- It was too cold outside to ride my bike, but since I'm addicted to data collection and analytics, I considered Stravaing my indoor ride to ensure I had a complete training record.
- A high profile cyclist had recently started following me on Strava, so I felt compelled to start Stravaing my indoor rides to prove I am a worthy cyclist.
- Due to the "ride data or it didn't happen" principle, Stravaing your indoor rides is mandatory.

Usually male, uses the app strava, with obsession, to outdo his 'friends' and cycling companions on segments and trails. Can be seen at the end of segments looking at his phone to check if he has knocked a second off his time or if he has beaten a 'friend'. Will chase past anyone shouting STRAVAAAAAAA extremely loudly and scaring the shit out of you, with the added bonus of knocking you off your bike.
The air will turn blue if anyone beats his time, friendships will be lost and marriages destroyed.
Ultimate aim of a strava wanker is to achieve a 'KOM', king of the mountain! This is usually celebrated with joy, happiness and high fives, more fulfilling than the birth of his first born.

When athletes check every single workout of their friends and fellow competitors via the Strava fitness website or app. They know what type of work out the did, the route, the total moving time, elevation gain, heart rate, and all the other Strava users with them. They frequently analyze this data against their own, and gossip with others athletes about said workouts seen on Strava.
Joel and Tyson spent half a day Strava stalking Rachael and Stacy during their training run in Hawaii, so they could pick apart their pacing on the hills.
