6.Become the KOM

Getting KOMs is the constant challenge. But there are ways to do it: do not choose long routes, analyze them to establish the warm-up phases before reaching the segment, learn very well where the segment begins and where it ends and, most difficult, give everything to try to get a good position or even the KOM.

7.Strava Beta, only for developers

Strava Beta is renamed as Strava Labs in this application. It is that typical developing mode that only some privileged and anxious of the experience are involved. That test bench in which to test all the new things that Strava presents. News, innovations, updates.

Other related tools that often take more and better advantage than Strava itself. Relive, for example, creates a 3D visualization of your route in a very visual way, allowing you to share it later on social networks. Veloviewer is another similar but about analysis of the data that you have produced in your route. Klimat adds climate information. There is an interesting list, explore it and make the most of Strava.
