Following Riders on Strava Just Got More Fun

Following/follower has quickly become a hit on Strava. It allows members to keep up with other riders’ activities on Strava. In our release today we added email notification: when you follow riders on Strava you will now receive a single, daily email digest of interesting activities uploaded to Strava by the riders you follow. Interesting activities are defined as:

You can click through to activities you are interested in viewing on Strava directly from the email. This is a simple way to stay on top of the highlights of what your friends (and rivals) are doing each day. For now, receiving emails is automatic. We’ll be enhancing the following/follower feature set further in coming releases, including allowing users to control frequency and scope of notifications regarding the riders they follow. You can read more about following/follower on our support site: http://bit.ly/b2sxDh

Inviting your friends to Strava also got easier today. When you click on Invite your Friends, we now give you the option of accessing your Gmail contacts. If there is a match between an email address in your contacts and someone already on Strava we’ll first ask you if you want to follow that rider. In a second screen you can check the email address of your contacts that you want to invite, customize a message and hit “invite”. Coming soon… invite your Facebook contacts.
