If we have cycled a route, we have of course had many segments.. If I click on such a segment in my activity, my average/maximum speed/cadence, etc. will appear. There are also some other options such as "analyze" and "goal setting" possible. But if I want to share a specific segment, some can not be found in the segment map. For example, I cycled a route with the segment "Bättenalp Climb" near Iseltwald, Switzerland. It is a segment/climb of approximately 10km long with an average percentage of 11.2%. Among the segments I rode during that activity was also the segment "Werzisboden uphill". A segment of approximately 7.6 km long and an average of 10.1% that partly corresponds to "Bättenalp Climb". If I search/look at the map for these segments, after filtering segments with a length of >7km, all types of road surfaces and elevation climbing, I only see the "Bättenalp Climb" segment. Nothing else. The "Werzisboden uphill" cannot be found on the segment map at all. Even if the segments are not filtered, this segment is not visible. Sharing this segment is therefore not possible. What would be a nice option/idea is that, after selecting a segment in your activity, you can also select a "share segment" function. This so that you do not have to search for the segment on the map first. ... View more

The route planning heat maps show all cycling routes combined. This is a problem when trying to plan a route for a road bike, especially in mountainous or outback areas, because it is impossible to distinguish between a paved road and a gravel road. That leaves an annoying sense of doubt when riding in new areas and can even result in having to scrap a planned ride mid-route if turns out to be unpassable on a road bike. ... View more

It would be cool if we could find on a special tab in the app how many kilometers we rode only for « travel/transport » rides in the week. And not only the total kilimeters we rode on the week including all the rides in the week. For example this week, I rode 32km for « travel & transport » and 66km as « sport bike » rides. And to guess it, I had to compute how many « travel & transport » I made in the week. If this tool could be launched and automatise, it would be nice just to have an idea of the proportion between both categories of rides. Thank you 😄 ... View more

I think adding a global leaderboard for PRs (across all race distances) will be a great addition to Strava. This is important to me because I want to follow and get inspired by the fastest athletes and see who I am close to in my own city based on PRs.  An example of when I need this is when I want to check PRs and filter by city, state, country and globally.  Make it opt-in only so that people have to manually input their PRs linked to a race or activity on Strava.  ...

I participate in many social bike rides each week. While Strava offers some helpful features, most groups resort to using a scattered mix of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Meetup, public Google calendars, and even text reminders to manage rides. Strava could implement a comprehensive group event management solution that streamlines this process. This would ideally include: Groups can post their schedules (existing feature). Ride leaders can plot the actual route (requires permission management for editing group events). A beacon feature allows latecomers to locate the group in real-time. Users can subscribe to recurring rides under a club, with automatic syncing to their phone calendars. Push notifications for subscribed rides, keeping everyone informed about route changes, ride leaders, store stops, and more. Push notifications and/or text message reminders for upcoming subscribed events. Automatic recording triggered at the start location for all subscribed participants. Automatic cross-posting of events to Facebook Events, Instagram Activities, etc. Push notifications to users that a group activity they are subscribed to is near their current location (configurable distance). Strava's Potential: Strava is already a fantastic platform for activity recording and has a social media framework. However, for a truly social experience, discipline-specific features might be necessary and each activity has unique needs. This approach, with a mix of core functionalities and potential premium features, would allow Strava to cater to a wider range of users while offering valuable tools for group leaders.   ...

Importance: Integrating Concept2 devices with Strava would make the platform an essential tool (including the advanced analytics features in the Strava premium subscription) for rowers, skiers, cyclists, and other athletes who rely on these devices for their daily training. The PM5 (Performance Monitor 5), the standard computer unit across all three Concept2 devices, offers wireless connectivity that could be leveraged to enable seamless workout syncing with Strava. This integration would provide a more comprehensive and convenient training experience for Concept2 users, allowing them to track progress, analyze performance, and engage with the Strava community. Details: The proposed integration would include: Automatic syncing of workouts from Concept2 devices to Strava via the PM5's wireless connectivity feature Detailed workout data, including distance, time, pace, calories burned, and Concept2-specific metrics like average pace and split times Accurate categorization of Concept2 workouts (SkiErg, RowErg, or BikeErg) for easy filtering and analysis Seamless integration with Strava's existing features, such as kudos, comments, and performance analytics By implementing this integration, Strava would demonstrate its commitment to supporting a diverse range of athletes and their preferred training methods. The Concept2 community would benefit from having a centralized platform to track and share their workouts, leading to increased motivation and engagement. Moreover, Strava could attract new users who prioritize Concept2 devices in their training, strengthening its position as a leading fitness platform in the market. ... View more

As a Strava athlete I use to plan my bicycle routes in advance. When planning routes it should be really nice if wind data was displayed on the map when searching for routs.  wind should be displayed with live forecast with a gradient like the heat map on the route, based on the m/s and the route direction and likely headwind.  visible on saved routes or suggested regarding todays forecast and the routes directions.    ...

