The great Strava moving time Con

[classic33]

So from now on, cycle chat should no longer deal with "first world" problems?

OK, guys, that's a wrap. @Shaun, you can shutter the site now.

Edit: and I think it may be time stop using first etc world. Show me a country that people aren't bitching about strava segments and I'll show you a country strava hasn't rolled out to yet.

Greenland, Suriname, Paua New Guinea, Myanmar, Yemen

Don't tell me you can't get Strava in Yemen, no wonder there a bloody war on.

I can't see a country that doesn't have some strava usage. And where there is strava usage, there is bitching about segments.

Ripe for KOM's, why not. If you're on STRAVA, that is.

Countries named.

Madagasgar, black on the picture has STRAVA sections on the SW area.

Your right, I could go and set the slowest KOM's in history.

On about strava segment and how stupid they are I did one in halmer end to the gresley arms pub at the top of the bank called surprisingly the Gresley climb. Stupid me assumed that the segment ended at the pub where I stopped for a very nice pint only to find out it didn't end at the pub but 50 metres past it so it now says I did 0.4 miles in 40 minutes 35 seconds with an average speed of 0.7 mph the funny thing is I wasn't even the slowest someone took 1hr 12 minutes he must of had the same idea.

Very few segments in the rides I uploaded from the Semaine Federale.

I want to know who set the segment on my street. It's less than 75 yards, and accessible from one end only.

I must be in the minority that enjoys segments. They're just a bit of fun, that you can challenge yourself on.

I like to create longer TT style ones though. That separates out the short blast segment hunters that hit various individual climbs out on different rides, as the longer segment shows.

Never understood the disdain some people have for Strava. Why get wound up, if you're not interested in it?

North Korea? Actually, I can see plenty..

Not sure what point you are making there, unless you were just stating a truism.

I enjoy them as well especially the names that people come up with for some of them. (There's one a few miles away from me called dodge the smack head and trust me you really do ) but I don't take it too seriously it's just a bit of fun the only time I've got into the top 50 was when a got chased by a very nasty looking dog and was riding for my life.

Some cracking names out there. Seen a couple of areas where people have created 3 in a row, to make you laugh at the combined names.

Was going to add some in between, but couldn't come up with anything better. Lol
