Strava users got creative

[47of74]

Strava users, as you might expect, have gotten creative naming segments.

Social network for athletes Strava has quickly found many, many fans since being introduced in 2009. As well as uploading your cycling data from your GPS computer, part of Strava’s fun is seeing how you compare on ‘segments’ of hills, roads or routes.

These segments are created by users, and you are free to call them whatever you like. For most people, this would mean ‘High Street’ or ‘Green Hill Road’… but for others its a licence to get creative with their segment naming.

Some of the names given to segments are hilarious, so we’ve collected together 12 of the most oddly-named segments.

I thought naming the part of the road that went past the water treatment plant "Sewer Gas? DON'T DROP THAT!" was creative but it's nothing compared to "Uncle Pervy’s Secret Tickle Fight" or "Agnew took a dump here and used leaves to wipe his ass."
