I use Strava a great deal, both for my own rides and keeping up with what my cycling friends are up to. The segments KOMs and such are a little interesting, but very far from the features that matter to me.
It's a place to keep a record of my rides. I used to keep detailed spreadsheets, and now I needn't bother.
It's a place to help me figure out (and remember the names) of the new people on various group rides.
It's a place to keep track of what my cyclist friends are doing, and also to communicate with them. (I do wish they would add a DM feature).
