Strava anyone?

Does anyone else use Strava to track runs, rides or walks? I have been trying it for a week and I have to say that it is a useful tool. It seems to be as accurate as GPS in recording distance and elevation and is organized in a more useable format than my Garmin. I am using the free version and it does a good job of tracking my route and storing the data and I really like the split segment times with personal bests to track my descents! Too bad they are not available if you tell Strava you are on an ebike....

I use it to troll the Lycra brigade and blow their king of mountain times out of the water! I get a new KOM on every ride ha!

Strava is a super fun tool for tracking rides (ebike and human power only).. it would be cool if you could plot out human and electric power through the ride and use some of the Strava built in comparison tools. Mr. Bill is the only other member I know uses Strava. I just joined Kinninviekid's club.

I use it but make my rides on the E-bike "Private". I had thought that if enough E-bikers were interested Strava may make an ebike class so as not upset the lycra crowd.

You can select " ebike ride" as one of the options, but if you do, it won't show you any of the segments of your route that you get if you select bike.

No idea, I just started using it. It's on the page where you can name your ride/walk and then save and upload the feed.

Look is playing with a pedal based power meter so one could plot actual rider power and HR in a strava data mix along side the ebike speed- distance data. Just started using strava. Like it very much.
