That would be ideal solution but for someone that cycles there is no alternative social app. There are great alternatives for tracking your fitness, progress, routes and stats but from social perspective everyone is using Strava. Sometimes you don’t have a choice as some companies using it exclusively to track group efforts and if you want to take part of charity events this is it. The same goes with virtual events where group is tracked via their activities in Strava towards some goal (usually climbing or distance).
There was another issue few weeks back that allowed researches to use API’s to get someones precise route coordinates even when map visibility settings where disabled. The only way to prevent someone from getting your location is not to record it (start recording further away from your home).
