The popular cycling map app Strava has had one of its most popular Brisbane segments renamed 'Bedroom antics - shhhh' after complaints from homeowners along that route that riders were talking loudly about their sex lives.

According to News.com.au, complaints from Yeronga residents sparked a petition last month to crack down on riders talking too loudly along a stretch of the popular River Loo.

One regular loop cyclist Glyn Diwell said he thought renaming the map was a clever way of reminding riders to be on the lookout for cranky locals.

The Yeronga woman who first reported the sex talk said she love it, but at sdame time find it hilarious.

The mother said the story had also become a bit of an in-joke among the cycling community.

The woman said the noise had improved slightly, but that some cyclists still behaved badly.
