Feature request: Default Commute Tag on Profile

Hello,

Problem:
Currently, the Commute ride tag must be applied manually after every ride, even if the ride is always a commute (e.g., home ↔ work). This adds friction and makes it easy to forget tagging, which reduces the usefulness of commute-based stats in Strava and other platforms.

Proposal:
Allow users to set a default ride tag (e.g., Commute) that is automatically applied whenever a specific profile is used. For example:

• “Commute” profile → automatically tagged as Commute

• “Gravel” profile → no default tag (manual selection still possible)

Benefits:

• Saves time and avoids forgetting to set the commute tag

• Ensures consistent data in Strava, TrainingPeaks, etc.

• Brings parity with other platforms/devices that support auto-commute tagging

Implementation idea:
Add a simple “Default Ride Tag” dropdown in the profile settings (next to Ride Type). Users who don’t want this feature can leave it blank and tag rides manually as before.

Best Regards

Mac

  I use Activityfix.com to update my rides. All rides starting at point A  and finishing at point B are tagged Commute.

  I also use Activityfix, but a Commute tag would solve this issue directly. Would really appriciate a Karoo solution.
