (relative effort) is more accurate.  When this got changed, was there anything done to convert the existing 'Suffer Score' on activities to relative effort, or did the existing number remain, with only the label updated?When I go into my activities, and sort by relative effort, even though some numbers seem quite high, I'd say the ordering is still accurate - but I'd like to know if there is any issue with a 'scale' on some that predated the relative effort.
