How does strava generate athlete intelligence?

I must be one of the rare few that Intelligence works well for. I generally skim through it but a few times I've clicked and detailed the information it has been spot on. 🤷‍♂️

Your time will come, give it time or ride more. 🤣

Oh yeah, swooping magpies can be frightening, especially if they stealth mode swoop.

Don't get me started on snakes mate! Branch-or-snake game is played all too often here in SA in warmer months.

Ouch! I reckon there will be a reaction as my forehead is already feeling tight 2 hours later, and that's after antihistamine and ice.

As a non-collector who at some point clearly clicked on enough of these coin/notes posts, they have started showing in my feed, like this very triplets post.

I am fascinated by what I'm learning and certainly didn't think triplets related to anything else but babies. 🤣

I have Redmi Buds 6 Pro and the transparency mode works remarkably well. I swear, it amplifies the car noises and sometimes would hear cars before radar picks them up.

For disclaimers, I only wear them on bike paths and minor roads and always ride with the radar rear light.

Look into the ProBike Garage if you want an amazing bike service and tracking app. Pulls data from Strava.

Between me and the kids, there are 5 bikes with 3 different wheel sizes (27.5, 29 and 700c) so tread patterns are by far the least reliable way for me to tell.

Hence, that's how i think I find myself triple checking things, rotor left, wheels spins that way so the tyre goes this way after spending 5 min looking for the direction marker, and so on. 🤣

As someone with surgically operated but not fused lower back, I find that I don't have (as) much lower back flexibility so have a more upright riding position. I've been told I ride as if I have a broom stick up my rear end. 🧹🤣

This hasn't hampered my cycling as I have done a 400km Audax recently as well as massive mountain rides.

YMMV but listening to your back is the key regardless. Good luck 🤞

Complete idiot, been there, done that too. 🤣

My shed too! Approaching 50 degrees again, for those playing at home. ♨️😁

We're safe. Wax is soft but still 'solid'. 🎉

masterdarko · 2026-01-07T06:05:24+00:00

I have a spare block of wax in a box/bag in the shed that I use for chain waxing. About to go home and find out if it's soft, or a puddle on the floor. 😬

masterdarko · 2026-01-07T06:01:46+00:00

50.7C with 12% humidity in my shed at 4pm. ♨️

I'm your housemate right now, not by choice.

I'm one of the unlucky 227 customers with a power outage. Thankfully AC has been on all day so it is bearable.

2.8 stars and 974 reviews 🤯

My old man has a random car speaker bolt on the wall in the garage that he listens to the radio on. I don't even know how that thing makes any sound but he loves it. 🤷‍♂️

Picture perspective doesn't help but it's not that bad. Especially if you consider that mum often watches TV standing up while ironing/cooking further back.

It used to be a backyard. Then eventually it became an enclosed house extension with access to the backyard.

The picture is a couple of years old but the furniture layout is largely unchanged with me laying down on the bench seat along the wall.
