I work at a cycling company and do not want colleagues in my Strava circle for that reason. If they introduce "specific hours" or "Hide activities for certain riders", then my network will grow by at least triple the size.

They need to make the privacy settings dependent on type of exercise. I don’t want my gym sessions public and no one cares - enable us to just make gym or any other specific exercise automatically go private while say something like running can stay public

The workout should then be pushed and sync to local device to be used onto your preferred platform, like Suunto, Garmin or Yahoo for example. Perhaps something that is customizable depending what your goals are etc.

Kind of funny that the CEO calls Strava out on Dark Mode, which is nice and all that, but really - How long have people been asking for Strava to fix the Leaderboards. There is not one popular segment near me that doesn't have obvious problems. And not just with KOMs. That was one of the main reasons I dropped Strava. Well that and the inability to compare/race against age groups other than your actual age group. It became obvious when I turned 70 and pretty much had the fastest time on every segment for my age group, not because I am so fast but there just are not many over-70s on Strava. And just racing against all ages, that is only fun if you want to always lose. I doubt they will change that for me but if they really fix the leaderboards, I'll come back.

how about mimicking the same type of run/bike thats being imported from garmin? ie if its interval it should be shown as an interval and not just a single run.

Really wish I wouldn’t have to tag my commute. It would be nice that after tagging the exact same route like 3 times as a commute it would just list it as a commute from that point on.

How this took so long for them to acknowledge let alone implement is mind boggling.

Strava’s new trick for price increase > Straight up-play for sympathy

hi DC rainmaker, I think Strava hears your voice more then mine. That's why I would like you to ask them to add a new running sport. I do canicross (running attached to a dog that pulls you forward) Today I don't have an option to chose a special sport for this so my canicross runs are in the normals running sport. Ive stopped to put any of my canicross runs public because I've got flagged for cheating more then once, while I don't have a real option to choose the right sport, normal running is today the best option in all the sports to categorise my canicrossruns, because I do run at that moment (be it "supported"). Im just an average runner, when I run without my dogs, I run 5min/km. So I never get to the alltime bests in segments. But in canicross, I run under 4min/km (trough the woods, so not even on straight roads) (sometimes even under 3:20/km on fast routes). So it is a huge difference. So with canicross, in the past (when my settings were to have all just public), I've managed to get first spots in some segments. Which isn't fair since it is a different (faster) sport than normal running.... But today I don't have a choice to put it under normal running, and I'm forced to leave them all private if I don't want to cheat the leaderboards.... And the sport is more and more popular. So the problems with canicrossers messing up leaderboards in the running segment will only get more frequent. Since all of them now have no other option than to do it under normal running..... Oh, and this sport is also done with a bike (being pulled by a dog while mountainbike trough the woods)... They could set it under e-bike, but that's still also not really the same thing.

Crawling* not a single one of these features is impressive.

1. Sort shoes alphabetically on mobile. 2. Use stopwatch time on non-GPS (mill, trainer, pool). Now, it calculates like race mode (at least with myPolar). 3. Allow advertising for races to local athletes. I’d rather give my $ here than to Zuck. Easier, I think, to target than Meta.

I always hit mute activity on all short warm ups or cool downs. Then if someone is on your profile they can see them and they don't clog peoples feeds. Also people should know how to delete mistakes and crop KOM's gotten with your car. So annoying. My other gripe for years now is bring back live segments for downhills! Get rid of the ones that have stop signs or lights but let us use this feature on long downhills and especially on dirt descents! They truly are great training aids for serious riders.

Cancelled strava when they trippled prices never looked back.

The feature to flag dubious activities is finally a thing? I can't believe that they took so long to implement this feature. I mean, they don't need AI to do the job for them, just get to know all of the world records (they're not that many and I know most of them from the top of my head) and flag any activity that does break them. This is so easy that I can't believe that it wasn't implemented before. I've been preaching for this for so long, I'm tired of flagging activities of people that run or cycle faster than cars, wtf.

The one thing I want, a million times over - BRING BACK STREET VIEW ON ROUTING!

My number one missing feature is the lack of native support for sensors. They only allow heart rate sensors.

The world is healing

They should fix the route builder feature on the phone. Got so much worse since the last update in March. The proposed routes are useless, not matching the selected options, or simply, not finding any routes around me. Before I was always finding a new/nice rout to ride/run.
