LOL. Guess I’m too old school and married.
Had an in-law who cheated on their spouse with someone they met in a cycling group. When sweaty spandex people get together to breathe hard, things just happen.

I’ve started getting some of that from Fitbit, which I haven’t used in a while. Obviously scam...

online for hook ups seems it is an invitation for trouble. Too many times I've read/heard & had to deal with friends that found themselves in a predicament. If it's your "thang", you be you & do your "thang" .

All trolling aside honestly I don’t see the issue with this.... obviously there is a difference between stalking and using the app to join clubs/communities and meet people in person.
I joined a hiking group on Meetup 3 years ago to meet people (not necessarily romantically; just to meet like minded people who enjoyed the same outdoor activities as me), and ended up meeting my significant other on a meetup. We’ve been together 2 1/2 years now.
There is nothing wrong with leveraging technology to locate other people, romantic or otherwise, that you might want to develop relationships with.
Just don’t be a sicko. Same rules of normal human engagement.

There's a convenient bench in the middle of nowhere on one of my MUPs. Why not just hang out there. LOL

Large tandem club.
As a single.
Where you can sweat together in unison - and close proximity.
edit: used tandems can be purchased affordably.

I imagine dating apps took a serious hit in the last 4 months due to so many places being shut down.
Strava as a dating app?...I guess why not...its apparently struggling to generate money as a cycling social app so take that to another level. Make it a jack of all trades master of none sort of app that will disappoint and frustrate everyone in some way.

I assume you mean add an option for people who want this and others who checked the dating box can see that you also checked it?
Otherwise it would just be creepy af.
