Connect your Strava to Facebook & Twitter with Facebook Connect and Twitter Integration

Using Facebook Connect you can now link your Strava and Facebook accounts. Look for the button “Login with Facebook” under the usual login area to get started. Once you do this, you can login to Strava with one click. You can also set preferences for automatically updating your Facebook account or Twitter page everytime you upload a ride. To do this, go to the Sharing tab under Edit your Account in the small nav bar. Or just click on the Facebook icon next to your name once you have turned on Facebook Connect.

Gear Management

Strava wants to help you keep in great shape- but not just you, your bike and bike components, too. If you have wanted to keep track of just how many miles you have on those tires or chain, we are building out some tools you should check out. On your home page, click on any one of your bikes to get started. You can enter as much or as little information as you like.  For more instructions on what’s there and how to use it, check out the new FAQs. Over the next several releases we will be improving the functionality and UI of this feature set so we encourage your comments on support.strava.com.

Other Improvements

We have added improved caching and fixed a few bugs (310XT upload issues, empty laps causing errors, empty trackpoints causing errors and more). In an effort to improve scalability as we add more athletes to Strava (e.g. fix intermittent memory issues when processing Garmin 500 files), we have started a migration of our server infrastructure to EngineYard. We should be bringing the power of cloud computing to you very soon.

Strava is hiring – we need you (or someone you know)!

We are looking for a front-end software engineer. If you, or someone you know is interested in learning more, check out the Jobs page on our blog. We’ll give a Strava t-shirt to anyone who helps us find a candidate we interview. If you introduce us to the one we hire, make that a full Strava kit and a subscription to Strava for life!

Enjoy and happy riding to all who can during these rainy (West) and cold (just about everywhere else) days.
