1. Create public segment of said trail
2. See who pops up on the leaderboard
3. Comment on their ride asking them politely to set the ride to private
4. Delete segment

I've been doing this once in awhile, just to make sure a trail I had built wasn't showing up online.

I just did this again now and I was a bit surprised a very prominent person in the mountain bike community had a strava'd my trail.

some very prominent industry people regularly log rides on unmapped trails. Pretty f-n dumb.

Public shameing has worked well for several Norco riders in the past. Just do that, let the Internet handle the rest.

Is there a Vancouver in Taiwan?! I had no idea!!

Nothing sums up my life's achievements like my stuffed corpse, suplexing a cougar.

yeah it's dumb, but usually you just have to ask politely….

Name names and let the shaming begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is going big on a bike the only way to get you stoked on the sport? what happened to riding with your bros, travelling, and riding unique places, to get people stoked on riding?

fines are useless. there needs to be more punches to the throat.
