Don't take KOM's too seriously. Strava will catch data if recording was in your car and you can flag unrealistic times from cheaters, to get them deleted. But there are still loopholes. I do not cheat, and won't tell you how, but if I wanted to, I can beat any KOM, anywhere in the world, with a realistic time, while not leaving North Carolina.
If you don't believe me, send your best KOM link by PM and I will show you as a test.
