    bash your willy stupid in and out of the jar of liver and at the end when your legs go straight, the lime is tugged from your obvious and it is said to be the best rub you will ever have.

    i heard if you are sitting on the edge of a burning hot bath full of water too at the same time, you can plunge backwards as your legs go straight and this serves to heighten the whole affair.

    Remember nearly half of the people you meet will be of below average intelligence.

    Is this because the other half (the half above average intelligence) don't mingle with us mongaloids and stay in the safety of their private estate/jet a.k.a VTECH :D


    I don't always reside in a private estate. I also use penthouse suites. The view over Brickell Miami right now is stunning and being in the penthouse allows me (if I so wished) to piss on those below ! :)

    It's probably the fault of starva turning a lot of cyclists into racer wannabes. They don't stop for red lights, pedestrians or blue rinse grandmas with walking sticks. It's all about KOM. No politeness and they don't enjoy their cycling unless they are winning. Put the app in the bin and enjoy the sport again!

    At least when they're racing they don't tootle along two abreast flirting. Those fellas don't even know how to compromise even though I, as a keen B road motorist, have done just that. I accept there's two of them and I don't even toot my horn anymore, but when passing I pretend there's only one which balances it out. It does get a bit close but it's a compromise nonetheless and a fair one at that.
    Are they happy? Are they heck, they're still shaking their fists and probably rushing home to upload their helmet cameras.

    no because I get to record a history of what I cycle, I get to compare my times as I get fitter and see where my friends have done. not everyone cares about KOM's - I record when I'm out with my son too.

    No, though I do aspire to a pair to go with my mirrored sunglasses and special driving moccasins.

    True dat.

    I keep my phone in my pack and turned off. I don't need to record my rides. I know where I have ridden, I was there. As for racing, if I want to race, I go to a race it's good fun and usually very friendly.
    A KOM time doesn't tell you if the rider had a tail wind, was slipstreaming lorries or riding a moped so it's pretty meaningless.

    This is why I like using Strava.

    Your fitness cannot be measured based on historical Strava timing data... To measure your true fitness, you'd need to collect power figures.

    Surely the best way to tell you have got quicker is you start leaving your mates behind on the climbs. And it's more fun than relying on an app. As long as you have friends of course.

    week to week form fluctuates so not a useful yardstick. Besides, I don't have eyes in the back of my head so have no idea how far behind they are. ;)

    Strava is a bit of fun and a useful tool. I certainly find it quite motivating and I love stats.

    There's alot of grumbling in this thread. You know there's a fair share of w*nkers on MTB's too? (It takes one to know one)

    The worst thing about strava is the straight "strava" lines opened up on twisty trails. Ashton court trail builders spend a lot of time blocking off these lines.
    Timing isn't a great measure of fittness. Trail conditions have a big impact on your times so does temperature, technical riding, traffic on the trails and even your mood. That's too many variables to measure anything.

    It's got a lot worse over the last few years.
    The Bristol Trails Group who maintain Ashton Court are convinced it's Strava users.
    It's got a lot worse on my local trails since everyone has been trying (failing) to beat the local pro freerider using a fraction of his skills and no more fittness. We block off the straight lines but more appear all the time.

    so instead of "I blame wiggle" are we now going to use " I blame strava"?

    personally I don't get the hate for people using it. I use it and couldn't give a fark what anyone else thinks about me using it :roll:

    It's a bit like the family of the bloke in the US that tried to sue Strava because he died trying to get the fastest time down a mountain road. It's not Strava's fault the bloke was an idiot. Some people are twunts, with or without an app.