TRANSLATION: Hello everyone, Here is my suggestion: For a month I have been using a DI2 and my Wahoo captures all the gear changes I make during my ride. The Elemnt Android app collects all the data and sends it to Strava. I can therefore analyze my route, my HR, my data from my power sensor and the speed sensor on Strava, but Strava does not recover the data from DI2, although it is present on Elemnt. When we are on the route analysis option of Strava, as the mouse moves, we have the altitude, the % of the climb, the HR, the speed, the distance, it is no longer missing as the gear indication. It would be great to compare the same climb on several outings with different gears... Thank you for confirming to give me your opinions. If they collect a certain number of pros, is it complicated to upgrade this option for Strava. Mark   Bonjour à tous, Voici ma suggestion : Depuis un mois j’utilise un DI2 et mon Wahoo capture tous les changements de vitesses que j’effectue durant ma sortie. L’application Elemnt Android récupère toutes les données et les envoie à Strava. Je peux donc sur Strava analyser mon parcours, ma FC, mes données provenant de mon capteur de puissance et du capteur de vitesse, mais Strava ne récupère pas les données du DI2, pourtant bien présente sur Elemnt. Lorsqu’on est sur l’option analyse du parcours de Strava, au fur et à mesure que la souris se déplace, nous avons l’altitude, le % de la montée, la FC, la vitesse, la distance, il ne manque plus que l’indication du braquet. Ce serait formidable de comparer sur plusieurs sorties, la même montée avec des braquets différents… Merci de me confirmer de me donner vos avis. S’ils recueillent  un certains nombres de pour, est-ce compliqué à upgrader cette option pour Strava. Marc   ... View more

There should be an option for a running store to display on their TV a viewer mode of a local club's or the store club's page. This viewer mode would cycle between the leader boards, posts, and recent activities of the day. Have like a 10 second timer for each page. Have it randomly shuffle through the clubs members daily activities and have it displayed. This would grow Strava's brand and usage for the local area as people would want to join the club or strava if they arent a member already. This would also promote local running stores and clubs. ...

Hi guys, so there is new sport type out there electric motorcycle , electric light motorcycle some something between bicycle and motocross bike. it will be great if we will have a new sport type to record our activity (right now im using E-bike) and i guess that make me takes all the KOM from the bicycle riders 🙂 Thanks Aloosh ...

We frequently see unintentional "cheating" on segment leaderboards by users who leave Strava recording running while driving home after an activity. While it's impossible to automatically flag all activities recorded using motor vehicles, it should be practical to catch those who travel some distance on freeways where bikes and pedestrians aren't allowed. Check OpenStreetMap for feature type motorway. These are always controlled access roads, known as freeways in the USA. There are a lot of other good ideas in this forum for automatic flagging based on unrealistic speeds or lack of supplementary sensor data, but this idea is specifically about detecting travel on freeways which can't possibly represent a real sport activity. ...

When you sign up for a club event and then record a matching cycling or running activity on the scheduled day then the activity should automatically link to the event. It's nice to be able to keep track of club events where you participated, and for your followers to see which clubs are scheduling events. Currently when a club event date has passed it just sort of disappears from the Strava web site and mobile apps; there's no way to easily find it again or see who participated. ... View more

In the past few months, the challenge level of many of the challenges has dropped. While this is good in that it allows newer Strava athletes to attain reasonable goals, there are many of us who are seeking more and would like to have badges or achievements to work toward. My suggestion is to create levels for each challenge, maybe labled bronze, silver, and gold, to allow for further pushing. For example, the monthly run distance badge could have 100km as the bronze goal, 200km as the silver goal, and 300km as the gold. Walking could have 30km, 50km, and 100km, and so on. This would allow for all levels of athletes to achieve a monthly challenge goal that challenges them as an individual instead of having just one goal set for us all. (I know that there is a goal setting feature, but that is a paid feature and in the name of equity, I believe that both subscribers and free Strava users deserve to be able to set a goal in some way.) ...

Hi Strava, you have just introduced a partnership with Fi collar to record dog activities, but why not review the idea of introducing CaniSports activities which we have been asking for. We the CaniSports community have been asking for you to add a dog assisted category, so that our growing community can compare our efforts with other like minded dog enthusiasts.  please consider adding CaniCross, CaniBike and CaniScoot to the activities. Nothing more than what can be recorded for someone going for a run or bike, but assisted by the dog and get the non canine athletes off our backs when we score a POM  ... View more

Let users define a cycling round course for a group or club activity that can be joined by others along the way (forming temporary ride partnerships/ road trains). Cyclist will start go around the course at a defined time and pick up others along the way. The pass-by-time or pick-up time can be calculated for the starting position of each user. They will join in when the road train passes by and drop off when they have done the course.  Examples: 1.) When going with a club not everyone will be able to make it to the start / gathering point some people have already gone "a long way" before they come to the gathering point. It will be much easier to join a "bike train" when it passes close to your house. 2.) You are on holiday at an unknown location and want to join a temporary cycling activity. You check your local road trains passing by and join in when it passes by your holiday place. You will instantly find new friends at that new location. ... View more
