    It lets you be a kid again. I remember racing my friends through arbitrary checkpoints, i.e. “first one past that speed limit sign wins”. Now I’d still like to do that from time to time, except I have no friends. Enter Strava.

    What Strava achieves, that no
    What Strava achieves, that no other site or app does, is to gamify the experience of training and riding with your mates. By creating leaderboards of defined segments, it’s a fantastic motivational tool. You’ll find yourself pushing harder to beat your previous best times up certain hills, and to actually claim the KOM on well travelled segments is quite rewarding.

    Here’s a blog post I wrote about the whole gamification aspect of Strava –

    (there are quite a few more strava related articles on the site too, which might be of interest to Stravanauts!

    Its a freckin addictive way
    Its a freckin addictive way of riding with and against your peers.

    So much so that when it fails to record just a few miles of your route and therefore not record a single mile of your route, you feel like smacking someone in the face due to the miles you suffered and efforts you made over segments, not being recorded.

    [quote]What is Strava?

    Currently focused on the needs of avid cyclists and runners, Strava lets you track your rides and runs via your iPhone, Android or dedicated GPS device to analyze and quantify your performance. Strava makes fitness a social experience, providing motivation and camaraderie even if you’re exercising alone.

    Strava grew out of our own needs as athletes. With busy lives requiring much solo training, we missed the sense of camaraderie and friendly competition that drove us to achieve our best through training with others.

    Today, Strava lets athletes all over the world experience social fitness—sharing, comparing and competing with each other’s personal fitness data via mobile and online apps. Get out there: http://www.strava.com[/quote%5D
