iBike Coach times

Post by prancingwombat »

Hi,

I've just downloaded iBike Coach app, not really sure why there are two apps anyway.

I like this app because of it's ability to upload to Strava and will give it a run over the next few days.

One problem I have is that all my rides are timestamped on Strava 7hours behind. I'm in Sydney, Australia timezone.

Any clues on how to correct this?

Thanks

David

This is a Strava issue, my ibike rides and even if I download a ride using my Garmin 705 all show off by eight hours. I'm at GMT-8 or -7 depending on daylight savings time.

Strava says it's an iBike issue because the data should be logged in GMT?

I have to respectfully disagree. The Garmin 705 records in GMT and it shows that it's off by the same hours as the iBike. Even the Strava smartphone app shows off by the same hours whcih is the difference to GMT.

I "follow" some guys that I regularly ride with and when they upload a ride just finished an hour or so before uploading, it shows "10 hours ago". Once the day has passed the ride shows the correct date, however rides uploaded soon after they're completed are off regardless of the electronic device used.
