Strava BuddyPress/PeepSo Integration Plugin Description

The add-on lets you attach your Strava activities right to your your posts on Peepso/BuddyPress Streams.

Strava is a social network focused on sports. It allows athletes and enthusiasts to exchange information about running, climbing, cycling, and so on.

Embedding Strava Route in User Stream

Once the user connects to Strava, all his activities are shareable to PeepSo/BuddyPress streams.

For each activity there will also be a map showing the route itself and the route's parameters.
