I’ve noticed that in the activity feed, sometimes the activity shows the elapsed time, and other times it shows the moving time.

For example, last weekend and this weekend I did bike rides with similar distance and elevation. On both rides I even got a new PR for my longest distance. However, last weekend the feed showed the moving time, while this weekend it displayed the elapsed time.

Could you explain why this difference happens, and what determines whether Strava shows elapsed time or moving time in the feed?
Could it be related to the fact that this weekend’s ride was a group ride?
And finally, is it possible to choose or change which one is displayed?

Hi ​@YannCh,

in general, races and PRs/best efforts always use elapsed time, the rest would usually be moving time. Here's a detailed article - it should clarify your questions. (If it doesn't, it would help if you post links to actual activities.)
