If you think that is a silly name check this out. I refuse to attempt it as I don't want to be KOM of it.
One of my namings. http://app.strava.com/segments/2183707

Actually took the KOM on 'tw@ttin' it past the tennis courts' on the way home from work tonight!
Not only did I have to slow for a van midway through, but the reason the van had to slow was for two of my club mates up the road! Needless to say I blasted past them with a shout and a wave... I'm sure they'll understand why I didn't slow for a chat!

Just been out with the club for an evening ride up through Mellor. Cat 3 climb according to Strava. Even if you think competing against other folks is a bit daft, seeing your progress is ace 
I was 1 min faster up the climb than when I did it a few months ago! Very satisfying seeing it in Strava

Haha, I definitely need to be more imaginitive with my segment names from now on!I had much more satisfaction getting my KOM on this one though.
I took a new route into work this morning. Obviously I won't know until I upload it tonight, but after a quick browse on the site, I don't actually think I hit ANY segments on the way, apart from the one that's impossible at the moment due to temporary traffic lights
NO SEGMENTS??! How is this possible?!

According to Stravaviewer, I've picked up a new KOM this week and I didn't even have to get out of bed to win it - it's a new segment that someone's created that I just happened to set the fastest time on back in June. 
Of course, now it's a segment, someone is bound to target it - I've only got 2secs on the second place man, so I expect to lose it very soon. Oh well, easy come, easy go.
I've also got two new third places on newly created segments. One of them looks gettable but has two sets of traffic lights on it...

Now i'll have to try on this segment :PLevel with you on 'Bedford Hill (just the Climb)' now! Not working today, rode a couple of laps round Richmond Park and thought I'd have a crack at it on the way home!

Got a 2nd place on a segment the other week after it was suggested to me by 400bhp that I might be able to do well on it.
Only 1 second off top after my 1st attempt, looked again and somebody had knocked another 8 seconds off to go kom.
Anyway, thought I'd have a try this morning and boom, kom by 2 seconds

Is there a way of flagging 'faulty' segments? (can only see the option for dangerous ones)
For example this one: http://app.strava.com/segments/1434989 The start of it is through a garden (then the gps plotting after that doesnt follow the road particularly well) so although it is a road used often by cyclists there are only 7 times on it and my rides never seem to get picked up on it!

Why don't you create a new segment instead?
You could always just recreate the segment with good data and hide the bad one.
