Add a new graphic with the statistics of all athletes I follow for the current year, sorted by ascending order, with all the different sports the athlete practises, by time (hours) or distance (km). It would provide a global view of all followed athletes.

When my battery dies or I just forget to stop Strava before commuting home, when I finally remember, I am left with a line across town to my house from the trail (mtb). I would like to see a “hide last segment” option or something so I don’t look like an idiot when I post those workouts. I tried to hold down on that segment to delete or edit (didn’t work.) But I think for a paid app, Strava should also be smart enough to detect that I have left the workout and at least have a notification asking if I’d like to delete the last segment or mark it is a commute. My example is attached.

Considering how much screen space each activity takes in the feed, which is almost entire screen, it is strange there is enough space for only 2 or 3 activity metrics. Often it is just distance and elevation gain, and even duration isn't shown, like in the screenshot below. Imagine someone doing a monster effort and spending 30+ hours doing an ultrarun, and then the time ends up not being shown so others cannot fully appreciate the effort. Arguably, spending that much time on feet is an achievement by itself. Furthermore, in the example below, why there are only two fields shown? There is enough space for the 3rd field. But it seems the horizontal space is taken by the "Achievements" word which I think is completely redundant. And furthermore, I think the feed would likely be much improved by taking two rows to display activity fields.

The route builder is great for planning new routes, however I would like to be able to build multiple routes for multiple sports on a single map. The idea is to be able to pick a sport, draw the route and move on to pick a new sport and draw a new route on the same map. Identifying which sport is which by a the sport icon (or color ) on the map. With kilometer markers on the route, and route numbering, as well as a summary of the activities, with hyperlinks on the activity number to take you to the specific route and provide details on the individual activity. This will be helpful when planning an active holiday where I would like to do multiple trails in multiple locations. This visualization is helpful for 2 reasons: 1) Helps identify which activities to group together based on location 2) Helps you identify how many total km you will cover in your holiday to see if you are fit enough for your planned holiday Please see below a draft of the idea:

Currently e-bikes are the only electric rideable included in Strava's list of activities. Please like and comment on this post for visibility so that we can get Strava to add the other electric rideables as activities. These include: e-scooter, e-skateboard, e-unicycle, and Onewheel just to name the major ones. We are currently having to use unrelated activities to track our routes and segments which we do not wish to do. There are a great number of our members who would pay for a sub to Strava if we had these activities added. Some might argue that these aren't physical activities and don't belong here, but I challenge you to try them if that is your opinion!

It would be great to have an option to bulk edit the map privacy of all past events like we can currently for overall privacy and HR data. That way if you opt to change your default preferences to "Hide your activity maps from others completely" you can easily change this for prior activities rather than having to manually change the maps for each activity. Also, I love all the fun map options! It would be really awesome to be able to show only the outline of the route without any streets or identifiable location data. Maybe it could be an option in similar to satellite vs. traffic view. Love the app! Just hoping to find ways to make it a little safer for folks. Thanks!

(MTB) Segment GPS track can be almost identical for years but track itself could be faster/slower by many reasons. Track being faster is not a big problem but track being slower is. It would be nice if segment creator could be able to archive activities/leaderboards if segment for example is modified in purpose significantly slower.

I have been using Strava to record section hikes I have been doing on the North Carolina Mountains to Sea Trail. The heatmap in particular has been useful to me in seeing what I have done so far and what sections still remain. I have run into the problem, however, that the heatmap amplifies the disconnect between barely disconnected trail sections I have done when I zoom out on the map. For instance, if one day I hiked to a parking lot on the trail and recorded that as one activity, and then the next day hiked from that parking lot to somewhere further down the trail and recorded that as a second activity, if there is not complete overlap in exactly where I started and stopped in the parking lot then the heatmap makes it appear as if there are many miles separating the two activities (at least in a zoomed out view). See photos below for what I mean. Would it be possible to fix this? The most intuitive way for this map to visualize what I have done would do the opposite, I would think: upon zooming out small disconnects would be smoothed away into a continuous line. Any chance the heatmap could be changed in this way? I imagine that other people who use Strava to keep track of long-term section hikes would also appreciate this. Even just psychologically it would be nice to see a long continuous line all across NC now that I’ve done 700+ miles on the trail! All the little disconnects are bad for morale!

