Flagging on Strava

[Bicycle Supply Chain]

Hey All,

 

I really thought I would get someone to take my bait with my comments in this thread, but none did.

 

I am impressed with the Hubbers.

You suck.

[Wyatt Earp]

You Stravetheans should just have your own version of the Hunger Games and get it settled!

 

I don't think they will be able to get their arms around their egos.

[Wyatt Earp]

it's fantastic for intervals!

 

The one thing I detest the most in terms of training.

[Wyatt Earp]

First Rule of cycling improvement... do the things you hate the most.

 

I don't hate them , I detest intervals, it destroys more cyclists than it builds them up.

Nothing about cycling I don't enjoy to be honest.

I think Strava Flagging could become a new form of trolling for those who have become bored with regular Strava.

 

I know of someone who Strava'd a road segment in his car just to tick off the previous KOM. It was hilarious the comments flyiing back and forth

I did that by accident on Sunday. KOM on Conrad drive. Ride got flagged faster that my top speed in the car. I laughed. A lot!

Easy to check for BS... check the heartrate, if there isnt one then its BS

Then they must fight

I don't like them either, but I do like the improvements in my riding they offer.

 

For the cyclist on a time budget, they are almost the only option to get fast fast. For the Pro with all day to ride they can be avoided.

 

Don't get me wrong, I still like to ride my bike and look around, smell the roses and take photos, chat and sight see... but when it's time to get fit then the blinkers go on.

 

Not to try and sparkle a debate and nothing personal against what you said, but it is that exact mindset that has me saying I detest intervals.

That particular demographic all take the same approach and later on in bites them back and they suffer burnout.

One also needs to be honest to one self, if time is extremely limited, we need to also understand that the results will and should actually be a good reflection of that time.

Forget flagging, next time someone steals a KOM by a ridiculous margin, I'm using Digital EPO:

Or you will only be able to load directly from device and not from file?

Hahahaha... what is the world coming too

[SwissVan]

I don't strava, not for any particular sinister reason other than I have never bothered to register or consistently use my garmin E500.

 

However after a hubber posted requests for strava routes awhile back I started looking into it and found it very useful to check / spy for trails or routes in my area that I don't know about.

 

Now I just got to figure out how to download routes into my E500 so I can find and follow the trails....

Flagged is when someone tags your ride as illegitimate(almost wanna say illegal, but the anti-stravists will have a fit) and then strava removes it.

 

The function is there for ppl who forget their devices on while driving, or maybe the odd 1 or 2 that decide to be funny and go do a section in a car or motorbike.

 

I think Strava is awesome and it has helped me train a lot. I attack those hills nearly as hard as I would in a race, which is something I struggle to do on my own. It's also very cool for tracking your progress.

 

 

Thank you for helping us newbies with your answer ...
