Feature idea: being able to create "loop" segments

[victorls]

Sometime you want to create a segment which is are a loop.
However, if you don't start this loop exactly at the same location, you won't be compared to other athletes.

It would be great if strava could detect that a segment is a loop and allow comparison between activities, whatever the starting point

This would be a welcome feature. There are lots of places (trails around lakes, for example), where there are numerous segments that follow exactly the same route, but with different start/end locations. It would be nice if there was the ability to have a single "around the loop" segment, where anyone completing the loop would be on the leaderboard regardless of where they started.

Completely agree!

There are lakes loops, airports loops, park loops... People are cycling and running few laps during a training, starting from different points.
I wanted to propose this idea and saw you, victorls also thought about it. Hope to be implemented, although the idea is only few time voted. 😞

Finger crossed.
