Above all, what helps make Strava such a great tool is that it’s incredibly user-friendly.
You can either use the app to record your ride – and check out what others are doing on the move – or, as we prefer, use a Garmin computer so you have the key ride data at your fingertips while out on the bike, then upload the file to Strava.
There’s no shortage of data, routes and rides to get lost in on Strava but the clean interface is a doddle to navigate and easy to understand – and it’s all the better for it.
We’ve only scratched the surface of our favourite things about Strava. Tell us what you love – and other features you’d like to see – on the RoadCyclingUK forum.
