Is the bacon butter flavour vegan? Been following the vegan rider and besides sniping MTB KOM's on a gravel bike, I also want to follow his nutrition advise.
Some sound advice here folks. Although, you forgot to mention: 1) you should use a TT bike with disc wheel, pro level skinsuit and overshoes 2) leave the saddle bag at home, take off the bottle cages 3) sacrifice the rest of the ride in order to stay fresh for the segment, i.e. ride at 100w until you get to the segment, then ride so hard that you rip your muscles to pieces then can barely limp home Trust me folks, KOMs are what I do.
Dylan this was freaking hilarious!!! I’m still laughing because so much of it is true. I hate those email notifications. Our egos get a little burnt when they arrive. Anyone who gave thumbs down for this are outside right now trying to get their KOM back as well!!! Hahah! Keep up the good work D!!!
Thanks a lot, BHD. My wife overheard your comments about Strava and spending on bikes and equipment and shot me a dirty look with an ironic laugh. I've been telling her those purchases were for safety reasons. You blew my cover.
Great video, couldn't stop laughing. One strategy that my sensei BHD forgot is that the best way of gaining KOM's is by making some obscure segments that are in areas where not a lot of people ride, or some areas where people usually slow down. For instance, the last 50m of a very steep climb, followed by the next 500m of the downhill, riders will be so caught up in the actual hill KOM that they will not see your KOM.
BHD, you overlooked one of the easiest ways to stack up KOMs. Create your own segments! The best way to ensure dominance and longevity is to create meandering figure-8 style segments in your neighborhood that no one would ever ride. Of course, don't ride hard when riding them the first time, then pick up the pace a tad the second time. BOOM! Another KOM that will never be taken away that you can stack up on your others for your end of year report! Woot! :)
Thank god you did this video. I mean, Dylan is very knowledgeable and all when it comes to geeky science and statistics in cycling, but what the heck does he know about what really matters? Dude does recovery rides for crying out loud!
“The fatter and slower you are, the lower the traffic on that segment needs to be in order to get the KOM.” Bro, why did you have to make it personal like that. 😐
You nailed it! We all get a little carried away sometimes! Enjoyed the light hardness and message! Was not feeling it today and needed a few laughs as well as a reminder to just enjoy the ride!
thanks a in-depth science based study into a vital cycling topic !!! My only KOMs the first is on a road that is so bumpy and potholed no one else bothers to ride it, the second is along a beach that can only be ridden twice a year due to the tides I am so proud of that, a KOM no one can really challenge !!! but as you say they all count
Mr. Johnson, this was the most on point, brilliantly ironic thing I have ever seen you do! I have friends that at 74 years old, still break up group rides to hit a local Strava segment. I purposely stay off Strava just to keep them guessing. Kudos to you sir!!
Rumor has it, when Phil Gaimon is low on inspiration and needs that extra umph to go chase another Kom, he tunes in and binge watches backwards that Dylan videos.
finally, a video about me! A couple of other tips/tricks: if you live in a snowy place like me, set your KOMs at the very end of riding season after all the cycle tourists have left. That way you won’t get any notifications on your KOMs until springtime...the other great way to “achieve” a KOM is to create one on Strava...appreciate the lighter content, good job Dylan
Dylan man, holy cow... laughing so hard I actually shed a tear :). Priceless video, perfect!!!! Rock on man. Thanks for this one. Have a great day today!
"... and that your five minute max power is what a pro could easily ride at for three plus hours." You didn't have to come for me like that backwards hat Dylan, that's a deep cut
I don't know Dylan, but this video might be your BEST EVER on the topic of Strava! I laughed so many times! You nailed it, totally, about why we seek Strava KOMs. I don't focus on KOMs, I focus on PRs, but that's because I am nothing special in road cycling. Carry on the videos!!
I started with strava a little over a year ago and have been training a lot for races and after season end i have been going for a lot of KOMs. Got 158 in 2023 most of them require a lot of effort and right wind condition. Nothing feels better then getting that crown at your bike gps just as you make it. Im addicted :), got my fist of 2024 today after a few tries where i tied with 2 others for the KOM.
Omg I’m dead. This is hilarious. And yet... when I’m out on an endurance ride.. and someone passes me, that strava rage still kicks in 😂. It’s such a motivating and connection platform but has many downsides as you cleverly demonstrate. Keep making videos I am a massive fan and I recommend your clips to everyone I ride with unless they actually are pros. Then I don’t really ride with them anyway.. I just know them a bit , and they probably don’t know who I am anyway..
Nice video! 2 more tips for people interested: Ride at 3 am on busy segments, so you can skip red lights and pedestrians If all else fails, create your own segment! Make sure to click the "Refresh achievements" on your Strava activity after you create the segment, so people can see your crown!
This was right on!! Found myself rewinding in about 10 different spots of the video just to hear BHD make me laugh again..2 of my buddies teamed up and stole my 20.5 mile KOM on my backyard training ride and I laughed my ass off when it got snagged by a dude from UK on a TT bike LOL !!! Serves them right.
