While this is fair enough, it's up to someone to follow/unfollow me if their annoyed by my commutes, not up to me to tailor what I do for their pleasure.
Yeah this is the key bit I think and why it annoys me that Strava doesn't allow you to filter others commutes from your feed. It's silly getting annoyed at people strava-ing their commutes when they're just using a feature of the app. It's fair enough to be annoyed by your feed being full of them and not being able to filter them out.

I'm thinking about this now. I thought private rides didn't count towards yearly totals, but they do (this is good news). My commutes are flat, so elevation challenges aren't contributed to, and I don't ride enough really to get close to the distance challenges for a month.
I guess it stemmed from undergrad when every commute was a game, my housemate and I would actively try and beat each other just about every day.
I do like the challenges generally though yeah, it gamifies the whole thing a little. I don't look at others' 'trophy cabinets' and would be surprised if anyone looks at mine, but I like getting the gran fondo badge, or 10k or whatever.
HOWEVER
