I once tried DEPO out to see how it would look on Strava. I'd heard about the data spikes but they didn't seem to show in my trace.
I've seen a few recently, and when you really zoom in its obvious if someone has used it or not, but it depends how much they have sped the ride up by, 1% would be very hard to spot, 10% would be quite easy.Silver940 said:

Awesome. I reckon I could average 25mph for the commute with that bad boy.http://www.vivax-assist.com/en/produkte/technik/tw...

It will really depend if they attack the climbs. Most of the Surrey Climbs were not KOM'd in the Surrey Classic, Phil Gilbert was about 25 seconds away from the box Hill KOM when he attacked on it.
Some of the times are very fast set by local pros who have hit them on the right day and unless a full blow pro is giving it full beans lots of them won't fall I don't think. More likely it will be the flat ones where bombing along at 30 in the bunch is so much easier than anyone could ever do alone.

A clear lesson in not trusting Strava watts ha!

It's possible to circumvent that privacy, via the leaderboards, if you can find the rider you want on them. Just click on the time from the leaderboard and that particular ride will be viewable. I used that one to send a 'cease and desist' warning to a couple of 'trail diggers' who I caught digging on MOD land. I got no response, but at least they know they're being watched now.
I've also said a 'digital' "Hi!" to a couple of people I've identified via the StravaLabs ride playback site, but only folk I've actually met and spoken to on a ride. I'm not weird or owt
I've used it to hunt out choppers who sit on my wheel when I'm on my TT bike training and give them both barrels for it.-I've also said a 'digital' "Hi!" to a couple of people I've identified via the StravaLabs ride playback site, but only folk I've actually met and spoken to on a ride.

On road bike, I don't have an issue as such, but if I am training rather than dawdling I will do my best to drop them instead of drag them round the park or Surrey.
On a TT bike however, I am not near the brakes when in the extensions, I am training on fast roads, and I'm usually going faster than I would on a roadbike. The last thing I want is somebody I don't know on my wheel, or more likely half wheeling me as he's got no idea. The reasons it annoys me is because TT bikes are not THAT safe at the best of times on public roads, but if I need to stop, or take evasive action then the bloke behind me doesn't know I am not near my brakes. If he is half wheeling and I move right to dodge a hole then it all goes wrong very quickly. The fact its a £4500 frame also makes me nervous about randoms sitting 2 inches away from me.
As for doing it to other people, what is the point?
