I want my competitors to see my data, so they might be lulled into taking the entire season off, at which time they could still thrash my tush.
Strava for me is more a social thing. I enjoy seeing what my peers are up to. I wish more people would take advantage of the Instagram features and snap some photos of their rides. I try to take one or two each ride, although my common routes are getting pretty snapped out by now.
