Guilty of trying. Still couldn't catch the fast guys. Can't blame me for trying ;-0

Kit doesn't match
Funny. I knew that a friend was planning a big ride, so I checked Strava later in the day. The route ended in a bunch of KOMs on in-town segments. A little zooming showed as I expected -- ride ended in the ER. Broken collarbone.

Yes you can flag it "Done in a vehicle"
I wish they'd add one "Done in extreme tailwinds". We had a weekend of 30-50 MPH winds here in South Florida last month, some idiot went out on a bunch of westbound segments collecting KOMs that he otherwise would never have achieved if not for the tailwinds

ok ill admit it, we set one in a car a few years back, not fast enough to be unbelievable but fast enough to be hard to beat.. Then we sat back and watched all summer as people turned themselves inside out trying to take it. Sometimes you have to lighten things up..

This is a good example:

Completely illegal to have a bike in there, not that anyone would ever try. But there's good backcountry skiing in there.

That option would be nice for setting the movement threshold, too. Strava is terrible at filtering out GPS jitter when stopped. I can rack up a mile from jitter on a lunch stop. Seems like the default threshold is more geared towards walking/hiking.
