Cheating at Strava

 

I recently read a New York Times article about cheating in Strava. It seems that there is a site dedicated to helping people falsify their data.

I would never knowingly falsify my Strava data, but occasionally do it by accident. 

What happens is that I go cycling a distance from home and I bring my bike to the start point in the back of the car. I then use my bike computer to track my cycle. Occasionally I forget to turn off my bike computer when I return to my car. The bike computer is still tracking my cycle while I drive home at 120km/h on the motorway.

When this happens I get an email from Strava entitled "suspected fraud". :-/
