Have you used these 'secret' Strava features? 📱

[@filippopogacar]

I not use Strava

[@laurentitolledo1838]

when strava discontinued support for Ant+ sensors....I have not used it since...

[@filippopogacar]

@@laurentitolledo1838 👏🏻

[@peterlip8]

Lots of great features there. I know about most of them, but don't use many of those because I'm not a social rider, I mainly go out on my Pat Malone. 😉 Didn't know about the athete number though. I'm number 8446!!! Been a member since Oct-2010, although I didn't really use it much until the end of 2012.

[@PackFanDave]

I started using the beacon feature this summer after a friend broke his hip after he hit a deer on a trail last March. Even though I wear an iWatch and have my iPhone with me I have used the beacon feature once already when I got caught in a thunderstorm that came of nowhere an needed someone yo be able to pick me up.

[@windscreen91]

Another "secret" Strava feature is the ability to track mileage on your components. I find it super helpful to keep tabs on how many miles since I last waxed my chain. From desktop only: profile/settings, then My Gear in the left side menu. Create a bike, click on the bike's name, and then populate components.

[@dmitry.gashko]

That's a really cool hack. Not those "secret" but in reallity just the most basic features.

[@dmitry.gashko]

@@69peterpumpkineater when fail… it doesn’t work like that. If you change something when it’s fail, you might already need to change something else too

[@matteo.ceriotti]

That's a very basic one. If you just swap a component, you can't track it anymore.

[@lutzpleuter6388]

Feature for the mobile app only: When you did a ride with others they are mentioned in your activity. Click on group editing and then shake the mobile. Strava asks you if you want to give Kudos to all athletes or just your followers! That one nearly no one knows!

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

Only if they have Stava as well with the same subscription grade or above or you need to apply their details manually as "GUEST NON-SIBSCRIBERS" .

[@MonkeyKing1969]

In the Compare tool, I wish Strava would allow me to compare against people who rode the same segment on the same day I did. At the moment, it is only 'Today' or for all time. For example, if you've done an event a week ago, and you want to see how you compared with other people at the same event, then you'd want to compare on that day. I've asked Strava for this, but I don't think they got it...

[@gcn]

Sounds like a very good idea! We know the Strava team is always looking to expand the in-app features so watch this space!👀

[@benfolds17]

They also have last week and last month (as well as that day) this year and all time. All those already exist mate!

[@nickobec]

Was not totally free, non paying users were limited to only uploading only three activities (if I remember correctly) a week(?) when I started #13245 (got introduced to Strava by #5007). It did change a few months later.

[@josiedinsmore]

Beacon is my favourite extra feature on the app! My family members can see exactly where I am during a day out or a multi-day bike trip! An excellent safety feature!!

[@martinfuchs6377]

What I'd like to see is a Segment Compare feature. So I could compare climbs I want to do with the ones I've already done. Basically a profile overlay that shown which one is steeper, or longer or where the challenging bits are.

[@gcn]

Ooo that's a cool idea! We know the Strava team are always looking to develop new features 👀

The annoying thing about many of these feature is that they're app-only. If you want to use the flyover feature on a bigger screen where it might look amazing, tough.

[@MisterAndyS]

I'd like to be able to see group stats, but exclude "virtual" rides. I'm outdoors all year round, and some of my friends/colleagues are "riding" more inside in the winter than they do outdoors when the weather's nice. And also they're suddenly 22 MPH on every ride when in the real world they average more like 15 MPH.

Holy crap, I'm a really early adopter. 8446 I'm shocked it's such a low number. It claims I joined in October 2010, surely they had way more than 8000 in Oct-2010, given they started in 2009???

[@ceftx2375]

Riding mostly in and around Dallas, TX, I have Beacon set to auto-activate at the beginning of every ride. I never ride without it. 👍

[@TimR123]

Same here. It's only going to the people you choose anyway so a relatively privacy-safe behavior. Also if you are running Strava on a cellular enabled smartwatch, make sure you run it there not on your phone. That way the beacon follows YOU not your phone in the event of a crash.

[@gcn]

Great safety feature 🙌

[@coverchick]

Great info Manon! And any video that features a flex from Manon is well worth the watch. Happy Holidays!

[@DragonRides75]

The beacon feature saved my life 😊

[@graemejwsmith]

Route Builder - pictures. Pictures will only show if the device taking the picture (usually a phone) is set to allow location information to be embedded in the picture file. Which is usually on by default. If you have location embedding turned off - then the picture can't be used in Route Builder.

[@alansmith3872]

all these features are great, and I love them all, but I think the absolute best one of the lot and nobody ever mentions it, is the "flyby feature". you can only access it on a laptop or main computer, not on a smart phone. you have to have allowed it in the settings, and the more people that have it tuned on in the settings the better, it's brilliant.

[@gadgetsgalore]

I remember when it was turned on by default for all users initially. You could see everyone you rode by and possibly connect with them if you were inclined to do so. Then the privacy patrol decided to put an end to that as usual.

[@CristianGarcia-xi7cf]

Yes, I use that as well! But I think I'm the only one out of my group of friends that uses it

[@gcn]

Such a cool social feature! Some great Social aspects coming to Stava - what do you make of the direct messaging feature?

[@alansmith3872]

​@gadgetsgalore yes when it was on by default everyone was on it and it was great, and now because not many know of it they don't turn it on, if they realised how good it was I'm sure many more would use it

[@Ed.R]

​@gcn Used to be, but now almost no one has it turned on. So now it's a waste of time checking. That and the loss of ANT+ and I'm really turned off to Strava now.

