Similar. I don't set an alarm these days - I figure if I sleep too late to get in a ride, I probably needed the sleep more - and woke up about 45 min too late to squeeze in a quickie.

To piss off people that are legitimately at the top of the boards? Looks like he did this a few times in the fall, too, so it pre-dates any segment paywall angst. Regardless, it's a weird mindset, to me.

I think that's long been the primary function for most, so I don't see any shark jumping. Obviously, serious cyclists are more interested in segments, leaderboards, improving vs themselves and vs others... but Strava has a lot of casuals. Do you think that you would have stopped looking at segments if they were still laid bare in front of you?
