    While I was experimenting with my new bolt and recording on that and my garmin watch, it recognised them as the same ride and only uploaded one of them. Does it not do that with Strava recording and a garmin upload?

    Only time it added both was one day I forgot to start one of them at a same time (actually it might have been autopause was off on one of them, so the start of the spin wasn't delayed on one, whereas the autopause immediately kicked in on the other).
    It doesn't seem to with some people anyway. When their activity feed appears, the same activity comes in twice and it will say something like 'Joe Soap rode with Joe Soap' and the route/time will be the same. One activity will indicate a Garmin (or whatever) and the other a smart phone.

    Has anyone heard the voice that activates on the new iphone update when you stop and then restart.
    It really sounds like the Woman who does the voices on the Luas stops.
    You might be only able to hear it when using earphones.

    Yeah I see it. Just wondered how it happens, as like I say when I was saving the same workout on two devices, unless I made a timing mistake, it only displayed one. (Training Peaks on the other hand...)

    Does anyone else have Strava claiming they created segments that they didn't create?

    Strava indicates that I have created these 2 segments in Florida. I most certainly did not!

    https://www.strava.com/segments/4584347

    https://www.strava.com/segments/4658027

    Where does it say you created them?
    If they are in your My Segments section it just means you have starred them and they will appear as live segments on a compatible garmin

    My bugbear with Strava is that it duplicates a lot on the Apple Watch activity app. For some reason a spin is uploaded to the watch twice. It's not all the time though, just some of the time.

    Under 'My Segments' there are 3 tabs - 'Starred Segments', 'Created Segments' and 'Hidden Segments'.

    The segments that I didn't create are in the 'Created Segments' tab.

    At least 4 segments around me are obviously by people driving!!

    Driving? Holy moley! That would explain that snecker near me who I thought could genuinely just bop along at 50-70kph while throwing out an estimated 800w plus for hours. What in jaysis was I thinking?

    Is there some kind of strava police or strava snitch line I can moan to?

    You can flag it and Strava will contact them for an explanation.

    I wonder if Nico Roche is telling his mates he almost got a 'flyby' with me today? I'd say he is.

    My little gripe is when people use both a Garmin and their phone to record a ride and then upload both so their 120k Sunday spin becomes 240k.

    It doesn’t double the distance it just says ‘John McCyclist rode with one other’ and when you look who the other person was you’ll see it was the same person.

    A friend of mine always records on his Garmin and his phone for some reason so it always looks like he was out with someone else whereas he was on his own.

    The despicable KOM hunter! If he wants to prove how "good" a cyclist he is he should race, but guaranteed you won't see him at any local A4 or A3 races, he's clearly a chancer...

    i once recorded two rides (phone and on garmin) because i was concerned my garmin wouldn't have the juice to last. my phone uploaded the ride first directly to strava, and then strava refused the data from garmin a few minutes later because it was a duplicate.

    as a test, i tried the converse a week or two after; i stopped and saved the garmin ride and let it upload before finishing and saving on my phone. no problem with this one, it accepted both. whether there was enough difference in the GPS data to make it look like a separate ride would be speculation, i suspect it's just the rides are handled or checked in a slightly different manner depending on the source?
