Strava cycling app

I use a garmin 200 for tracking strava , i know its a separate device but the battery life is over 4 times as long and i can save courses and run breadcrumb routes of new courses, i am not sure if strava can do this on a phone.
Strava is addictive, i upload all of my rides even the slow ones as its fun to see how you are improving or struggling depending on the weather, how tired you are etc.

When I upgraded my phone to a Samsung Android my first question to the Vodafone geek in the shop was could I get Strava on It

As many have said its very addictive.
Once you have a few rides logged, then upload yuor details to Veloviewer so you can follow your progress

I'm a recent convert, having never owned a garmin i assumed i wasn't part of the club.

Then i discovered an app for my blackberry and was converted.

I ride with a mix of ride buds and strava is a fantastic way for us all to track each others progress and even compete with each other over mileage.

The speed thing is of no interest, especially as strava takes it upon itself to ignore the bb app and add approximately 1 minute for every 6 that i ride, knocking out any hope of an accurate average time.

I also upload my gpx files to "ride with gps" which is actually a much better site with more ride info, but less used

I upload my rides to strava from my garmin 800, not too bothered about "racing" other people though.

i just aim for PB, am a little to heavy to get decent times on the climbs

I'm of the same opinion its much better for analysis/ comparison just a pity its not as popular. I also like the Privacy zone thing in Strava.

Just start the timer and its automatic. With the 305 there's an option to make a tcx course from the generated route and follow/ try to improve on it in future I presume the 200 is similar.

Download a gpx file to your device either from a mapping site or gpx sharing site. On your device select training and "follow course" . Your device will ask you to choose a course and the bread crumb trail will open up. Start timer, and you can zoom in and out of the trail. An arrow will show you where you are on the trail. If you stray from it will beep at you amd point you towards the trail. Simples.

The app is crap, the website is........... a mixed bag (mostly positive).

The android app is absolutely fine. The latest update has just made it even better.

I use it via the Android app but mainly to track longer rides/progress.

If you go segment chasing it seems to be the opening to a whole new world of pain ...

I owe most of my current fitness to Strava...everyday is a race!
