(RESOLVED) Heat Map Not Updating

My ride this evening does not appear on my personal heat map.   Following the recommendation from other forum posts, I changed the activity to something else (Badminton) and then back to Ride.  It still doesn't appear on my heat map. https://www.strava.com/activities/12106985405

Flyby issue

Good day, I'm having trouble seeing any flybys.  It is showing my route but no other riders.  I've been out on busy days at popular spots and a few people I've ridden recorded rides but did not show up on flybys.I checked my privacy settings and all seems fine.  I haven't seen any flybys on my last 10 rides or so, not one.  Any suggestions or solutions?Viewing on a 2017 MacBook Air using Safari.

Strava time stamps are not local time?

HI community,I have been using Strava for the past 14 months with full subscription and find it great for aggregating all my activities.Lately I have noticed that the Strava Clock is not my local clock, the Strava clock is apparently Strava server time. Example in question, on the 2nd of February I did 3 activities starting local times 8.59 AM, 9.52 AM and 10.26 AM. These were exported to Strava with time stamps 1st of February 11.59 PM,  2nd of February at 12.52 AM and 1.26 AM.According to Strava time I did 1 activity on the 1st and 2 activities on the 2nd of February when I in local time did 3 activities before noon on the 2nd of February. All local times are exported -9 hrs.It might have been like this for a long time, but I only discovered it today.How do I "reset" the Strava clock to my local time?/Ulf

The beginning of the week

Our week starts on Sunday, and my monthly running diary, every week starts on Monday and it's hard to understand how many days I'd ran every week and which week... is there a way to change it? In Garmin, as I remember, I can choose the starting day of the week..Thank you!

Route not shown on Heatmap

Hello all, On of my rides are not shown on the Heatmap, even though the activity has been recorded: https://www.strava.com/activities/9062889956  Anyone else who have met this problem or is there some kind of box I have ticked, that makes this ride invisible on the Heatmap? Best Thorkild

separate running power from cycling power

It is necessary to be able to separate running power from cycling power. They are measured differently and it is obvious that they are not comparable. The FTP measured in cycling cannot be compared with the FTP measured in running and that makes all metrics based on FTP or the power curve no longer useful.

Historical data for newly created segements

I have recently created two new segments to add a little competition to the Wednesday evening run for my running group. However, having created them, historical data has been pulled from as far back as 2016 and data from activities that have obviously been entered incorrectly e.g. a run that was actually a cycle. As an example, the leader of a segment I have recently created 'ran' at 1:45 mins/km which equates to 25 miles/hr.Is there an option to create a completed new segment with no historical data? Is there an option to reduce how far back historical data is pulled from?

Bug: ebike rides do not contribute to personal goals

I'm using multiple bikes, includin an ebike for tracking with StravaUnfortunately the bike distance goals are either buggy or make no sense.Personal bike distance goals do not consider ebike rides. But I can't set a distance goal only for ebike rides either.In my profile stats, ebike rides do contribute to my bike stats, and additionally ,there I can filter for ebike rides only.So this is really not consistent at all.Pleaser let ebike rides contribute to the personal distance goals too,

Different bikerides (Ride, Mountain bike Ride and Gravel) Segments

If i Ride up a dirt road with my bike and register it as an Ride, will it be on the same segments on that road that if I had registered it as a gravel ride or a mountainbike ride? Or is it different segments for all 3?

Do outdoor route estimates include speeds from virtual rides?

Can someone please tell me if the time estimates calculated for outdoor rides (based on last 4 weeks’ rides I believe) ignore the speeds from recent virtual rides, which are usually much higher than IRL rides? Thanks

Strava Routing on new roads

Hi there, looking for help on how to update maps in Strava. I live in a town that has a new bypass, the road was opened 2 months ago. The road shows on the map, but you cannot route using the road, it's like the routing tools dont "see" this new road, and constantly route around it. How do you report / update maps to include this new 3km of roads? I know you can set manual mode and place multiple points and do it that way, but the road is quite curved and can be tricky to get accuracy.

Activity not shown as dirt

When an activity is uploaded the map doesn’t differ between paved and unpaved surfaces. I don’t get the dotted line for example for gravel rides in the forest. Any idea of how to reactivate this feature?

How to remove/disable Sport Types you don't need

In the watch app the list of sport types is so large I have to scroll to find the activity i'm about to do. I only have 4 activities. How can unwanted sport types be disabled or removed so they don't appear as an option in the app?

Getting rid of motorbike rides

I ride an e-bike and I often see motorbike rides recorded as an e-bike ride.  They have ridiculous speeds (above 100 km/h) and lead all segments and I'm getting tired of flagging them. It would be great if these were cleaned up automatically based on maximum speed. Thanks.

Auto Excluded Efforst

https://www.strava.com/activities/11239201596Hello everyone,Yesterday I made a really hard effort and I broke my record for 3 segments listed in the picture above which are excluded for me. On 2 segments, I didn't even take the KOM, so I don't see why my result is excluded for those 3 segments, while the results for the other segments are included. You can review the entire ride and see that everything is fine.My HRM wasn't working because the battery ran out on my Garmin. You can see from all my previous rides that I use it, and it's not my intention to cheat or do anything suspicious, but to enjoy riding and achieve good results.I use Strava because I love segments, leaders, personal records, KOMs, but it feels like a lottery whether efforts will be considered at all.I hope you will consider my complaint because otherwise I wouldn't have written it here.Thank you for your understanding.

Distance of manual swimming activities doesn't make sense

Manually added swimming activities can only be measured in multiples of 25 metres or yards. However, many pools are not a standard size and this makes it clumsy. Also, to compound the issue I can add decimal places. For example, I can add a 1,000.3m swim, but not a 1,030m swim. Allowing manual swims to be completely adjustable would have better functionality. Put bluntly, allowing such precision for centimetres but not metres makes little sense.  Not all wearables track swimming, or do so accurately. However, pools will often indicate length and you can just count laps, then upload. Strava does a poor job of supporting these swims.

Include timestamp and location in photo EXIF of Strava archive

Thank you for a great app and thank you for offering a data export function through the Strava archive.   Could you please include timestamp and location information as EXIF tags in the media files of the Strava archive? I would like to use the media files in the Strava archive to create a photo album of the workout photos in chronological order and with location information.   Thanks for your consideration.
