Add Mountain Bike and Gravel bike filters for the My Activities page on the web

[GMaragon]

It would be great if on the My Activities page we could filter on Mountain Bike in the Sport drop down menu.  Not sure why Mountain Bike isn't in that menu, all the other sports seem to be.  A Ride and a Mountain Bike Ride are two very different things and it would be great to be able to filter on it.

Thanks for submitting your idea. It has been reviewed by our moderation team and is now open to voting.

The idea title was edited so it will be easier for others to search and vote on. Thank you for your contribution.

This isn't really an idea in need of votes (it's not a feature request). It's a bug fix! It doesn't make sense to be able to filter by 95% of the activity types but to arbitrarily leave some off. I think it must have been an oversight/error when this search function was created!

@gburkhard The search function predates the MTB activity type by approx 10 years, therefore it's not an initial oversight.

Thanks for the response, Jan. But I am pretty sure Mountain Biking was an activity before Stair-stepping and Football (soccer), both of which are included! Were all of those new activates voted in via the forum post requests from users?

I just think this request needs more attention than voting in a forum, because how many of us Strava users care enough to engage the forums? I didn't even know that I should make requests here, and I emailed support first! Even if the MTB activity came after the initial implementation of the search, the context of the request (literally all of the more esoteric activities being included, and one of the core Strava activities - a form of cycling - not being included for no apparent reason) really makes this seem like an oversight/error, and not a feature request that should get voted on to get the attention of the developers.

Thanks!

Stair-stepping and Football are their own activity types but MTB and gravel are subsets of rides, so I think it wasn't the same priority for Strava to include them like the former two.

By the way you can filter the gear in the "my activities" for your MTB bike or gravel bike after selecting Ride. It's not the same as the feature request but if there is only the one gear it produces the same result.
