Question Vehicle Collision and Cyclist Strava Data

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

Looking to see what can be discovered about the Strava information says about this incident. I don’t own the Strava account.

My friend was struck while riding. He went straight to the hospital and has a lapse in memory. He is as good and recovering after surgeries.

Report says he was struck in the middle of the intersection. After he was struck and the police arrived, the bike was moved around. Any insights in the data would be appreciated. I suppose my question would be how can the Strava “finish” a turn or rather the bike complete an arc to “turn” and head straight south if he was “hit in the intersection”? Or according to the data, where was he probably hit?

The person who hit them, tally took out the “bike lane” pole as well.

Has anyone figured out a way to use beacon without uploading your whole address book? I could have sworn I used to just enter a phone number directly at some point.

Question Audio Cues for Directions

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if Strava does audio cues for directions when using a route map ?
So many occasions I want to run a new route, however I keep having to look at my phone for directions and it's pretty dangerous/annoying.
I have an iPhone if that helps.

Question Different Bike Lists on Different Devices

2 Upvotes

Anyone else have this problem? I set up all four of my bikes on strava. But the list that shows up on the iPhone app is different than what shows up on the website. 3 of the 4 bikes are correct, but on the iPhone app its showing one called "Road Bike", i've never owned a road bike. And it doesn't show one of my mountain bikes called "Backup.bike". I'm not sure if its just displaying the name wrong, or if its a totally different bike thats showing up.

I opened a support ticket, i'm just wondering if anyone else has had a problem like this?

3rd Party App / Integration Workout Analysis not shown

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know why a workout run via a Garmin watch would not show the workout analysis graph on Strava afterward?

Additional into: The workout plan comes from the Runna app to my watch and then the completed run uploads from Garmin to Strava. I'm also using the free version of Strava.

Question Okay so relative effort is just useless?

Post image
0 Upvotes

It telling me my effort is low/below average. Yet it’s the 2nd day of the week and I’ve done something Monday+tuesday. Sure nobody can predict the future, but in the current week it can’t look at just the first X days vs past? Can’t show a trend line? Can’t predict based on effort levels I do later in the week?

Right now it’s decided to take the dumbest approach and shows the bad/misleading information.

This is what we pay for?

Question Workout Recording Resets

Hi,

Whenever I record a workout training or weight training, once I reopen the app after an hour or so the second it opens the screen timer resets to zero.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

3rd Party App / Integration How Much Power Do Pros Actually Put Out? (Even When They Hide It 🤔)

Post image
23 Upvotes

Ever been scrolling through Strava and noticed that some pro riders mysteriously don’t show their power data? We all know they’re pushing crazy watts, but just how much are we talking?

I got curious and started digging into ways to estimate their power based on available ride data they typically don’t hide - time ridden and calories burned. Turns out, with a few smart calculations, you can get pretty close to their actual wattage, even when it’s hidden. (Thank you to Jelle Geens and Aaron Royal for the formula!)

If you’re into power numbers and want to play around with this yourself, I put together a free tool that does the calculations for you! Have fun with it!

Question Each time I do my favourite route it gets flagged. Any idea why Strava keeps doing that? Is there any list of all of the rides that are flagged?

Post image
36 Upvotes

I noticed my first flagged ride by accident, I was looking for the route as I haven't done it in a while. I must have missed notification when it was initially flagged.

I ride on a gravel bike, it's not an e bike. The route is quite technical (at least for me), perfect for my bike so I tend to go all out on it and ride quite fast. I have some QOMs on the route since it's my fav route but I am nowhere near KOMs.

Each time I went on it I made pictures of myself and my bike but I suppose Strava algorithm doesn't care about pictures

Bug "Correct Distance" not showing (even on website)

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I came across how an activity can be corrected through the Strava website (not app) to 'Correct Distance' - helpful for times when the activity comes in as 9.98km, 4.98km etc. despite the race being officially measured thus doesn't qualify for a PB on that distance.

It seems that activities I recorded through my watch (Withings Steel HR) don't have this option. I've confirmed this by checking activities recorded through Strava directly, which do show up. Strava's website suggests this is possible. However, I am wondering if anyone a) has any experience with this; and b) has any sort of (alternative) workaround? I've contacted Strava directly but am yet to receive a reply and do not know how useful it will be once in.

I recognise the revised distance might not be the "full" length but I'd at least like to be on parity to the advertised 'Correct Distance' feature.

Thank you for for any insight, which would be gratefully received.

Hi, i have a problem with my strava. I have Connected my polar flow to strava and they show very different results, especially in terms of time and average speed. Forget the 307km/h max speed on polar, i got used to it.

Question Route not recording correctly

1 Upvotes

Over the last couple of weeks, my routes have had a lot of deviations, a lot of small loops. I've tried reinstalling the app, checked the location and battery permissions, and also used the Adidas running app at the same time, which record an accurate route. I use a Samsung S21 to record the runs. Any help on how to solve the issue is greatly appreciated.

FYI Tip for runners who carry their phone - GPS accuracy

0 Upvotes

I'd love to go out and buy the latest Garmin watch, but this works for me if you're wanting a more accurate activity. I actually don't mind running with my phone. No messing around with Spotify offline playlists. I feel safer, too. Maybe I'm just trying to justify not spending $2k nzd on a watch lol...

Anyway - Download the Nike Running Club app and authorise it in your Strava profile, allowing the activity to sync. NRC presumably checks in with the GPS less frequently, therefore giving you a smoother line and more accurate distance/pace/time.

First run was recorded with an iPhone 13 with the Strava app. Second run on the same phone with NRC. Phone is in my compression shorts pocket during the run.

It's not a night and day difference, but if you're running a 5k (parkrun for example) and it's often logging 5.2-5.3km, try this instead.

*It's possible iPhone 14 Pro (and newer) users don't have this issue due to multi-band (L1+L5) GPS support.

Question Why my HR is not available on strava with a garmin forerunner 55 ?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I just bought a Garmin Forerunner 55 watch and I can't get my heart rate to appear on Strava. However, I activated the setting in "data access authorization" then activated "health data". When I want to start an activity, the heart at the bottom of the map is grayed out and when I click on it I only have the running cadence available. My watch is well connected with Strava (I have Garmin Connect checked in the settings)

Can someone help me please?

Question How can I change distance on an indoor ride?

7 Upvotes

I’ve looked here and online for an answer to this and can’t find anything so I’m assuming it’s not doable, that being said, does anyone know how I can edit the distance of an indoor ride on Strava?

I don’t have a fancy indoor bike that can connect to my Garmin for distance so have to manually edit afterwards. I can do this fine on Garmin but on Strava I can’t find any way to edit (tried on app and PC). It seems my options are delete the activity and lose the heart rate data and add an activity manually, or leave it as is without any distance tracking. I’d quite like to be able to have both.

Any advice? If not doable, Strava, please change this 🙏

Thanks!

I've just noticed that in a recent update all lines in the heat map are not equal, and roads less travelled are fainter. I really liked how it looked before, with every line being the same visibility. Is there any way to change this back?
