What's Wrong With Strava? #shorts #cyclingpodcast #cyclinglife

Some of the worst thing in cycling in 2022

What is wrong with Stava

[alexm]

I use it to track my workouts, not as a social platform. It’s a fitness journal for me and I love it

“if it ain’t on Strava, it never happened”

[adamgurule]

I've met some amazing people on Strava, It's fun and it helps build our cycling community.

[ridinginryde]

I use it purely to track my rides, to monitor the battery range on my e-bike, as well as to compare travel time by bike (vs car and other modes of transport)

You get what you put into it. If you just follow random people and never connect with anyone it’s going to suck. Give people encouragement and they’ll return it to you and you might find yourself motivated to do more.

I love Strava, the routing feature is sick with the 3d maps you can preview climbs and terrain before you find new rides. Busy schedules getting in the way of racing so snagging cheeky local KOM’s gives me the kick I need here and there, but also the banter between mates and other club members is great, I guess it depends on which level of cyclist you are and your social group as to how much you utilise the app 🤷🏽‍♂️

Strava is awesome, but honestly? The platform is doing a fraction of what it could be doing. That being said, if a ride that I do isn’t automatically uploaded, I throw a hissy fit.

Think of the rides you have gone on.. how much data is there. Strava could do a ton more to provide insight to your riding. Better at finding local riders and clubs.

[HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

Strava is fantastic to use it as a social app.
I love Strava because it actually proves that I was the first person ever used structured training with intervals in cycling..

So for me, Strava is the best thing in the world.. Maybe you don't like it because you don't know how to use it.

Strava is dead. Improved nothing. Features that were free you now have to pay. So many cheating/fake koms. Jealousy is unreal aswell.

[lachlan_bakewell]

Strava is a great tool. Track your hours each week, elevation, distance. Look at others people's training for motivation. Look back over years or data for a particular course. Also great for other sports like kayaking, rowing and running where results stay consistent for years. It's definitely no t good as a social media platform though.

[s-e-z-o]

Who tf uses Strava for the social media aspect? It’s to track progress

[DancingMachine]

Well these guys are wannabe influencers who look at everything wondering how it could generate money longterm. Strava is just a social network and a tool to analyze and collect your data. I mean whats the problem?

[messi]

They say while spending how much on TP, gels, supplements, etc.? There's also a free version and it doesn't take any effort to "upload", it is synced automatically. So especially this part about uploading seems off.

[joshbull]

I use it for myself and an easy way for coach to check in on me.

[neilmckenna]

Chris, you know i was watching this when you released the video the other day and thought 'why am i actually subscribed to strava!' Finished the video and cancelled my subscription 👍

[DrumWild]

Strava allows me to get tough with my ultimate competition... myself.

[RestlessGambler]

I used it to track mileage and create routes.

[Ellifiknow]

Strava is too busy being woke to be concerned about the quality of their product.

[uknowbass]

They need to delete all KOM’s/QOM’s every 90 days to encourage use

[oscarmckean]

and now u have to pay for strava wrapped. absolute fraud
