It's quite common to find people who use Strava to record "activities" while driving. Especially when looking at segments leaderboards, where the top "athletes" have avg speeds tens of kmh higher than the ones that actually did it on a bike. I understand many people do this because maybe (idk) there is no other app that does this kind of gps tracking specifically for drivers. I always wondered why Waze doesn't do this, since lots of drivers already use it. You can get some stats, but not a record keeping like Strava does. Another way it can happen is when a cyclist forgets to stop Strava after the ride then gets in a car and drives home or whatever. I know we can all flag an activity, but this relies on individual finds and input that then has to be individually analised by you. There has to be a smarter way to deal with this! One solution is to simply add "Driving" as an activity type. And automatically set it if the speed goes over 80kmh, for example. I also believe it's quite simple to automatically identify if an activity was done on a motorized vehicle or on a bike. Like, if the speed went over 60kmh and it's not downhill, it was almost surely not on a bike. And then when the activity is finished, show a message to the user saying it has been identified as driving. If the user disagrees, it's up to them to prove what they did. Can this be done? ...

Hi Strava Community, I don't own an iPhone, yet I own an Apple watch. Yet I can't get Strava on my watch without owning an iPhone for some reason, so I have to put in my activities manually. This means I miss out on heaps of features, and my idea is that it should be available to connect Strava straight from an Apple watch to a computer/iPad. If this happens, heaps more people will get to record their runs and more accurately sync them to Strava, and right now there are not enough ways to sync to Strava. You can sync straight from a Garmin, so why not a smart Apple watch?  Thank you for listening and considering. By JakeSzkwarek ... View more

Where I live we ride the same MTB trails in summer with our MTB and in winter with our fatbikes, the problem is that some people KOM segment during the winter on those trails where they are all smooth , hard and FAST! Any ways for Strava to switch to Winter KOM for these segment ? As an example, there are some segment here where the difference between a summer KOM vs a winter KOM is calculated in minutes. Some people KOM at 39 sec during the winter whereas the same segment during summer is a KOM around 1:45 so there is NO WAY to get any KOM in the summer and this ruins the experience.  ... View more

I use Strava on my Apple watch during CrossFit and other gym workouts. There have been a few times where I forgot to manually end the workout when done. I know this function is available for workouts such as running/cycling where GPS is used. It would be great if it could be enabled for non-GPS workouts as well. ... View more

I would like to have another data field added/created which showed how many meters I ascended per kilometer for my activity, similar to what VAM (in other platforms contain) but different in that it's measured/factored against distance undertaken and not duration. Also for training purposes, if I have a MTB race of 120km and total ascent is 1900vm, that means from a specificity viewpoint, I should be training within the range of 1:16 to get a good feel to what awaits me in the race. ...

Has the team explored the idea of tracking entire amateur soccer games? Soccer fans have become very data/stats literate over the last 10 years watching and analysing their favourite professional teams or playing video games like FIFA. But the price point for professional soccer tracking equipment remains high while more amateur/hobby level equipment is tailored to cycling or running. Could Strava partner with some local teams to put together and test out an offering that presents data collected from wearables each player might already own? Or test out trackers in the ball or each players boot - https://twitter.com/joepompliano/status/1598002512639848449?s=46&t=4oJ3PBw6cvSFENlIz20HvA Could Strava give amateur coaches a competitive advantage for a lower price point? Perhaps the team pays a subscription and gets a team portal?  It could be fun if Strava partnered with some professional teams or coaches who could review team data if the team paid a higher subscription. Football is a collective sport so while useful, tracking heatmap or distance of an individual is useful it doesn’t really tell full story of they played in the game. You need to see how your data relates to everything else that happened and at different times in the game. Strava could even turn the product research effort into a mini documentary, PMs and engineers shadowing a team over the course of a season.  ... View more

I personally record my activities on my phone and also on my cheap GPS device as a backup, which I manually upload through the website in case the Strava app crashes. Many people I know also record on their phone and another device, such as a Garmin or Apple Watch. Problem is, most of these devices automatically upload the activity to Strava once it's finished, and when the person also finishes the activity in the Strava app, it creates a Group activity which double counts the activity. Sometimes this is unintentional, but sometimes it's blatant cheating. ... View more

With a small change, this screen can be so much More Useable Could the Date format be changed to MMM DD September 25 August 23 Will Look like Sep 25 Aug 23 (The 1st column chars will be 1 width) This will allow the last column (relative effort) to be readable (I cannot make out the RE number) for months like September. It will also make the screen look much much neater (looks messy at the moment). ... View more
