This. This right here.

Anyone who thinks Strava is somehow taking away from their "riding experience" is fooling themselves. Track your rides or don't. It truly is your prerogative. But every time one of these threads pops up, there's that contingent that espouses the notion that cycling is somehow "more pure" if done with no electronic tracking. Those people can take their opinions and put them right back up whichever wind hole they fell out of.

I don't race, I'm not in training, but I like numbers. Strava + Stravistix is fantastic. So many numbers. I don't need to track HR, power, or any of it. But I want to. Isn't it wonderful when we can do the things we want and it has zero impact on other people's lives? Sadly, the non-Strava folks are becoming the BF vegans. You know how to tell if a person doesn't use Strava? Easy, they'll let you know at every possible opportunity.
