Strava introduces Club Posts feature

The all-conquering cyclists' social network has made the Clubs section more engaging, allowing admins to post content that appears in the notifications feed of their members

As an extention of the Clubs section on Strava, admins can now share a variety of posts with club members including announcements, questions, stories, photos, routes and segments, articles, product reviews, and other content.
 

Once posted, the content will now appear in club member’s Strava feed as well as in the Posts section of the club, so users don't have to click through in order to see notifications. If you have your own popular Strava Club, they will now even verify your page twitter-style with a tick if it's gained a suitably high profile on the platform. 

Cycling app of the week: Strava

Tour de France pros to follow on Strava

​Strava actually introduced Club Posts in beta to a limited number of clubs last year, and saw greater engagement from those who saw the posts and more activity in the clubs themselves, therefore the function has been rolled out across Strava in web and app form. Strava recently saw its billionth shared activity and has more than 160,000 active clubs.

Strava say that Club Posts is "the latest addition to Strava’s social platform, and another step toward making Strava the comprehensive home for athletes to share content with each other, get inspired, and discuss relevant topics with other athletes"... i.e, they're continuing to ensure cycling and running enthusiasts use Strava as a one-stop shop for all their sports-related social media, rather than use Facebook!   

You can find out more information about Strava Club Posts here.

Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

Being a member of a Strava 'club' isn't obligatory. If you don't like what you start to receive, simply opt out of the 'club'. It's not difficult, is it?

If that happens I'll stop linking my rides to it and just use Garmin connect.
