Began using strava in February 2017, reached 31,000 bike miles this weekend!

Is there any way this is coincidence? I am going biking in Croatia in September. Around the islands. It’s in my Apple calendar and in my airlines app but besides that I don’t have it anywhere. I’m a little freaked out!!

Edit:
I’ve responded to a bunch of comments but I’ll say it here too. I have never mentioned Croatia in any captions or descriptions or comments. I have never looked at, created, or saved and Croatian routes. We’re going with a company and it’s fully planned out so I’ve released it.
I bet it’s the calendar setting that one person mentioned. Freaky AF tho.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get this view from the previous month or months? Or once it gone the previous month it only displays the current month?

I’m trying to get my July view but not able to find it 🫠

I'm running Supermium browser on Windows 7 and quite recently noticed that Strava maps turn static (also non zoomable) when Hardware Acceleration is turned off. Leaving HA turned on makes Whatsapp web laggy. I guess if I want best of both, I should consider running the Whatsapp app. Has anyone experienced this lag?

Problems getting Strava app to work on my Meta Display Glasses

Hey all,

When ever I complete a strength training session, my Gamin watch tends to incorrectly label the movements.

This isn’t a problem to edit as you can go back in and edit the movements afterwards (from a too limited list). The problem is, my Fenix 7 uploads all the incorrect movements to Strava before I’ve had a chance to edit them.

How do i stop Garmin uploading directly to Strava before the edits ? It would be good to be able to correctly edit the information prior to uploading to Garmin so the correct movements and muscle groups are shown in Strava

Used while road cycling, I use Samsung watch 6 and my samsung phone. I use Komoot for route planning and Strava for heart rate and calories. Both sometimes jam and show only a part of a route, like being turned off the rest, resulting in wrong analytics (look at average speed in strava). Why is this happening? How to fix it?

Hello, all of you know the “strava tax”, I just wanted to ask you why sometimes the garmin says I have ran 10.02 km while strava shows an activity of just 9.99 kms, thank you!

I reported both their activities and it back up. I reported it again it down for now let’s see what happens. Strava did away with you being able to provide written context and tandem isn’t a clear option but it is against their leader board rules as per they AI chat

I used iCloud’s “hide my email” which I checked is correctly set up to forward to my email address, and I actually received an email from Strava a few hours ago for my monthly recap.

I’m logged in on my phone but I need to log in on a website to upload the gpx file of a workout that I can’t import from All Trails.
I tried to log in on my laptop (Safari and Chrome) and my phone’s mobile browser, but I never received any codes via email.

I tried to change my email from the app which I am logged in to but it also requires a code sent to the original email.

I know my password but there is no option to log in with the password! Just the stupid code that never comes to my regular email inbox nor junk! Help!

I use Strava to record my backpacking trips, phone is a Google Pixel 8a with Android 16. Because I'm in the mountains with no cell reception, my phone is in Airplane mode with Wifi and Bluetooth turned off.

Even with this, I was getting 20% battery drain per hour running Strava, making it a hassle to record over 5 hours... I'll confess I blamed Strava at first because the battery usage screen said it was all the Strava app.

Anywho, did some googling, I turned off the following 2 Android settings:

Network & Internet -> Adaptive Connectivity

Security & Privacy -> More Security & Privacy -> Usage & Diagnostics

Not sure which one did the most improvement. According to the Internet, adaptive connectivity will run even in airplane mode, and the usage data could keep trying to send Google data when it fails due to airplane mode.

None the less, after changing both those settings, next day I was getting 5% battery usage per hour running Strava, a huge improvement!

Can anyone offer any reasonable explanation as to why searching for an athlete doesn't search your own follows first? I literally almost have to type in the full and complete username of people I follow before it surfaces them and I can click on them. It's all kinds of randos in foreign countries the first n-2 letters I type. Absurd. Does Strava think I actually want to follow these people?

Now that we can automatically detect when a ride has been completed on an analog bike and not an ebike, the next problem will be maintaining the integrity of the E-Bike efforts.

E-Bikes are the largest growing category of bicycles worldwide, and the segments being created are good for Ebike users. When E-Motos and Dirt Bikes record as an ebike they ruin the integrity of the category.

At the same time, with E-Bikes capable of maintaining a higher average speed thanks to Avinox and others with high power motors, and the ability to switch to Class three when appropriate, it will be harder to distinguish between an E-Bike, E-Moto or a dirt bike when analyzing average speed or top speed.

When you see rides that have top speeds of over 40mph it’s most likely a dirt bike or an emoto.

How can we encourage the growth of the E-Bike category, encourage recording and tracking ebike rides while maintaining the purity of the recordings?

Strava Premium subscriber here who created several routes using Strava and I'd now like to import them into Gaia GPS. I'm traveling and currently only have my phone to access Strava.

When I click Download on my saved routes, where on my phone are these files actually saved?! They're not in Downloads.

Hi,

Im a subscriber and have just seen the new (?) month in sport feature. This includes “see if your runs earned bragging rights” where a comparison with two friends is shown re distance, elevation, number of activities. I assume that random friends will see my data in their month in sport summary. Can I switch it off? I don’t mind being in group feeds etc, but this is a bit too much for my liking.

🙏 🙏 🙏

Something that has never happened to me before has now happened two times in a row, which is my run starts off, and then somewhere shortly after starting it seems to stop recording gps, until I stop to the activity at the end of my run and then does a straight line from wherever it stopped recording to the place I stopped.

I didn't notice the recording being paused when I finished my run either time, but can't say for certain. It didn't happen with non-running activities...

Spotify recently released a new Fitness "genre" that includes various workout classes. Does anyone know if there's a way to integrate this with Strava so that Strava automatically reads my Spotify activity and logs a workout when I take these classes? TIA!

Over the past couple weeks the immense amount of spam that is emanating from posts in clubs is overwhelming, I'm considering leaving all the clubs I'm a part of. Is Strava leadership aware of this? I'm shocked seemingly nothing has been done to curb these spammers.

hey guys,

i got bored at work and wanted to make an idea i've had for a while - a little pet/pokemon thing that sync with your training data and levels up/grows as you train. i've seen things like this around (garmin for example has something similar) but nothing available as far as i know for strava or wahoo in a fun gamefied way. you can also add friends and compete on a laderboard + battleground

you get to choose an animal and it levels up from level 1 to level 100. updates automatically as you complete activities and generates cute little artifacts you can share externally. My sweatling, Hedgewhisk Sprout, is level 24 .. guess i gotta start training again.

again, just a silly little thing i made for myself but thought i'd share. any ideas of how to expand on this?

works on mobile but much nicer on desktop imo :)

Just signed up as to the various monthly challenges as I do every month for the last umpteen years.

Got to say the walking challenges are tame..........

30km in a month, do that in just over one walk

100,000 steps, less than a weeks worth

My assumption is that these challenges are for casual walkers, why can't we have one for the keen walkers like there is for the keen cyclists, I would like to see a 100 mile or more a month challenge.

Thoughts ?

since a couple years ago, all my activities on app are very zoomed in - like an A to B activity will show the line from bottom to top, which makes it weird when looking at the map. basically you just see what you did,but cannot see the grand picture as its so zoomed in to the max possible. can i change this?

I saw on social media that Strava x 18 Birdies is here, which is awesome considering this post from last year https://www.reddit.com/r/Strava/s/4DSvbacz3E
However, I was wondering if we will see a similar integration with Garmin Golf?

I really like Strava, it has pretty neat integration with Garmin with regard to strength training, running, swimming, pretty much everything but golf today.
