Hi, whenever I use my Indoor mode on Garmin Edge 540, my rides import to Strava as standard Rides, not marked as Virtual in any way. 

Can we have a fix for this or at least give us the option to choose it in the drop-down? 
 

Thank you!

An indoor ride should be uploaded as ride with the “indoor cycling” tag. If this tag is missing you can set it in the browser, not in the app.

A virtual ride is an upload from something like MyWhoosh or Zwift, because it contains a virtual gps track. You can’t set this activity type by yourself.

Ah thank you so much for the clarification and the tip, I’d forgotten the web browser version existed haha.

Can we expect to receive this functionality in the app?

Appreciate your instant reply.
