I'm not saying all Strava users are arseholes or anything like that, but blasting through a family group, our a group of beginners, etc is just rude.
Point being that this behaviour his c**tish wether strava is involved or not.
Do you use Strava in races...really? Bet you all play with Tamagotchi's as well.
Strava strava whatever it's all the rage now but once 90% of riders realise that they are not quick and have no chance of being the quickest it will die off.
Enjoy being the quickest while you can as the big boys are coming to play
So you're going for a KOM best in your local woods on a weekend and you come across these thoughtless little ****ers. What does a Stravanista shout?

I mean this is the competition right, and they're on your 'line'
"Stravanista" I like that. I'm wondering if they (we) should paint an orange chevron on the back of the seat post so people understand why when they barge past? 🙂
Pretty simple surely - its the responsibility of the uphill cyclist (like skier) to ride safely and not endanger the downhill cyclist. Doing anything else is selfish or merely being a **** (insert favourite word)!
Sad that Strava KOM is more important than the safety of a fellow rider. Is MTB becoming like climbing Everest???
If caught with an unecessary electronic gadget, a fat person will be employed to jump up and down on it till you cry.
How will you differentiate between the latter and the former 😆
Oldgit - mayeb something like this "Oi, lads you're getting owned by a girl" 😆

See I disagree because going uphill is important to me. I'd just make it sweet so we both passed without issue. I tend to give a 'bit' of priority to those riding up, as it's easier to dab and restart going downhill. Whilst dabbing on a climb could mean the end of the ride.
Skiing is a poor reference, I might be wrong, but I don't thing many people take part in uphill skiing.
Just glanced at the only trail 'down south' that I've heard of, 'Barry Knows Best', as I zoomed in on London. Its had over 2000 riders clock it on Strava. Parkamoor, by way of comparison, has had 33.
Glad I ride where I do!
Oldgit - apart form the last bit, I think we are saying the same thing? If you are uphill, its your responsibility to avoid an incident. Doesn't matter which way you are going. Basic manners, common sense. So skiing rules are perfect reference despite the obvious difference. IMHO, of course!
I thought you shoudl always giveway to the climber

Well one of them is clearly committing every sin in the biking book, he's wearing a full face whilst climbing, his BMX has 4 pegs and his brake levers are pointing skywards. So it had better be something appropriate to that level of ignorance about the rules.

From the posts about a certain enduro series you need to log your own times....
I have been out on trails where people have pushed infront of me while I was waiting for my missus to get a good gap in front so they can get round quicker - this was in 2007
Nothing here is new, nothing is different just in a reactionary way people have something to blame.