Best and funniest cycling upload for the last 12 months- so true.... Normal people never get close to a KOM but I am sure the motivation to just get out on your bike and enjoy a ride was a blue sky thought 💭 by strava. ALSO P.S. Loving this online competition (mine are bigger than yours) that the top four RUclipsr’s including , vegan rider and duranrider are going toe to toe.
Hey! I do ride a lugged steel bike with down tube shifters! Ha ha ha.. I forgive you. Really enjoy your channel. Keep it up Dylan.... Thankfully no Strava for me.
The "choose a busy" segment advice: on the greenway I ride often there is a segment called "the chicane". It is a series of fairly sharp and blind curves. I never have the nerve to fly around them because of kids on bikes, families taking up the whole path, etc... You will not see them in time to safely react. Yet, someone made it a Strava segment
Since where I live is really windy, there's literally no chance of KOMs if there isn't gigantic tailwinds.... So BHD is unironically right on that one.
The youtuber Jasper Verkuijl went strava hunting with hurricane level winds in the Netherlands!! He said it that any other way no one would get KOMs because the country is so flat :D
@@Biotico sounds about right. Very flat where I live, and the only 2 KOMs I've ever touched where on a day where there was gail force winds... I'm sure someone a lot faster than me wouldn't need that level of tail wind. But I don't think even lance in the 90s would be able to smash some of these if there was any type of headwind whatsoever.
Ha ha ha, backwards hat Dylan finally gets a full segment! I wonder what scientific Dylan Johnson has to say now? This is a great one Dylan, laughed the whole frickin time!!!!!
Hey! you can build your own segment and be King/Queen of that until someone takes it. I had QOM's and didn't realize I had them. Great vid! Had some good laughs!
You forgot to mention the ultimate way which always works for me. You have to find the least frequented path in the middle of nowhere and create a segment by yourself. You have to ride it slow for the first time as you'll get the KOM anyway being the only one on the segment. Then ride it a second faster every time you go out on your bike and it'll appear you get a KOM on every single ride you do.
Lol your awesome!!! That’s so it but I got to say when you get old it’s hard to get them... gotta use the wind! Keep up the great content and if you run a sale for coaching a nica rider let me know!
If it's a flat segment, all you have to do is wait until a hurricane blows through your area (in the right direction, of course) and you will be able to grab that KOM without even pedaling.
Well done. That was quite entertaining and hilarious at times. I lost a KOM by a lot last summer, by a lot, and my first thought was, another Fred forgot to turn his Garmin off on the drive home. Then discovered he was a tour rider vacationing here. One I’ll never get back 😆
It is good as a hobby driver to have at least 1 KOM. My self-defined Strava segment is over 80 km long and has over 800 vertical meters and many branches. Then, when I was over 50, I took my racing bike with top tires, just a large drinking bottle, latex inner tubes and a racing suit. Because only one other cyclist has loaded this segment on Strava in the last 5 years.
I have my personal rule for KOM: if you already have a KOM, don’t try improving it! It brings you bad luck. If you try you will hit a car, snap a chain, have a flat tire..
Thank you for your inciteful tips on how to become the king of Strava. I’ve taken notes on all the few I’m not employing at the moment and hope to take a few more KOMs from you very soon. Regards Rick 🤣
D-man... I'm commenting after 4mins in... This is why I'm sticking to my simple bike trainer and focusing on HR and Cadence. However, I'm taking your Lifting Science seriously and have up-scaled my home gym. I'm 60 and have high-hopes for 2022 using my Trek Domain-5 . What's Strava? I'm on TP. Thanks Bud!
My favourite ‘recovery’ rides involve recovering a KOM I’ve jus lost.
HAHA, amazing line dude, for sure!!! hahaa
Awesome!
Someone bring a man to this Oscar!
damn son, thats a bhD line if i've ever heard of one. well done
🤣🤣
I don't get why KOMs are so coveted, I got like 30 when I went on a ride yesterday. Would've gotten more but my car ran out of fuel
Hah, I thought you where going to say - your garmin ran out of power on the drive home from the Cafe.
Just get a ebike and ride boost everywhere and say it's a normal bike when uploading to Strava

"Safety reasons" That's a REALLY good one!
You can't put a price on your safety!
Ummm you forgot about my favorite strategy. Make every single ride you do it’s own segment so that you get a KOM every time you ride.
And make sure it is private so nobody can take that sweet KOM from you 😁
Had to watch this again, so many good tips. Took notes this time.

The most important tip is missing: Create Your own segment and be its king! :D
In my area, this is known as a KOMless shelter
And make sure it has a weird corner in it, so very few people will randomly complete the segment.

I find the best way to get kudos is to create my own obscure segments that others rarely ride...this makes me the KOM and legit.
By far the funniest!! I was waiting for that “that guy” to make his own video…
It´s good to mention that your valuable kom will probably be taken by an eletric weekend warrior 😂
Better get flagging 😂😂
Which is why your bike quiver should include a de-restricted E-bike.
