On my strava Kom/CR tab there are two climbs that I am the only person to have done, has someone created these but not done them?

Also, I have no idea what the max power and effort things are about, I'm sure for the first 30 rides nothing showed, yet now it's giving me these numbers and I don't know what they mean.

Can anyone shed some light?

Strava auto-creates some segments if they are climbs over a certain height/length.

I see, cheers. One of them was a long push.

That's interesting. I was wondering about this too. I have one KOM, and it's in a stupidly remote place. Only two of us have done it (on Strava, of course), and I assume the other guy stopped for a flask of tea or something, because I walked up it and he was way slower than me.

I couldn't for the life of me think why anyone would create a Strava segment when they stop for a flask of tea. It makes much more sense now.

Also, if they keep their ride private, or delete their account they won't show up any more - but the segment exists still
