Strava has announced an update that gives athletes the ability to add gear to their profiles via the mobile app, specifically shoes and bikes. According to the company, this update ‘brings a long-requested web feature to mobile, creating parity between surfaces.’
This new feature follows on from recent app updates, such as the Beacon safety feature and more flexible privacy settings.
Giving further background, Strava stated…
‘For runners, walkers, hikers, it’s not always common knowledge among new/experiential runners that shoes have a shelf life. Cushioning, shock absorption and stability decrease over time and can cause unnecessary aches and pains or even injury.
‘For cyclists, mileage can be useful to track, helping to plan upgrade/maintenance schedules, or just for reflection, to influence future purchases.’
The addition of gear, such as shoes and bikes, brings a web-only feature to mobile. Strava app users can now simply navigate to Profile > Gear > Add.
