As many of you know, I've been a huge fan of Garmin wearable devices for quite some time. I am also a big fan of Peloton. Peloton records a bunch of metrics, but currently there is no native sync between Peloton and Garmin Connect (the web/back end for Garmin wearable data). However, you can follow these steps, and get usable metrics out! - Create Strava account (This is free -- Make sure the Strava stuff is all private, unsubscribe from emails, etc.) - Sync Strava to Peloton bike/tread (you may need to install the app on a mobile device for this) - Choose to share ride/run/etc to Strava (this will happen automatically at the end of each workout) - Log into Strava, and choose "Export original" in Strava (like below image)
- Open & copy tcx file (any text editor should be fine) - Paste here: http://rodemybike.today/strava-to-garmin/
(Updated) or here
http://rodemybike.today/strava-to-garmin-2/
- Remove "<Creator><Name>*</Name></Creator>" (make sure you do this, or else it will not work) - Save file
- Upload file to Garmin Connect - Edit name/minutes/miles/etc that you want
Once you are done, if you had to install the Strava mobile app, you can delete it, as everything will occur automagically behind the scenes now Additionally, I did write a Perl script (because of course I would) to automate this for myself, and also put in the data for my watch (Garmin fenix 6 Sapphire, and the software version(s)). I can share that with you if you'd like, and if there is enough interest, maybe even put an online converter or something like that on this site somewhere.
I had to update my script today because Garmin rolled out some changes to accepted tcx formatting. I won't go into details because its really mundane stuff, but if you use the method above ( or if I've sent you the script) let me know and I'll update it for you. I really hope they don't do this terribly often, because it's tough to figure out what is (and is not) accepted when they make changes! :D
I'm interested in the automation script!
How does the automation script work? Would be have to export data every work out if we don’t use the automation script?

Hi Mira, Yeah, you have to export the data out from Strava. Then the script goes through and take care of the finding/replacing/formatting, then you upload that to Garmin Connect. It saves steps of going to another website and (when updates do occur, like earlier this year) it takes into account formatting changes. I also added a field so that if you know what your Garmin device is, and software version, you can have that be included as well. My hope is to eventually get something similar to the above site that is listed above here on dfirfit.com too, so that way you can accomplish the same sort of thing here as well, but I have had pretty much zero free time so far this year to work on getting that done and implemented. It's on my list of things to do (along with a ton of other things that I've not yet had time for either!)
@brianjmoran I was trying to find the export but am not seeing it. I’m not very tech savvy clearly haha
@Mira Berenshtein Go on the Strava site, click the three little buttons, and you will have the option to "Export Original"
