Strava is removing their 'forever tokens' and going with a different method.  
This change will break this node.  
I have taken a quick look at the code and its a bit beyond my skill set.  
Is anyone using this node and is a programmer?

Here are the details.

Which node specifically are you talking about? Maybe raise an issue against it so it's author is made aware?

I went to raise an issue there, but the instructions said to report it here.

Ok. The people who contributed a lot of the web nodes have long since moved on from Node-RED. Please do still raise an issue, but I don't know when Dave or I will get a chance to look as neither of us use Strava.

So of anyone in the community uses that node and wants to help, contributions welcome.
