Got pretty quick answer from Strava
Sheila Fretwell, Mar 3, 10:47 AM:Hello Charles,
We see the need for more age categories above 65+. There is also a related request to divide the age categories into 5-year groups: https://strava.zendesk.com/entries/26348695-Create-Age-Groups-in-5-...
To do both of these requests requires a large chunk of work by our engineers to redesign the infrastructure to support the changes to segment filtering. So, it's a project we'll have to carefully plan and prioritize. I've very sorry but I'm don't have any timelines around when this will happen.
Best,
Sheila

So now Strava is making two large groups unhappy. I answered above by suggesting they cut the work in half - pick the easy one and at least make one group happy. But I suspect nothing will happen. Change like this only happens when revenue losses impact the bottom line. So I will make a small statement/protest and drop premium service.
