Regardless of whether Strava exists, many riders will try and go fast on descents as it can be fun. You don't have to enjoy going fast and that's fine but some do.
Even Strava thinks downhill segments are lamer than others...see, you can't set a goal for a downhill segment.
This segment is ineligible for a segment goal because it has an average downhill grade of less than -0.25%.
