I posted this in cycling but wanted to get others feedback;

So I've only been on Strava for a few years and back at cycling going into my third year. I make my own routes but I also see where others are riding and have taken a few other people's routes to follow. For me I've found unique and interesting scenery from others routes. I've also found challenging roads and segments. So today I tried who I thought was a friend's route to see how I would do. Next thing I know she's commenting that it's creepy and stalkerish that I copy others routes (For the record I've done it twice). So on my route I typed out an apology with the explanation from above. I also added that cycling has helped many people in different ways but it's always been filled with elitism. I truly believe that cycling should be all inclusive for people from all walks of life and ethnicity. If we lived in an area with few roads are people going to begin fighting over who can ride on the roads?