Another feature is heatmap. You can see where street is mostly full of cyclist or find unconventional unpaved path for mtb/hike

[@matthewbaynham6286]

I use Strava and I use the Garmin website and there is a difference between the graphs. On Strava the bottom axis is distance, on Garmin the bottom axis is time. So if I stop sit on a park bench and eat an apple or two then the Garmin graph shows that, for a period of time I wasn't moving, but the Strava doesn't this. Because the bottom axis on strava is distance as I'm sat on the park bench eating my apple I'm not travelling any distance so my rest doesn't show. Which makes the Garmin graphs give a better picture of how my training went and just how often I stop an eat an apple, I eat lots of apples. I would suggest that Strava should make the bottom axis adjustable.

[@timcorso6337]

Strata should have made the privacy features of the new messaging feature much clearer. There have been huge criticism over the feature from a large portion of female users as social media messaging tools are often used by predatory individuals - knowing that there is a way to ensure you don't suffer harrasent whilst using the app would give users peace of mind - had they actually been front and centre on how the new feature safeguards said vulnerable app users.

[@Phonamana]

I used the Strava Beacon on my C2C Route Ride across Florida. It was pretty neat that my brother could follow me. There's a bug in my Strava with the Auto Pause. It could just be on my phone. I used both MapMyRide and Strava in case one crashes. MapMyRide pauses correctly and I think it's more accurate. It could be because I'm using both that one interferes with the other but, my Strava tends to unpause when I am at a crosswalk on a bike trail waiting for the light. I could be sitting very still and I will see the clock counter moving and the distance actually moves too. So, what happens when the timer starts going and I am not moving, my recorded average speed gets messed up. By the time I am done with my ride using MapMyRide and Strava like today on a 65 mile ride, Strava was at 65 miles and MapMyRide was at 64 miles. If I am doing a workout like I do on a mile and half strectch and I am not stopping and sitting at any lights both MapMyRide and Strava seem to be on the same page. If Strava or I ever get that auto pause feature to work right, I would love the app.

Move the rides onto a Strava connected device, they should then upload. I did it by mistake when I borrowed a friends Garmin as it had better map displays than mine for a multi-day ride. When I connected it to the Garmin app to download the route it also uploaded all his rides to mine, and then onto my Strava.. I then spent hours working out which were his rides, to then delete from Garmin & Strava...

[@chris1275cc]

@@br5380 LOL I did exactly the same when I got a used Garmin Edge a few years bike. The guy who owned it before tracked his commute 6 days a week there and back and lots of short training and Zwift rides that don't take up to much space, so I dont think he had cleared it from new. There were THOUSANDS. If I remember correctly I did find a 3rd party Google plugin that let me filter the rides by the Head unit used and I could bulk delete.

[@JeremyPointer]

There are 3rd party tools to copy between many sports trackers - most of the popular ones at any rate ... I moved all my rides from a now defunct app but that was way back when.. seems I was the 11258th subscriber. IIRC there is a way to import from a dropbox/google files folder containing gpx's so if you're old app has a way for you to export your data (and they should have a way). I've previously used tapiirik to sync my rides to polar and other trackers I used to use, and I think Zapier has a way also. It may also be possible to sync from another strava connected app/webapp. I no longer do this as primarily I automatically upload to Garmin everything (including Strava) syncs from there .

investigate Golden Cheetah it is a free desktop app, been around for years and connects to most sports tracker/apps. You might be able to export/download from the other sports tracker, then synchronise or upload to Strava.

I would welcome option to edit comments under people's activities. It is so annoying when you want to edit your comment and instead of simple edit you have to delete it and rewrite it

I'm the 96th person to join Strava

[@KyleBeckman43]

I can't enter gifs into the chat feature on Android... anybody else?

[@nils_on_wheels]

Is there any hidden function to lower the ridiculous price?

[@fredhubbard7210]

My Strava number is 100,000,000 and counting... and that's not bad.

[@jfs116]

I’m in the US and mine doesn’t say anything about me or history or years with Strava

[@knitrundig4663]

... Pause video whilst we go to check our Strava athlete numbers, find we have several accounts, have to get laptop to show partner how to find number, go back to video... 😂

Strava was great in the early days when Roadies were amongst themselves. Nowadays it makes no sense with all the Ebike fools

[@6ft8incyclist]

I had avoided Strava for a long time.. But to my surprise I am just over 269,100

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

What's wrong with Komoot?

[@jrguk]

Yeah, fine though Strava is this did feel like an advertorial. Can’t have been actually paid for, because that would have required “paid promotion” to be shown…

[@gangstreG123]

@@jrguk Not necessarily. They get their bikes and kits for free as a partnership so they appear in most videos even though it isn't a direct promotion for a particular video. Perhaps their sponsorship with Komoot ended.

[@leestons]

Nothing, but GCN isn't being paid by Komoot for this video.

[@LiladeIph]

Never heard of Strava, never downloaded it and never intend on doing so... but why is it... that I look 2x fold healthier, happier, fitter than anyone on the app? 🤔 I'll tell you why... Carnivore diet; animals die so my life goes on. I'm 6"1 170 LBS and eat close to 170g protein a day. You don't need strava when you live like me :D

[@rustymh]

Way too expensive now. Almost double for the yearly plan. So I'll pay for 1 month when I really have to plan a route in an unknown area. In South Africa it's key to see where other users have been cycling for safety reasons.

I'm 6586!

If the price is competitive, then good.

Favorite feature is "PROGRESS" which shows the past 12 weeks of activity for each activity.

[@kevinsiner]

Woo Hoooo, I was one of the first 400K users

[@Harry3w2003]

Looks like I got in on Strava right before 80k.

[@gcn]

Very early! How many miles do you think you have logged?

[@Harry3w2003]

@@gcn Only 11,000 but I had some health issue and some years were in the 100-300 range. This year I am just over 2,500 which is a big upswing.
