Segment Privacy

ok, but the times on the segments remain visible to the followers. I propose to make them private. I propose we can hide them like other stats (power, heart rate)

I'm curious why others shouldn't see the segment times. Is that some kind of pressure or more competition than desired?

On another node it would be necessary to hide the analysis area on the Strava web site for others too else they could see the segment times from there.

Exact. Some feel pressured and judged for their times on the scores and prefer to abandon Strava.

Simple solution: have separate controls for activities and segments

activity: private/followers/public

segments+ local hero: private/followers/public

This fix also solves another problem.  Many users want their activities on segments public without making their activity public.  For personal safety, setting activities to public is not advisable, since the entire non-excluded route is provided with time of day, allowing any Strava user to stalk a victim on their regular route.  Public leaderboards for segments and local legends would not show a full route and only provide the date of the achievement, which is less useful to stalkers and other miscreants. 

What if I want to make a track (and segments) on my own private land that others can't see (since I don't want people coming here to our home to ride a segment they saw on Strava).  If I set to public segment, and then only followers for my activities, why can't these segments only be visible to those followers - for my own privacy?  Thanks!  iijj
