Could explain the local segment with someone doing 1300km/h and also my local segment that I've done flat out 3 times to get 1s off the leader, same time over three rides. I guess my GPS accuracy is limited (it's only a phone after all)toolonglegs wrote:http://veloviewer is broken/blog/41mph-the-ev ... s-article/

Not sure why Strava has leaderboards if the data is so bad, looks like its only really applicable to yourself and your own equipment.

Amen to the reasoned article and nothing but abuse for the newspaper putting out such a load of rubbish.toolonglegs wrote:http://veloviewer is broken/blog/41mph-the-ev ... s-article/

I don't think the data is that bad for the longer segments. It's good fun to compare your times to your previous rides and to those of others. It really is harmless fun.Nobody wrote:As one of the comments at the bottom of the article listed above said:Not sure why Strava has leaderboards if the data is so bad, looks like its only really applicable to yourself and your own equipment.
You should get those old Nobody racing pistons out and have a crack, short cranks and all

I'll leave the downhill segments for the insane people. I'm not game enough to do 80km/h+ down hill.

Not where I ride, which is mainly shared paths. I don't need any further encouragement as I probably already go faster than most peds would like. Besides, I'm trying to outgrow the "gotta be the fastest" thing. I'll leave it to the young or those trying to relive their youth.warthog1 wrote:It really is harmless fun.

No chance of me being fastest here, but I like to see how I'm going and still like a challenge even though I'm a never was

ASADA - see, it even lends itself to a serious sounding acronym.biker jk wrote:The comments section of the article mentioned digitalepo.com which allows you to alter the gpx file and increase your speed! The next comment suggested the formation of SADA (Strava Anti-Doping Agency).

Did anyone try it to see if it works?.. not much good to us phone users.
Serious question though... can we phone users actually download our ride data and save it off line somewhere?.
