Strava segments that nobody else uses.

Was tickled to read about a user that created a segment between his own front room to his kitchen. I reckon a couple of his pals should "pop round for a brew" and throw a GPS enabled device from one room to the other and wait for the reaction when he has lost his KOM.
Anyone know of similar extremes to own a KOM? or maybe you've given your all but had no takers on a genuinely solid section of road.

    Just make the segment long enough on a ride you do, and no one else will ride it.

    I've got some great categorised KOMS. They happened in the early days of my GPS when the software was a bit glitchy and there was a substantial offset between reality and where the unit thought I was. As a result, every big climb automatically recorded a KOM about 100 yards away from the road! I doubt I could lose those even to a trials bike rider! :lol:

    There's a local nursery and tea room which has a private road in and out, particularly the road out is nice as it does a loop around the back. I made a segment on it but it does appear that very few cyclists visit there as I'm still the only rider on it.

    This is my one and only KOM... You will notice that the trace goes into a field and my 500 for some reason has been the only one to pick it up...

    A work colleague's partner set a segment for the commute, last night it was a 47 minute segment. Tonight it is a 40 minute segment. :D

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
