Just remembered about how the day I got my first cyclometer was the day I started heading to the steepest hill in the area for top speed runs. Could never quite get it up to 60mph, though I tried a whole lot of times.

Yeah, I love Strava and think it's in no way their fault. I'm glad that ruling came down that way. Whether looking for a payday or in a denial/grief cycle, some people look to blame other parties for the actions of their loved ones.
