As an avid downhill mountain biker/snowboarder, it would be cool if Strava worked the way Slopes (getslopes.com) does, where chairlift rides don’t count towards a total activity distance.
When we are doing mountain bike shuttle runs in a car we have to pause our activity while driving to the top of the hill so that we dont take road cyclists KOM's. As you can see in the photo attached it leaves a straight orange line on the map. Is there any way to make it a faded grey colour or dots or something? It would look way cooler and give people more of an incentive not to steal cyclists segments.
It's ridiculous that this hasn't been implimented yet. You already have Skiing and Snowboarding that use the exact same GPS tracking we need by excluding the lift for downhill mountain biking.
if we threaten to cancel our subscription if this cannot get fixed before our next renewal would that get a response beyond under consideration?
You’ve built tracking for skiing and snowboarding just implement the same model to biking. Am I oversimplifying? Maybe but we do pay you after all and that payment is for more than simply doing the same thing it’s in hope of working towards a better product.
I apologize to anyone who’s uphill times are getting crushed by my shuttle laps but I barely remember to turn Strava on let alone pause.
There is option "adjust elevation", so you might add other option inside it, like 'crop lift/shuttle' and inside this option people could mark (not crop from start to end point on km line, but) -just paint some area on map where we don't want to any lenght or elevation data would be recorded (no mater how many times somebody would go that path/way). That could work for lifts, shuttle car/buses etc.: mountainbiking, skiing.
If it correctly calculates the number of runs I've done, how can you not set to remove data between where the run ends to where the next run starts @Jane seems like a really really simple implementation. Saying it can't be done while the evidence it can is literally visible in front of us all?
Lift data is literally 99% of the time a completely straight line, how hard can the coding be to remove those? remove any elevation gain data that falls within this data points providing its within a consistent speed. Lifts are generally consistent vs the speed of say someone cycling/skiing uphill which would have much more frequent speed changes and would not follow a consistently marked path.
You must have near 10s of millions of recorded data sets uploaded to your service that an AI could easily figure out where the lifts are as well.
However you go about this, you've already calculated the number of runs we do so it makes 0 sense why the lift data needs to be included other then using the same algorithm across all sports which is kinda lazy IMHO.
There should really be a Downhill Mountain Bike activity that behaves like Alpine Skiing. Tell me how many runs I did, and don’t count lifts towards elevation gain. Thank you 🙏
For downhill activities (mainly bike) it happens that uphill is done by cablecar or shuttle.
For those case it will be great to have possibility to ignore the elevation of the given activity so that the climbing stats, both for the rider and the bike, are not poluted.
I know Strava devs hate anything downhill when it comes to mountain biking, but come on you have the template already. DH rides should behave just like snowboarding or alpine skiing, yet after years it's still not a thing.
Downhill mountain bike riders most often ride lift-served terrain. So, please create a “Downhill MTB” sport category that tracks the same metrics as the current Alpine Skiing sport category. This will eliminate the “false climbs” and “enhanced elevation gain” that currently plague the Mountain Bike Ride sport category because of lift-served downhill MTB riders utilizing the Mountain Bike Ride sport category. Thank you!
