Have 'Commute' as a Default Sport in the My Gear section

[Boston]

Seeing as we can label a ride as a Commute, it would be good to have 'Commute' as a Default Sport in the My Gear section.

At the moment the only option for my commuter bike is Ride - where as I would like to have my road bike default for road rides and my commuter bike default for commutes. Like my Mountain Bike is set up to be the default for my mtb rides.

Hey @Boston,

Hi there, thanks for submitting this suggestion. This functionality already exists within Strava, as you can create  a bike gear that you can use for your commuting rides only. Thank you for your contribution and effort to help our online forums to continue to grow.

@Bryant how..?

@Bryant I can't see how to do this either. These are the only options I have:

Hey @Boston & @Vicco,

Thank you both for the follow up question.
I apologize as I've been mistaken. When taking a look myself I see the option isn't available.

Please forgive me. I have moved the status of this idea from Existing to Gathering Kudos.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Strava recently started recognizing either my normal commute route or is basing it on the ride type I set on my Garmin Edge head unit but still defaults to my road bike instead of my older, heavier gravel/commuter bike. I have to remember to switch it each ride or it tracks mileage against the wrong bike. 

Additionally, it’d be nice in the app (website supports this, but is not mobile-friendly) if we could enumerate the rides against our bikes so we can easily identify routes we forgot to switch. There are filters for rides already but not a filter for gear.

This would be great for me!! I ride my commuter to work and gym, and my road bike on regular rides. Annoying to have to change one or the other each time.

How is this still not a thing? Seems like a fairly simple implementation considering the defaults already exist for other types. 

I have to go back every few months to fix all this data and it’s super time consuming

Please add this. Fixing this by hand is annoying. If my Garmin can differentiate, it would be great if Strava could do so too. Thanks
