Jon PENNYCOOK<p>unimpressed with a campsite that I am thinking of booking. They forbid cycling on their internal roads including the road to the shop for the safety of other campers, obviously they don't forbid cars or camper vans on those roads because they're safe.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycles</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/biketodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/camping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>camping</span></a></p>

Jon PENNYCOOK<p>It sounds like Strava want to block 3rd party apps that display your info to others, which is most of the ones that I have ever used.
