I doubt you'll change your mind. Fortunately, I don't really care, since the court decision is in favor of my opinion.

No, in the land of people who don't want to be ruled by WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN! Emotional appeals are worthless in a debate.

Not everyone sees a reasonable ground for viewing Strava in a similar light.

And emotional appeals are the retreat of those who know they don't have a legitimate argument.

I don't think that's the case here, though. Strava won't cause anyone with any sort of sense to go kill themselves or someone else. It's not a flaw in Strava, it's a flaw in a few users.

Google may only use it to estimate trip times. My Nuvi displays it, and turns current speed red if it's above the limit (or the info it has on the limit).

I'm not the only one annoyed by your fuzzy goalposts on the speed limit topic.

So, once again, you don't think any speed limits are unnecessarily low? Going 66mph down the highway is necessarily in "absence of good judgement"?

I was surprised to see your name pop up. You don't have to register, plate, and insure your bike, though, which illustrates a pretty big difference between the two.

Strava for cars is not a good analogy to Strava for bicycles. The laws, and consequences, of operating each are too disparate for that to be a valid comparison. Give it up.

Yeah but... bullying is verbal assault. Strava isn't. There's no legitimate purpose, whatsoever, to bullying, which is usually the litmus test for the First Amendment.
