Strava Sues Garmin

Strava has to tread carefully. All the other places I send my data can now get it directly from Garmin Connect. That became possible after the Strava API changes last year., which incentivised them to cut the reliance on Strava as a source.

A trickle may turn into an exodus. I’ve already gone from sending every Garmin activity to Strava, to less than 1 in 7. That frequency may drop to only sending major events to Strava to share. I am also seeing similar patterns from other friends. We all know we are getting out exercising far more than Strava shows.
