Is strava going from suck to blow?

[Robin]

It does really seem sad though when you see someone's ride and it's "Afternoon Ride". Like there's no way they had fun if it's the basic name.

Strava should at least change the name based on starting location or something.

I'm lazy and let Trailforks name it.

THIS IS AN OPTION?

This is motivating me to do better with my activity naming. Think I'll take some inspiration from TrainerRoad and start using appropriately descriptive names like "RICH HOLE".

I had a lot of issues last year with Garmin and Strava not talking. So I run my rides through Garmin Connect to Trailforks, which is linked to Strava...so it automatically names it.

actually thats the way it was in the early days of Strava (i joined circa 2013 ish) but then it became a safety/security thing to have it default to " Morristown, NJ cycling". This was all before they implemented the security zone and there were real stories of people getting targeted for home robberies etc... based on their cycling pattern/schedule

or you can sign up for this free name randomizer thingy - some funny ones come out of it for the people I follow that use it but most of it is pure nonsense.

It's really entertaining like once. But I have legit unfollowed people for doing this.

False, afternoon ride is showing that you don’t care, that app is showing that you don’t care enough that you downloaded an app, set this up and got this random shit generator

When did this happen?

I always strive for fun, relevant, or witty ride names (Like and Subscribe to my channel!). Alliteration seems to be my go-to though. Definitely not as hard to think of ride names when you only ride once every couple weeks like me.
