It sounds like you may have recorded your mileage in an area with poor cell service.
We call this the "airplane bug" because it makes your recorded drives look a bit like you took a quick trip in an airplane — it occurs when you have poor cell service, or when your phone is running too many apps at once.
When your phone can't connect to GPS continuously, the app will look at your starting and ending points of that time period and connect the dots, so to speak.
When this happens, we recommend taking these steps:
1) Delete the incorrectly recorded drive
2) Add in this drive manually
3) Close any apps that you're not actively using. This will help Stride function as expected!
If you are still seeing a straight line in your drives, you should follow these next steps to reset your app and get rid of the issue
1. Kill and restart the app
You do so by double-clicking the home button of your iPhone (or tap the Recent Apps button on your Android phone) and swiping up on Stride.
2. Uninstall and reinstall the app
For iPhone:
1) Delete the app from your phone (don't worry, none of your account data will be lost!)
2) Re-download the app from the App Store
3) Log back in with the email address that you originally used to sign up
For Android:
1) Delete the app from your phone (don't worry, none of your account data will be lost!)
2) Re-download the app from the Play Store
3) Log back in with the email address that you originally used to sign up
3. Update your location permission settings
For iPhone:
It's possible your app is not tracking mileage correctly due to some location settings on your phone.
You can do so by following these steps:

4) Scroll down to Stride Tax, and ensure that your location permissions are set to "Always"
