    Oh, I just don't bother to start Strava before I leave in the morning (my phone is generally at the bottom of my pannier well before I leave anyway), plus I don't want to clog up my friends feeds with it. I do currently manually enter it into my running ahead log, and may start doing that in Strava (probably just marking it as private) if I don't discover a better workout log app to use.

    Honestly I only have like 5 friends on Strava so I don't know why I worry about clogging up their feeds, lol.

    I'm a big fan of SportTracks desktop software. Their mobile app actually isn't out yet, but should be released within a few weeks.

    I use Garminconnect but also bike journal. Bike journal is free and has monthly summaries. Also if you pay a nominal fee you can track components (chains, tires, etc).

    I use cyclemeter to log my workouts. It's not free but it works well. I currently use my phone as a bike computer and it works well. I think I get less focused on my mileage and speed and focus on cadence more this way (because it helps both of the former).

    I use bikerides.com. It doesn't offer most of the functionality you are looking for, but it's fun if you mainly just want to keep track of mileage and record whatever else about your rides you want, so you can go back and recall them later. It's also motivating as you can see where you stand vis-a-vis the other members. I'm proud that I'm #9 out of 134 riders in mileage so far this year, and my DH is #2! It's been helpful in getting me out there for a ride when I really don't wanna!

    Ha, Emily, the reason you like that app is the reason I quit Bike Journal. It was de-motivating to me to see where I was compared to others; at that point I think there was a TE group on BJ and I was riding about half as much as the others, despite riding between 2,500 and 3,000 miles that year.

    I understand! Most years my ranking has been quite low when I've bothered to track on bikerides.com. I was working so didn't get to ride nearly as often -- or just wasn't as into it. But this year, since I knew we'd be traveling in the south all winter (and I'm retired), I figured I'd play along since I could get miles in when most people couldn't. Heheh. Since this is a big biking year for both DH and me (tho much bigger for him -- he just hit 4000 miles in 2014 yesterday!), we are enjoying being up high in the ranks.
