Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Tuesday Chat with Team Strava! Our aim with this series is to give you an exclusive glimpse into all things Strava that you normally wouldn’t find elsewhere and to open up discussions with all of you strivers! The series will continue, but this is the final post with the 'History of Strava' theme.
This week we have prepared another fun quiz to see if you can identify the false statement from the (2) true ones.
For the past 3 weeks we’ve discussed the inception of Strava dating back to the mid-90s giving some background on how our co-founders met on the rowing team, the humble and rather astonishing origin story of Strava segments, major milestones that we’ve celebrated and more. In case you missed those posts, you can find them here.
It’s no secret that Strava has undergone a ton of changes since it first came to life. Did you know that at one point the logo was green because our CEO and co-founder Michael Horvath wanted to emphasize and bring attention to sustainability and environmental concerns? Personally, I can’t imagine Strava being anything but its iconic orange self!
Now for this week’s trivia question! We are presenting two truths and a lie.
Guess which one of the following is the incorrect statement:
Shortly after Strava was launched…
- Only activities that had been recorded with a Garmin device could be uploaded
- There was a separate Strava app created only for runners
- An ad-free version of the app was made available to subscribers only
Write your guess in the comments along with 2 truths and 1 lie about yourself, so that others can take turns guessing yours!
We'll reveal the false statement next week and hope you enjoyed learning about our history.
