." I want the lightest most expensive bike I can find"
Me: Why do you want that?
" Cause My buddy has one"
"Me: What kind of riding you want to do?
"I don't know"
Me: what style of riding does your buddy do?
"I don't know but he said he spent $7 grand on his bike
Me: will that be cash or charge?
part of me wishes these toolboxes would go back to golf, but at the same time they are putting a lot of money into the bike industryI agree with him, try working in a bike shop

i'm pissed. google my tracks is going to be deprecated at the end of the month, and i need a replacement. when i found this out i *almost* considered installing strava for like a second.Sounds like he needs to some peanut butter to go with all that jelly. Just cause he isn't among the elite ranks of us KOM holders doesn't mean Strava isn't a valuable tool. Granted I like it cause well, I'm an enginerd and it gives me fun data, not because of trying to set speed records and stuffs.
So you want Strava... You can choose to ignore all the KOM baggage that other people choose to carry.i'm pissed. google my tracks is going to be deprecated at the end of the month, and i need a replacement. when i found this out i *almost* considered installing strava for like a second.
i just need something that uses GPS to map a route, speed, distance, etc. basic metrics like that.
can i just set it to private? is there a way to block the KOM nonsense?So you want Strava... You can choose to ignore all the KOM baggage that other people choose to carry.
Why bother? It's not intrusive in the least. You can choose to ignore KOMs.can i just set it to private? is there a way to block the KOM nonsense?
MUST BE NICE. I am happy when I'm in the top half of a segment's rankings. I've got lots of CR's on runs though.elite ranks of us KOM holders
It reminds people who suck at riding that they suck at riding. That and some people take it way too seriously.why so much hate for strava?
This. People need to turn their shit off when riding the good trails...Strava tracks show up on their "heat map" whether or not you publicly share the info. So illegal trails show up, which can be a problem- especially now that land managers are onto this fact..

Well FML, I thought if you used the "private" function it kept your data out of the heat map data set. Duly noted.Strava tracks show up on their "heat map" whether or not you publicly share the info. So illegal trails show up, which can be a problem- especially now that land managers are onto this fact.

I use Strava pretty routinely. It's a nice tool for logging miles, and seeing my own personal improvement. Sometimes I find it motivating, like when my brother is out running every other day and I'm slumming it out on the couch for a week, or MMikes been out riding and I haven't. I use it for both runs and biking. I've even used it a couple times to find new trail, or routes, for both running and riding. I'm not fast or particularity all that talented at either sport, and that's okay. It really has no bearing on how I feel about a ride, or a run, it doesn't hurt my feelers when some douche I've never met has a 50% faster time on some segment I've been on. It doesn't effect my life. A KOM doesn't solve world hunger, or cure AIDS. Who gives a fuck, really? If Strava is keeping you up at night, and is causing you that much stress, see a fucking shrink and get your priorities in order. Jesus.......
Don't cross the threads!
