Strava is fun. It’s social. It’s motivating.
But let’s be honest: How many times have you pushed harder than you should have just because someone might see your ride?
You’re supposed to be riding in Zone 2…
But you see a hill…
And now you’re chasing a KOM…...
and your recovery ride just became a threshold effort.
Let’s open the discussion 👇
- Have you ever felt Strava pressure affecting your pacing?
- Do you ever hide rides or set them to private to stay disciplined?
- Should serious cyclists stop using Strava entirely or learn to use it differently?

No judgment.
