    How did strava cause that? Did they create an incentive for speed records or what was it?

      KOMs are “King Of (the) Mountain,” it is a fake internet points award for anyone recording the fastest time through a segment of a trail or path. Users create the segments using the data from their ride. Then Strava shows all the other riders that have traveled through this segment and their times. This incentivizes riders to get the best times on the most popular segments they ride through that also feature a lot of other riders with competitive times.
