This is beyond useless for me. It’s far more of an achievement to go and find a different route every time you go out rather than endlessly slog up and down the same ones.
Maybe achievements for the number of different segments you rode in a 90 day window would be more appropriate?
If anything this will encourage me to flag more of my rides as private. I’m sure that’s not what Strava want.
Maybe it’s a gimmick to get the commuters to start saving rides?
How about some negative reinforcement? If you ride a segment some specified percentage below the KOM/QOM you get poop emojis next to those segments.
It could be a ‘reverse’ KOM - most time spent on that segment! So, you are rewarded for riding slowly. You could get the Local Legend status simply by riding that segment at 1km/h!
That’s brilliant!
