In a whirlwind of poop, riders across the world who have
created Strava segments are shitting bricks.
In the slipstream of a lawsuit surrounding a segment in Berkeley
California’s Tilden Park where a rider died allegedly trying to capture the Strava
KOM virtual crown prize, riders who have ever created a Strava segment are
replacing the chamois in their bike shorts with adult diapers. They are remarkably super cushy.
A
Velo News article states, “Two
years ago, William “Kim” Flint lost his life descending a hill in Berkeley’s
Tilden Park, braking suddenly to avoid a car and losing control of his
bike. According to his family, Flint was
chasing a new fastest time on the popular cycling website Strava.” People commenting on the story who only wish
to be identified by made up names and silly looking avatars contend Flint’s
family are a bunch of stupid heads for suing Strava.

The family and
the lawyer should both be ashamed.
The state
should take down all county line signs because they may cause bike riders to
sprint and crash.
Cyclists who use Strava now fear
it’s only a matter of time before lawyers figure out that segments are not
created by mysterious evil genies. No doubt, riders
listed in the top 10 on leaderboards are also totally freaking out and feeling
like total douches at the thought that their good fortune from a mother of a
tailwind, a car-free day or the draft of fast group ride could goad others into
riding beyond their physical and environmental limitations.
The people who left the app
running on their phone while traveling in their car and accidentally
posting personal bests from San Francisco to San Diego haven't slept in two years and were last seen huddled together rocking in
the fetal position under a tree.

"Lawyer feels shame" - don't expect to see that as a headline any century soon! ;-)
