“New” cyclist

[Shakay]

I’m seeing pedals: not included on the Evans website. Hopefully you’ve got that covered.

Yeah on the reviews it says it’s a mistake. They do in fact, come with pedals!

A simple computer may be better than strava or similar? An app is all very well, but there is security to bear in mind - some cyclists have come home to find their other bikes in the shed have been stolen whilst they were out ! Too much online presence (eg photos of my bike collection on Facebook, and someone being able to track that I've left home can be a very bad thing

Strava let’s you set a privacy zone of up to several miles from your house or workplace , so nobody can see where you live or where your rides start. You can also keep your rides completely private, so that only you can see them, or you can allow people that you know and trust to follow you and make your rides available to your followers. All done in the security settings in Strava.

Did you see the other thread raising reports

... – was able to keep tabs on individuals who were exercising on the bases, even those who have applied the strongest possible account privacy settings.

My settings flag my rides as "completely private" yet 3rd party external apps can get at then no problems. The privacy zones are better in that regard but for me tended to put my departure/arrival at the edge of the zone so each ride was safe but look ar accumulated rides and not so safe (in a rural setting).

People could just as easily follow you home to find out where you live and come and steal your bike.

I’ve been on Strava for 10 years and not had any such problems.

Yes, very cheap pedals that most people put on a shelf in the shed or throw in the bin.
