Hot followers on Strava

Man, I must be doing something right. I've had a rash of hot women start following me on Strava. They even give me link to hook up with them. I guess all the miles are paying off!

Me too. Interesting you can block them but it doesn't hide their kudos and comments, and their is no automated feature to report abuse.

I'm actually way more annoyed by their failure to implement filtering in the feed to hide things like Zwift though. There's a support thread that goes for years on that and they still haven't done anything. I let my premium membership lapse this year partly because of that.

The company that owns Tinder just bought Strava. Look for more of the same. It's evolving into a cycling/hook-up app.

Agreed. I block them but very annoying there isn't an option to report them, at least not that I saw on the app.

Sounds like it will soon be possible to only date people above some ftp threshold. Couples tandem riders rejoice!

Is this serious? I just got a bunch of Kudos from different women this morning. There's really no way to block this?

You can't stop the kudos without going private. But you can go to each athlete page and block the athlete individually.

Strava is aware of the issue and deletes the accounts rather quickly.

https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/...vity-on-Strava

I got kudos from "Heather" for a ride I did this week. Her profile was deleted the following day and the kudos disappeared.

Because of this thread I went and looked at my Strava this morning and lo and behold I got kudos from the very attractive but unknown to me Kinley Aguilar. Just checked that ride again and see that she / her kudos have disappeared. Seems like Strava is working on this?

I guess there are some women who find KOM's irresistibly sexy.
