Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Strava has gone down, with users unable to see their workouts.

Visitors to the website saw a message saying the site was “temporarily unavailable”. “We hit a road block, but our team is working on an alternate route,” the error page reads.

It directed visitors to the Strava Status page, but that suggested all of its systems were operational.

On the app version of the service, users were just shown numbered error messages and told that something had gone wrong.

Soon after the outage began – and before it had even been recognised on Strava’s official status pages – service came back again.

The outage comes just days after Strava released its data for 2021 – which showed that more people than ever were using it, with activities increasing even more than an already record-breaking 2020.
