One of my big frustrations. They can't even figure out that I put my bike on the roof of the car and drove away. My heart rate goes down, yet I'm going 40-60 miles per hour... and Strava still thinks I'm riding my bike. They rely on other users to flag my activity as bogus because I busted some random KOM.

It should be reasonably straight forward to suggest auto-cropping, particularly when I start and stop a ride in the same place. This is one of the reasons I gave up Strava, they were solving for issues I don't have (I don't need a bike/ social network), and ignoring the big obvious ones I do.

I have lost a couple 30 mile rides because location tracking died for a minute and they had me going 90mph. Did I get a PR on the dozen other segments? Who knows.
you could probably have salvaged those rides by cropping them.