Strava recently introduced trail running as a sport“. However, segments don’t play very nicely with some trails. Often when on a trail the particular route you take varies a little bit from run to run. An example of where I just observed this is when on a run in Kenya. My run didn’t match a segment that it should have because I had to take a minor detour due to some animals on the usual route. The “potential segment match analysis tool” (https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918247-Using-the-Potential-Segment-Match-Analysis-Tool) shows this slight deviation: I don’t know what the threshold for a matching segment is. This one was a 79% match according to the tool, but it clearly was the same route. My feature suggestion is to allow the match threshold to be configurable for segments. Segment creators can mark a segment as requiring a lower threshold so it is more likely to match new activities.

It would be great to have the ability to give someone kudos from the alert on an iPhone or android… Possibly from a long press similar to the way other social networks do it.

It'd be interesting if there was an opt-in (something like: "Include my activities in Strava Neighborhoods") feature that allowed you to be part of a neighborhood, or part of surrounding neighborhoods, that would add a "dynamic" feed to your home screen with activities of other athletes in your neighborhood. Similar to clubs, but (hyper?)local. I got this idea from nextdoor - being part of the main neighborhood where you live and seeing posts from there gives a feeling of community and helps you follow news or meet other members in the community, while the nearby neighborhood part of it gives you insight into the greater town/city.

I coach and referee Rugby, I record my activities and Strava shows them as a "run", it would be great if these were able to be classified as Rugby. There are a load of other team sports that really ought to be added too (football, hockey, etc etc).

Lier11 · ‎09-02-2022

Hi, it would be great to have a map that is covered with colors where there was a segment and a different color where no segment.

JohnnyBigoud · ‎09-01-2022

update from Strava: Hello and thank you all for your votes and comments on this suggestion. This has been implemented and you can now hide the start time as well as other details from your activities when they appear in other athletes’ feeds or when others view your activity. The full list is below: Heart rate Pace or speed Power Calories Start Time For more information and to learn how to activate this feature, please visit this link. Again, sincere thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. A long awaited feature, listed already several times in the previous community forum. I even had an interview with Strava staff in 2019 about this: hide start time. Why ? I do not like the idea to log my position on the internet, but I like segments and sharing with friends. Then the compromise to have the day and NOT the time of activities would be acceptable.

Hello. I frequently come across segments that have at-the-top placings activities with bad GPS data. In this category, we have two types of users: People who unintended end up being placed on the top placings; People who deliberately try to cheat. Regarding 1, I've seen this frequently if a person ends up starting/ending a segment after/before the start/end of the segment. Example: https://www.strava.com/segments/27533634 The first image is from the CR and the second image is for the second placing. This could be easily detected by Strava. Their “threshold” for detecting if the people started/ended the segment is too high. In regard to the cheaters, I found the following situations too frequently: Change their devices recording GPS points to be higher than 1 second, thus making straight lines (the shortest distance between two points is a straight line); They know the start and end positions of the segment, so they pause their device's recording before the start and after already entering the segment is when they start again the recording. They do the same for the ending, that is, pause the recording before the segment end and resume it some meters after the segment end. My suggestions would be: Only allow a segment to be valid if all the points from start to end of the segment happen at an interval of 1 second; Don't allow segments with wobbling GPS data; Only allow to count for segment if the device is collecting GPS data before and after the start and end points, that is, the recording should incorporate all the segment and not parts of the segment as now it is possible.

I know I submitted this in the old forum, can't find it here: Please add the ability to track mileage by year by bicycle. For those of us (most cyclists) with more than one bike, it helps us do maintainance at the right intervals, or helps us learn how long certain tires, chains, etc. last. Right now I can see total mileage per year for all bikes, or forever mileage for each bike. Need to see mileage per year per bike. Thanks.

Julien_Dion · ‎08-30-2022

Primarily for Club Group Ride (Cycling) It would be convenient to have a "maybe" option once a Ride or an event has been created. The only alternative to this day is "Join the event." This would benefit the group community as it would signal who will be joining a ride and who might also be interested in joining. I appreciate your consideration, Julien Dion

Andrea · ‎08-30-2022

Please can you add manual scooter to your pull down list of loggable activities. I scoot several miles a week for exercise and fun and would like to log them as a scoot instead of a ride, to differentiate from my bike rides. Thank you

raycrowley · ‎08-30-2022

It's been great to see the expansion of sport types in Strava over the years. How about adding BMX Racing? BMX Racing is UCI sanctioned, an Olympic disciple, and is growing in popularity globally!

DM17 · ‎08-29-2022

When I create a cycle route on the laptop - it would be fantastic if like the route of actual rides it could be viewed in full screen but at the moment this doesn't seem to be an option. Hopefully this basic improvement can be implemented soon
