 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Well I have to admit to being a bit hasty in Following someone on Strava.
It was a twenty minute impromptu encounter as we both were going about our individual rides with plenty of chit chat to bide the time. Couple of days later he gave me a kudos and a congratulatory message. I replied and then Followed him.
The problem is he didn't Follow me and now it's distorting my Following:Followed ratio. Additionally I have to say his activities are pretty insignificant and neither inspire or entertain me. So is this good enough reason to Unfollow him? I don't want to offend him.

I'm sorry. I'll try to get out for a more gnarly ride this weekend. 🙂
Seriously? Following:Followed ratio???
Following: followed ratio? Um think you might just need to not worry about it....is this a troll?
Wtaf are you on about?
Erm.. I don't really know what to add here.
I unfollowed Brandon Fairclough because on the odd occasion we'd rode the same section he was unsurprisingly much quicker than me and snaps me out of my dream that when I grow go I'll become a WC racer. I'm 40 next month.
How would even know if you unfollow him?
Surely you don't compare your followers to how many you follow?
Ignoring trollage - surely as they haven't reciprocated by following they don't give a shit about you so unfollow the barsteward - but just so they know give 1 last kudos and message letting them know.
That'll hurt them! Or not.

it's distorting my Following:Followed ratio.
I'm just interested how bad my 0:1 ratio makes me look. 🙂
He does doesn't live in Stoke-on-Trent does he?
No...well I don't think so but we weren't riding round there at the time
it's distorting my Following:Followed ratio.I'm just interested how bad my 0:1 ratio makes me look.
That's OK. It's when it's something like 9:0 when it starts to look bad and you need to reassess your approach.
This is a joke right?
People worry about this sort of shit?!? 😕
The problem is he didn't Follow me and now it's distorting my Following:Followed ratio.
That's gotta be a piss take, right? Right....? 😕

might be a mistake

I don't even know what this means. I know it isn't a "problem" though.
As in life, be very careful about the company you keep.
Awesome trolling, DT would be proud
Unfollow him, I'm sure he will appreciate it. Especially if he ever finds this thread.

You do know there is a real world out there not on Strava.
Arrange to meet for a ride, then don't turn up. Give an odd excuse.
Repeat, with excuses getting more and more odd.
That'll teach him.
(oh, and I think your humour is too subtle for many on here)
Sad ****s Racing Against Virtual Aresholes.
I needed to post that to equalise my post to post ratio between the bike and chat forums.
Following:Followed ratio
Where can I find this, or is that just a Premium feature?
If only Strava users "followed" others they have a genuine interest in what they get up to. 😉

Bit like your posts. Get a ****ing life you dweeb.
OP probably see's himself as some sort of "Influencer"...

Wow, what a thread. 🙄
Anyway, more importantly Strava related....I did a ride yesterday (1st one in 5 weeks) & Strava said I'd done 17.9 miles. I thought I'd stopped it at the end & saved it but it 'auto paused' it, which I didn't realise till I got home. So now It's saved the ride as 32 miles & a much higher average speed.
can I delete the bit when I drove home? 8)
Keep it, free miles. Any kom's?
This is where the net sucks for getting across subtle sarcasm.lol
If the op is actually serious I really do live in a different, parallel world these days.** 😀
As I suspect I do every time I look at the news...
Keep it, free miles. Any kom's?
No idea but my top speed was about 60mph!
Additionally I have to say his activities are pretty insignificant and neither inspire or entertain me
That's because since you started following him he keeps his best rides private 😉
Nice, albeit delayed, sequel to the last occasion the OP started a thread.
I drop anybody whose KoM:Out of the top 10 ratio is too low - unless they're over 1,000km per month.
I've a reputation to uphold; they have to earn an endorsement from me
Multiply wind speed by angle of wind direction, if result greater than number of miles ridden in past [day][week][month][year]* by undesirable-followee then unfollow.
*delete as appropriate
I used to keep a tally of how many kudos I gave out to each person, and how much they gave me, in an aim to make sure I wasn't being exploited for kudos, but the spreadsheet was getting a bit unmanageable as I made more Strava friends. Thankfully Strava have made a tool to handle all that for me:
