I doubt Strava encourages reckless cycling, it just helps document peoples stupidity.
Which is a personal opinion and anecdote, but the courts are very much out on this, as are others. Whether or not it encourages reckless cycling is impossible to quantify given the lack of data pre-Strava, but it's certainly the opinion of enough pundits, bystanders, those involved in incidents, that it may have encouraged more reckless behaviour.
I think it's one of those things that given enough time, we'll have more of a clue. But certainly whilst we can't say it does, we also can't say it doesn't.
