The biggest con of Strava is people compete with each other for time records on these paths, and it can promote unsafe riding around pedestrians, dog leashes and young children on bikes.
Yeh I see that a lot, living right off the Greenway here. But you know what, I think that Strava is unjustly maligned for it. I can be out for an afternoon and see a dozen yahoos shouting down kids on trikes and baby bikes, double passing, cutting the left side on blind corners and so on, and later see not a one of those rides on Strava. I think it's just the way some people are, with or without Strava.
