I don’t care about “KOMs”, but it looks easy enough to annoy the least amount of people yet getting to fully log own rides. I am looking forward to the day when SL style emtb riders start complaining about the full power emtbs stealing all KOMs. Or the latter complaining about powerful classless emtbs assisted over 25kmh with over 250W (cont).
And when big data company Strava inevitably start adjusting scores and position based on given assistance at any time (somewhat like their “grade adjusted pace”) to “correctly” compare fitness/übermenschability/steroid supplements. And when they also merge categories “ride” and “ebike ride” (and its new sub categories since then) and the last militaristic analog bike holdouts won’t mind getting in on where the action is because by that time their veiny monster thighs just want blood any which way.
At the same time the emtb community is still obsessing about emtbs at a component level suitable for demolition machinery (with authentic supercar designer levers in materials manipulated on a molecular level) for which emtb that has the best power-weight-energy-slackness-MulticoreGigahertz-ratio (as the high-end (incl optional autopilot) reaches the price level of a nuclear sub). In the end we leave Strava for sites where neutral unbribable AI robots ride all emtbs through a committee designed standard trail in an artificial vacuum environment to constantly compare pure emtb performance, rather than rider fitness (which, lets face it, was just an excuse to dive into this rabbit hell hole in the first place).
Phew. I only log for my own sake, thank you
