New Navigation for Strava

You will notice some big navigational changes on Strava today. Based on great feedback we received from our customer survey, we’ve started a redesign of Strava, and this is the first round of improvements. This post should help you get oriented to what’s new. If you have questions not answered here, just ask support@strava.com. Let us know what you think of this update and stay tuned for more improvements!

Summary — We’ve restructured the main site navigation into the following categories: Home, Rides and Athletes. Home is where you’ll find all the information and activity related to your account – friends, clubs and events you belong to and your profile. Rides is where you will find all your rides, and other Strava members’ rides, along with segments, efforts and other ride-related information. Athletes is the new location for leaderboards, and the place to search for other athletes on Strava.

Main Navigation — You will see two new main nav links: Rides and Athletes, which we will go into more detail on below. The Events and Leaderboard links have been removed from the main navigation. Events is now located in your Home section, and Leaderboard has been moved to the Athletes section. The Home and Upload main navigation links remain unchanged.

Secondary Navigation — The old secondary navigation bar has gone away. Each main page now has a unique set of secondary links. For example, under Home you now see the navigation links for Dashboard, Friends, Clubs, Events and Profile. Here is a summary of each of these under Home:

Dashboard: same view as the old Home with your activity bar chart and recent activities
Friends: view of people following you and people you follow with their recent activities
Clubs: all Clubs with summary stats on each
Events: all Events upcoming, current, and past
Profile: same set of screens as the old Edit your account for setting preferences for your account, plus Bikes for managing your bikes and gear

The Rides set of pages are new. Here is a summary of what you will find under Rides:

My Activity: all your activities with the ability to sort and filter them based on name, date, location and type

Favorites: the climbs, sprints and descents you have done most often

KOMs/QOMs: the climb, sprints and descents where you are the fastest

Ride Search: find rides and other activities by location, athlete name, date range, and type

Climb Search: find segments by location, athlete name, date range, and type

Athletes has the Leaderboard and a new page for Athlete Search where you can find people in Strava based on name and location.

The old secondary nav links not mentioned above can be found as follows:

Add Manual Activity: click on Upload >> Add Manual Activity

Share Your Rides: this is under Home >> Profile >> Sharing

Invite Your Friends: go to Home >> Dashboard and click the link to the right of your name

Strava Gear: click on Shop in the nav bar at the bottom of your screen

Turning off Email Feed of Friends’ Activities

Many of you let us know how much you are enjoying following your friends on Strava via the new once-daily digest of your friends’ activities. A few of you want to turn this email off and now you can. Go to Home >> Profile where you can set your preference to receive or not receive the daily digest email on your friends’ achievements. Don’t forget to click “Update” to save your changes.

Strava Group Rides

When you ride with 1 or more other Strava riders, you’ll notice an additional feature on the ride page.  You will see “Also on the ride:”  including list of other riders who joined you for at least part of the ride, along with links to take you to their version of the same ride.  More functionality coming soon…
