Onboarding and UI are unclear after signup
From 3 comments
I don't always scroll, but because the images were cut off on the bottom of the page it was obvious to me that I needed to scroll. It may be a difference in configuration? People…

ken on HNThe existence of this might finally push me to purchasing a bicycle. Regarding the need for a bike computer and power meter would it be possible to include a few recommendations…

FigBug on HNThe Strava upload interface is ok, but I find it slow. I think Garmin has a web plugin you can access from JavaScript, not really sure, I've never looked into it. I've thought…
