Disagree - you can get lots of great info from Strava without sharing or looking at other's rides. I happen to choose to do both and enjoy the extra motivation it provides.toolonglegs wrote:Strava is just a facebook for cyclists... nothing more.

This should now show you a list of your rides.
Click in the check box for each ride and click on the Strava button.
You will then be prompted for your Strava user name and password.
You activities will now be in Strava.
I've done that a couple of times and each time it's shown up on the bryton website as 'uploaded successfully' but then when i go to strava, nothing. I'm getting much quicker at loading them to bryton, saving to computer then loading to strava so i'm not bothered. Especially now that i've managed a 2nd on a segment, any amount of hassle is worth it .

Yeah ... dunno if I'd go that far. I think its definitely more than just a social app. I don't really use the social aspect of it and the premium features are certainly more orientated towards analysis than the social aspect.toolonglegs wrote:Strava is just a facebook for cyclists... nothing more.
Having a mac and looking at what training software is out there there would seem to be a niche for an app that has moderate level analysis, general tracking and a good looking user interface. Strava is very close to that with the exception of zone setting - If Strava allowed me to set my own HR zones I'd happily pay premium and it would fulfill all my training analysis needs (at the moment). It's definitely not a prosumer analysis tool but I'd argue that for the general cycling populous who are "semi-serious" about their training it would fit the bill.
The comparison/social stuff is a nice to have for me. It gives me a general benchmark of where I sit within the population that ride my routes but it gets taken with a big pinch of salt and at the moment I don't feel the need to try to smash segments or crush people - although that may change when my capability to crush or C2Cmax (tm) increases .

Also a super way to find good riding areas in a new region. On my last holiday in Spain all my rides were based of strava loops ( and beating KOM's of course! ).
I don't even have a speedo on my handle bars but no one could say I am not serious with my training, if I bothered with a power meter again then Golden Cheetah would do just fine and it is free. Strava doesn't have much ability to look at files closely like WKO+ or Golden Cheetah. HR I will never bother with .
So for me it is the ultimate Cycling Facebook ... although I had a Strava staff member on one of my Tour de France trips and I told him that... he wasn't so impressed... very serious American .

I also like the filter on segments, it's always good to filter the high profile KOM's to the top.

I did a standard loop this morning that Strava always calculates as 49.3-49.4 km in length. Today Strava reckons that it was 53.8km. The only thing that was different was I stopped to have a chat with a mate for about 15-20min. This also happened to be in the middle of a segment. This has happened once before when I stopped to fix a flat mid segment. Is this a known Strava glitch or is it something else?

i've never tried but they're just text files in a set format. you can supposedly edit them - strava has a ride edit function.singlespeedscott wrote: How do you edit your rides or get Strava to recalculate the whole ride?
look at the map trace - has it altered your route?singlespeedscott wrote:I did a standard loop this morning that Strava always calculates as 49.3-49.4 km in length. Today Strava reckons that it was 53.8km.

I can only give you 1 Kudos on Strava, but there would be plenty more if I could.
Also, a NPCCI of 81! jaysus!
