Before Strava, there are plenty of wreckless and dangerous riders, most of which are racers. The typical amateur noob would stop at red lights. Most of the racers I rode with in Cali would blow lights and stop signs without even twitching. They would look both ways but they would only stop if cars were approaching. PRE STRAVA.

Lets fast forward to real racing and training. What the hell do you think racers have to do to get a 20min FTP test in? It's called dangerous riding. Is Strava involved? NO.

If you are gonna tell me that a 15min effort up a climb or a 2 minute descend is more dangerous than a 20min or 60min FTP test on the road then I know you're trolling or mentally challenged.
