I like Strava. It's a great way to see what routes the guys on the team are taking, I've found a lot of great rides like that. Sometimes the best way from A to B on a bike isn't so obvious, a bit of local knowledge is great. I don't think anyone really thinks it's particularly 'meaningful'. That seems like a straw man argument to me, but maybe it's just the crowd I roll with...
