Strava is ace.
That is all.
It's not disdain. Some cyclists get so focused on beating Strava times that they forget about the basics. Like safety. That winds people up, understandably in my opinion.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?
How accurate are the records

That's fair enough. I agree on that point. Some of those cyclists not on Strava are like that too.It's not disdain. Some cyclists get so focused on beating Strava times that they forget about the basics. Like safety. That winds people up, understandably in my opinion.
