“Now, do you think that the “Strava Community” might have had an effect on the behavior of this cyclist? You Make The Call.”

You think that the idea of Strava affecting this person’s behavior is out of bounds? I don’t.

Didn’t read that Wiki page in the first place.

Actually, what _you_ think is entirely irrelevant. [Pwned!]

So you’re “calling me” on what? I think that Strava affects people’s behavior. Do you think Strava played a role in the death of Sutchi Hui? Or Kim Flynt?

Let’s see here, I’ll add you to the list of unhappy readers, along with the Strava dude whose co-worker at a tech co. was killed on Strava two years ago, along with the O’Melveney law firm worker(s) with equity(?) in Strava.

We’ll just have to wait to see how those wrongful death / homicide cases work out, don’t you think?

What you think is entirely irrelevant.

And you certainly did attempt to link the YouTube video with the Strava segment. And when you got called on it you couldn’t come up with a single valid reason for linking then, other than what you think.

I think that Strava influenced the real life behavior of Chris Bucchere, who has a trial coming up.

I think that Strava influenced the real life behavior of Kim Flynt, who is now dead.

I didn’t say that the Hyde Street KOM dude posted his video.

Did people do this kind of thing before Strava? I don’t know. There was the 22nd Street Bomb, before, as well, where Chris Bucchere and others would ride down one of the steepest streets in town over and over. IMO, their behavior was influenced by Strava.

Strava kills, right?

Just because someone rode the same section of road at the same pace doesn’t mean he posted it to Strava. It certainly doesn’t even get you in the ballpark in your claim that they are related.

I hope if the case goes to trial that the jury sticks to facts and actual provable relationships rather than the innuendo you’ve posted here.

This might help:

I think you are guilty of the first three fallacies (at the least).

I should have said the timing matches up. And it’s what you used to get when you would type Hyde Street Bomb into the YouTube. Keywords?

Are you saying that the Hyde Street Bomb is still up even now after the lawsuits? Jesus Christ, cheese and rice.

Oh yeah, I made a Strava for cars. The first segment from my “community” was 2nd Street to 5th Street on Market. The KOM was 35 seconds but then it was beat by a dude going 75 mph and then he hit somebody and then I was worried about getting sued so I lawyered up and changed the TOS for Strava for Cars in a cryptic CEO Statement. Good times.

The video was posted July20, 2011 and the KOM in your blog is dated Jan. 05, 2012.

A quick review of the riders shown in the leaderboard show that none rode around the time of the youtube video.

Now none of that is proof, I can’t tell when the video was taken, only when it was posted, and it doesn’t look like anyone actually rode that segment at that time.

What if there were a Strava for cars? There isn’t, and that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re not even talking about cycling. The question is, is Strava responsible for the behaviour of their users and user generated content on their site?

What if there were a Strava for cars? Let’s race to see who can get the best time from this 7-11 to that 7-11. If somebody gets run over, then there could be liability for Strava For Cars.

Strava is liable for its stupid behavior, sure.

I mean, they’re being sued now, right? We’ll see who wins…

Really, you just want a corporation to be liable for stupid behaviour.

If they are running the lights, they would exceed 19 MPH. What is it?
