I'm still on the fence. I do sort of like the leaderboards. The Elevate (formerly stravistix) extension does give me some very general info about a particular effort compared to my PR, but I'll miss having a more detailed view of my efforts over time.

As I've posted elsewhere, for me, Strava is mainly social media, and I don't see any other app that has as broad membership. I'd say 80% of my riding cohort is on Strava. I like knowing what they are up to. People here kind of laugh at being interested in "collecting kudos", and I see the point, but I find the social dimension of Strava to be richer than that - maintaining contact and being supportive. This has been particularly true during the pandemic. I'm not out riding with my friends, but I'm glad to see that they are getting out - or alternatively, I can be concerned when dedicated riders seem not to be getting out.
