Interesting to listen to how you do and don’t use Strava. I use it and not really how any of your conversation suggested. Marks point about some people are dicks and some of them are on Strava is valid. I find it interesting in a geeky way to track my riding in terms of distance etc over the weeks/months/years and how much different bikes get used. It is a social media platform that allows me to see what friends are doing (sometimes without me!) and them me. Segments are of low importance but again interesting especially the longer climb ones to see changes in my fitness and bikes and their effects. All without being a d1ck hopefully. Good work keep it up.
