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.
