That is why you used your Strava Account. So that all you had
to do is erase your phony milelage and you can claim you never
posted that. But everyone saw it. Too bad for you.

 
Wrong.  It's easy enough to edit a Strava ride using the "crop"
command.  I had to do that on my Friday trudge, where I forgot to stop
logging and ended up with some rather impressive walking statistics on
the way to a lavish Chinese lunch.

However, it's rather difficult to fake a ride in Strava.  There are
instructions available for how it might be done, but the few I've read
don't look very easy or reliable.

Besides, why would Zen Cycle want to do that?  There's no prices,
acclaim or notoriety for doing it.  There are also people who would be
happy to report anything suspicious.  It's just not worth the risk.
 
Tom, if you want to accuse someone of cheating, I suggest you provide
some evidence.

This must be another of youer really bright days. All you have to do isw turn your Garmin on and drive a course in your car which Flunky clearly did.

I live in the deep dark forest, where there aren't too many "really
bright days".  Right now, it's 5.2 watts/meters^2.  Fortunately,
things do look brighter at around noon.

I don't own a Garmin cycling computer.  I use a phone (Moto G Power
2020) and the free Strava app:
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.strava>
I'm also wondering if you really had sensors for each of your 15(?)
bicycles or if you moved one or two sensors between bicycles as
needed.  Of course, you recalibrated each sensor when you moved it.

I have driven away in my car and forgotten to turn off the app.  It
happens more often than I care to admit.  I solved that problem by
hanging a small sign over my steering wheel with a reminder. 

I always crop the ride data to eliminate the part where I forgot to
turn off the data logger.  I usually walk (not ride) in the morning
and do any necessary edits on my home computer a few hours later.  If
you want to see my data before I edit it, I usually walk on Fridays
from 9:30am to about 11:30am PDT and make the necessary edits
somewhere between 3pm and 10pm PDT.

Could you remind me why you closed your Strava account and deleted all
your saved data?
