It'd be quite simple for them to take the median (or whatever) speed of a segment and automatically flag anyone who goes three times faster.

The segment system doesn't seem to have changed at all in the 5+ years I've been using it, so presumably it's held together by duct tape and twine and the ghosts of long gone employees and no one dares touch it.

Also consider the sheer quantity of 'feedback' they'd receive from People Who Care About Segments if they tweaked the algorithm in any way that affected the results.

Any worthwhile new functionality along with the new edition Strava app?

Search function that means I can find a ride I did years ago without having to scroll back in time.

I think that's called VeloViewer...

That's easy their response to everything is "we're a start up and..."

I found that getting any kind of response was difficult.

Seems quite slick at going through previous rides and route collection. Might be better if I hadn’t left 99% of my rides called “morning ride”

I managed a rare afternoon ride today, started at 1757.

I’d prefer it, if I could just pull up rides from certain dates.  I like to compare similar rides a year apart to see how my averages are holding up (or not)

You can in the new app. When you click on search by title or description it then allows filtering by date, distance, time, elevation. Unfortunately the filtering by distance facility does not consider the long distance community.

You can do that in Calendar View on the web version.

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon... probably we all did.

I had a moment of realisation this morning - it occurred to me that I should move my Strava bookmark in Safari from the 'fitness' folder to the 'social' folder, because that's where I instinctively go to look for it.

Anyone know how to get round this, please?:

Strava won't show me anything except "Strava Free App for Android and iPhone... DOWNLOAD", which I can't remove.

(Attempting to download the [unwanted] app doesn't work anyway)

My life is suspended until this is sorted out!!

Assuming you’re on the website, the Log In button is hidden behind the three horizontal lines icon.

Many thanks, grams!

I'd tried that icon, but it seemed to lead to an unresponsive page. With your encouragement, I tried the "search" on that page, and it did get me back to the normal options.

Apparently, I am now the "local legend" on "Butlers bottom" and "Up the bog hole". I'm sure this is something to be proud of.

I like the new privacy update. Can now see what parts of my rides others can and cannot see and exclude certain data from view.

It seems that Strava Beacon is now available for anyone to use whether a paid up member or a cheapskate like me: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/224357527-Strava-Beacon
