Strava gets even more fun when you find and invite friends. Following friends opens up a world of social interaction and gets the competitive spirit going.

The easiest way to quickly search for friends is to use our global search tool, the magnifying glass icon on the toolbar. This tool can be accessed from any page on Strava.com and allows you to search not only for athletes but also for activities, segments, and clubs.

Another way to find your friends on Strava is to hover over your Profile picture in the top-right corner of the page and click "Find Friends" from the drop-down menu. This will allow you to run an Athlete Search and view a list of suggested followers.

Strava will recommend people you can follow. Look on your Dashboard for the Suggested Friends list on the right side of the page.
