How Strava works

Chuchote · 2016-10-16 10:18:00

How does Strava show your identity if you sign up and show others a run? (In other words, does it use a nickname or identify you.) And is it easy to exclude an area around your home, and how wide an area do people exclude?

I saw a segment for the Gerry brannigan spin. It was 58k or something mad. The whole spin. I think the WW200 is a segment too

How anonymized is the "Include my anonymized public activity in Strava Metro and Heatmap" setting? Would your rides and your routine be available from it to someone who wanted it?

Both are completely anonymous. The heatmap shows popular routes based on the number of rides recorded. Metro is similar, but also provides more in depth data (number of cyclists, type of ride, wait time at intersections). It's still group based though. You can't pick out individual details.
