I 'get' Strava when I channel my closeted former road rider self. XC racers
would be the same - or runners. If your sport consists primarily of propelling
yourself somewhere, it's human nature to start wanting to go faster, further,
etc…and like everything else, some people take it too far. But if you think
it's a completely foreign concept to you, let's remember that innovations such
as lighter wheels and better suspension systems cater to the same mindset.
Faster, further, or for more fun; whatever motivates you, you do what you can
to enhance the experience.
