Hi, When searching the activities of a profile, I think it’s a good idea to add a filter of gear. That way, I can have quickly see which races I have performed with each pair of shoes. Currently, that option is not available. In the attached image you can see the available filters. Thank you. ... View more

Strava needs to incorporate cadence reporting for running and it also needs more options other than full or half km for interval coaching or tracking. 250 meter would be helpful for those trying to track cadence  ... View more

Posting my idea here following the recommendation of @Scout on my initial thread in the Club Hub 🙂  We would like to push our members to participate in our weekly club rides. This could be done through several ways:  - Display "club event participation" leaderboards - Show past club events with list of participants and their activity details (if public) - Create a label "active club member" when participating in more than X events in the past X weeks ? ...

If instead you "score" the popularity of a road based on "relative" popularity (i.e., correct for road popularity in a 5km radius), the automatic planner might avoid super busy urban areas! I really like the popularity routing feature ("follow most popular" in desktop, I assume it's switched on by default in the mobile version). It allows me to get from point A to B using safe and nice roads.  I'm curious how this feature technically works, but I guess some of this is your companies secret, which is fine! I bet pieces of road are given a value given how many Strava users cycled on those roads (also visible in the "global heatmap"). A bunch of relatively short routes between point A and B are then compared based on the summed value of the pieces of road it uses. (I'm assuming it works this way!) If I'm right, then I might have a nice suggestion. When I plan a long segment that crosses a couple of urban areas, sometimes it's much nicer to have a 10% longer route that actually goes around those urban areas (safer, more quiet, etc.). However, the "baseline popularity" of the roads in these urban areas will be relatively high; not because people like cycling there, but because they start and end their rides there.    ...

Suggestion: offer filtering of what historic route types and speed is used to inform "popular" - allowing users to select "popular with cycling" or "popular with running" only, and ideally "minimum / maximum speed of XX kmph for the path" This would reduce many issues with suggested routes directing users down roads that are actually inappropriate, and where known / statistically identifiable journey types have significantly different routing requirements (e.g. cycling rides will typically be longer, higher average speeds etc.)  Problem: Within Build a Route - the "follow most popular" pathing does not have different data for Running / Walking vs Cycling. Most Popular is often not the most appropriate route.  Plotting a Road Cycling route will direct a cyclist down a very popular path, popular because it is used by runners/walkers - i.e. inappropriate for cycling, creating unreliable route suggestions at best, or routes with more cycling/pedestrian conflicts, or illegal (pedestrian only) or even dangerous route suggestions (high-speed road).  Popular but with much slower average user speeds might also not meet the road-cyclist's aims vs a nearby alternative - where better fine-grain suggestions would help immensely with routing.    ...

This would work similarly to segments, as in user created and have leaderboards. The “speed trap” would measure users speed through a fixed point and have a leaderboard for who was going the fastest. The “speed traps would also show up on the map like segments.  for those concerned about safety the speed traps could only be on flat or uphills. ... View more

Hey, like almost all my rides are on a velodrome and a track bike...can we get track bikes in the gear please? You catered to gravel, cross, road....where are the adult bikes? hmmmmm? No really, what's the problem and why isn't that there? Pretty simple sql insert to a table....right? Because this is a track bike...not a road bike... https://www.strava.com/activities/7622761003  ... View more

On a few of the segments I ride regularly, a cyclist who is currently the Local Legend of said segments will ride the segment 2 or 3 times one or two days a week.  I don't know this for sure, but presumably this is to maintain his L.L. status.  If it were a steep hill, I could understand it, but it is pancake flat.  Yes, I am right behind him in completions.  Rather than compete with this person by doing more reps of the particular segments, I would much prefer riding a longer, more interesting route.   If the idea is to reward consistency in riding vs speed (KOM), Wouldn't it be more valuable to ride 5 days a week vs 1 or 2?  A solution would be to only give 1 credit per day for completing  a segment.  That would provide incentive to get out and ride more days of the week. Thanks for listening. Chuck ... View more

It would be nice to display total number of 10k’s, 30k’s, HM’s and FM’s runs that have been recorded in strava by an individual runner,  in “All-Time” under “My Stats”. Similarly we can have total number of 20k, 50k and 100k rides for cyclists.  ... View more

There is no activity type race/ speed cycling/ biking. Only Biking (Dutch: Fietsrit), Moantainbiking etc. For more accurate goals and other data it would be very helpful to make a difference between roadbiking and ‘normal’ biking. Where ‘normal’ could be your commute or ride with family.  ... View more

Hello strava community, just made my account cause i've got a minimal problem. So every time i do a race i enter the "Edit activity => Type of ride" and select race, now i want to look at all the races i've done in the past but i've realised that there is not any way (atleast from what i know) for me to filter the 'Race' tagged activities from my other activities. ...

Sometimes it's boring to get notifications for each new comment on a specific post or activity you made a comment :  "Random Joe and 12 others commented on a post you commented" Sometimes you have to comment to enter a contest or you made a comment on a pro athlete activity and you get a tons of unwanted notifications for each new comment... ...

It'd be great see the Pixel Fold and other foldable Android phones be supported in full-screen mode. There's lots of screen space to flex Strava UX for reviewing maps, photos and the feed in general. The current app version doesn't look so great on foldables. This screenshot is from my PixelFold ... View more

I accidentally discovered that I was in the top ten in several hidden segments today. But you have to open each hidden segment to find out! Why is there not a cup or a crown next to them like normal segments? And when you unhide them why are they not seen by others viewing your activity? Makes no sense. ... View more

When I click into an athlete I can see year to date and then all time runs and distance. It would be nice to know over how many years this is so some form of “since/joined date” context or the ability to see it broken up by year history.  ... View more

Proposing a method to flag questionable results, allowing the record holder to correct, retract, or acknowledge the ranking based on honor system. Would need a button or menu item on leaderboard rankings to say “this looks questionable” Show a “?” badge next to the ranking if the athlete doesn’t respond. Maybe only if it’s questioned by more than one other person to prevent spamming, or possibly consider removal of the record beyond a given number of questions without a response. Notify the record holder that there is a question, and allow them to correct or confirm it. Usually it’s a case of changing the wrong activity type. ... View more

Being able to see what a segment looks like is possible for road cycling with google street view/maps. However for offroad and gravel and downhill not so much and it would be great to use ride images uploaded on strava and link them to specific segments (which might be better now that I think about it). Then there's a button to view within each segment when you're looking at it. Just like seeing the LB for each segment. or alternatively have a specific hashtag, #Strava32894738402 or #Strava(nameofsegment) that people can tag into their instagram and have a link for people to view there. It might actually encourage people to do climbs if they see what they're like and what the scenery is like. ... View more
