Strava - resolving different units of measure for distance
My Strava settings are in miles but I'm wondering, if those I follow or those who follow me have their Strava set to kilometers, does the records of their activity convert their kilometer distance to miles and for them my miles to kilometers?

Re: Strava
Yes. Likewise for any clubs you're in, the admin will have set which units to display.

Hi PH, so are you saying that if one of my following shows a ride of 56 miles on MY dashboard and that person uses kilometers he's really done 56k?

No, the distance will be right but displayed differently. You see 56 miles they will have done ~90km.

I use miles but for the monthly challenges Strava converts it to kms.Strava automatically converts it to whatever each users preferences are.
So 10miles will be showns as ~16km etc or vice versa.
Eg my 103.5 miles shows up as ~166.5km on the Gran Fondo challenge.

Re: Strava
I'm old school and like miles, so my Strava is set to display miles and feet. I am amused when as a concequence Strava reports friends' swims in yards.
When I first saw it I rang my friend to see which pool he was swimming in and whether it was actually an old 'yards' pool.
