I think this just came online this week from reading the Strava forums. Someone suggested this in March 2023 and it is now live. Shows up when you check “commuting” as activity type.

I really like that as an addition. Although I have to admit I didn’t even know you could mark an activity as a commute…
It doesn’t show it for me.
They don’t know whether I would have commuted by car or bus, nor the route. A nonsense stat.
I wonder if I can edit that out to add in something useful
I love that
Is this an electric bike, or are you just jacked?
Don’t see it.
Great idea! Can’t see it on mine yet but I guess it’s rolling out. Would be interested to see my yearly totals!
How much CO2 per km do they assume?
Is it simply distance multiplied by some CO2/km factor?
I wish they’d change the ride type away from “commuting” to something more like “transportation”. Commuting implies going to work, but when I ride to a friend’s house, I’m not “commuting” there.
Dang, I gotta go see what mine is.
What a terrible mishmash of metric and imperial units. Why haven’t people learned that this is a [recipe for disaster](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-oct-01-mn-17288-story.html)?
Wow 🤩! Direct Message next? I hope 😂
I wish it would let me auto trash stuff as commute since that’s 90% of my rides.
I bike instead of going by metro. Doubt I really save much co2.
I love the new feature. But I wish it let us customize. Since my driving alternative is a Toyota Tundra I’m saving more fuel by biking than somebody whose alternative is a Civic. I would like to see a more accurate representation of what I’m actually saving by skipping the meat cage.
Does it come with a Fart-O-Meter?
Is this only the paid subscription?
It seems to display if you check workout. My century to Putney for biltong and drywors saved 22kg of co2. But I guess that was negated with the consumption of cured beef
I bet they don’t measure when I fart during my commute.
Cool (I love stats like this), but friendly reminder that the idea of a personal carbon footprint was popularized by British Petroleum as a way of shifting the conversation away from systemic change.
Strava tryna stay relevant.
Can I use this to increase my social credit score?
15KM ride could save 3.16KG CO2 ? that’s a lot of CO2 for such a short ride, I was expecting 30gram Co2
