What's the point of being 'friends' with total strangers?I don't do smileys.

Zach,
This website has it's own Strava group, why not join that?

Joined and I was not aware, but after you said that, it was a complete "DUH" moment for me. HahaAndcp wrote:Zach,

I'll follow you mate.
Although I'm sure you will get loads of random Kudos from Singapore and Russia anyway. Why do I always get that? :roll:Giant TCR

Actually you dont really need friends on strava. What you need is a good in real life company to ride together. And from what ive seen what you need most is to ride more. Way more.0

I looked at your feed. There are lots of straight roads and 90 degree turns. You have no KOMs...
Also I gave you some Kudos.

King of the Mountain.
It means you are quickest over a particular segment, whether it's downhill, flat or uphill. The leader gets crowned KOM.
Plus you get a wee crown next to your name on that segment.
An email is usually sent to the previous holder of the KOM letting them know it's been beaten.0 -

It's a forum. We are not here to blow smoke up your ass. Same as Strava. You want people to follow you out of pity?Zmac31 wrote:

You want something positive? Join a cycling club. A real one with people you can go riding with. Make some proper cycling friends. Comparing yourself against complete strangers on different rides in different weather is a nonsense. You sound like you just want (unwarranted) praise to feed your ego. If you did a regular route with a club then start beating your own times individually then kudos is deserved from those who know you or at least know the ride. You on the other hand sound like the sort of person who brags about have 200 friends on FB or countless followers on twitter etc but have nothing to really offer.Zmac31 wrote:
If you don't have anything positive to add , then don't. I simply had only two other people I had on strava and DIDN'T realize that Bikeradar had a club. I want to be able to compare myself to others to see what I am weakest at and so fourth.Trivial poursuivant wrote:

As stated earlier. I am a noob to Road biking and I don't think I could keep up yet. Why belittle me when I never asked for Kudos. I specifcally said I wanted other people to look at. Whatever man, If you feel the need to bully people online, you do you.Trivial poursuivant wrote:

I'm not bullying so don't try to I'll the troll/bully bs just cos you don't like the opinions of others. I said quite clearly, join a club. There are ability levels for everyone. You won't get left behind at all. That's not the point of club rides. Yes you get fast rides for the stronger there but a casual group full of a mixed range of ability can be done at most reputable clubs. You will probably end up going faster anyway as the group pulls you along and you will enjoy it more and improve without riding yourself into the ground every day. You want advice on getting friends on Strava, make them real friends you have ridden with. That way it actually means something0 -
You are a troll, but this last post id you trying to salvage not being one. One guy mentioned to me about this atmosphere on BIkeradar, he wasn't wrong i guess!Trivial poursuivant wrote:Zmac31 wrote:

You want advice. I offered it, you don't like it you call troll. I've not Been abusive, I've not been belittling, I have been quite honest but if you are so thin skinned that you cannot take the slightest constructive criticism then you came to the wrong forum. I suggested you join a club but you seem prepared to dismiss that advice and just want faceless people following you (or the impression they are since there is no guarantee they actually will even if they can) I mean why should they? They don't know you. Yey well done guy I never met yey.0

Behave man, no one is trolling, and you are not a victim end of.
My advice?
Just keep riding , post your rides to Strava.. after a while , somehow , you get noticed, you get random followers, you get random kudos. It is how it works.
Strava is not Facebook, where certain groups eg Zwift are so full of repressed sh it howlers, it is unbelievable.0 -
Oh shit! I didn't see any rules about that on strava and all I wanted was a few people to follow so my feed wasn't just me. I was not aware that BikeRadar set the guidelines for STrava. Next time I'll message you before posting, so I never make this mistake again.JGSI wrote:Behave man, no one is trolling, and you are not a victim end of.

See JGSI you can offer all the good willed advice you like, he'll just throw it back at you cos he obviously knows better.0 -
I just feel ganged up on. Its okay though. Not sure why having people on strava that you don't know is so insane. I just wanted a couple people to in my feed so I wasn't looking just myself. Lots of Road bike forums out there. See ya!Trivial poursuivant wrote:Zmac31 wrote:

Starting to see why you want the people to follow you on Strava to be strangers, If this is how you makes friends. Seeya. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Plenty offered advice but you don't want to know so why should we?
Out of interest, do YOU follow anyone yourself?0 -
Bottom line.
Strava is NOT social media. You are trying to use it incorrectly.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0
