I got a QoM on Saturday...out of 21 but hey! (probably because I got lucky with the lights...but hey for a second time )

I must admit the block has spoilt my fun of using Strava a bit, I did like to compare my own efforts & then look at the speed others have done it, probably twice as fast as me, but it's not worth £50 a year to me.

I've used Strava for a couple of years now, the WIMPS have a training club on there and we use it to keep in touch .. along with a few other platforms .....
Garmin Connect is my primary data store, and to be honest with "Your Ride To-day" on here i have all the coverage i actually want .
I understand the Strava decision to generate income, and wish them all the best with their business model ....
I'll use CycleChat / Garmin for all my data and image logging in future ....

I'm all good. Free version gives me all I need or want.

Always interested to see how I did on the day of the ride compared to others; its a pity it then changes to the day after and so on rather than being fixed on the date of the ride. IMO Stravas segment data is worth paying for when route planning to see if there are any grades just too steep on a proposed route.

I accidentally had a KOM for about a year because I drove down the street and Strava was still connected. I didn't even know what one was at the time.
Poor fella who I robbed must have been gutted to see me hit an average speed of 30mph.
I deleted it as soon as I noticed.

Doesn't everyone know that if someone has posted a faster segment than you, then they've cheated?

Best to only compete against yourself as you know when you have been cheating.

True

Best to only compete against yourself as you know when you have been cheating.

Even then some would still not admit it

I'd still come last

Don't I know it

The OP makes a point about e-bikes in his locality probably bagging all the KOM's, must be a strange place

Not at all strange there is a local rider on an ebike, obviously unrestricted talking loads of KOM's, I don't think he is the only one.

I only use it to share my rides and see where other mates have been riding. The segments is only of passing interest and only in terms of how I’ve been doing. I suspect this passing interest will disappear now they are nobbling even personal comparisons.

Throw the computers in the bin and race your mates like you used to... or just ride and take in the country side. Or in my case the smell of the trent and mersey canal...
