  • Had to flag about 5 for various reasons (almost all of them at 2min/km or faster) before I found the first one that looks genuine.

    For big climbs like ^ it's just a game for some people, they purposely put up fast times (either from virtual or just faked) just to be top of the leaderboard for a while.

    Playing whack-a-mole on them is boring as they just keep popping up. At least that's not a problem on some random shitty short local segment in SW London.

    Turns out Strava cannot distinguish virtual rides from real ones

    They probably can semi-reliably, but it's easier to just leave it to the great unwashed masses to do that for them.

    this exactly. we'll just keep on flagging then...
