Six things we love about Strava
When Paris-Roubaix winners start posting their times on the race’s hellish cobbled secteurs as Strava segments, you know that cycling’s favourite GPS service has become a bona fide phenomenon.

Follow this link to George’s six favourite things about Strava and his suggestions for a few minor improvements. Have you joined the RCUK Strava club yet? What are you waiting for?
