Strava now seem to be charging, To compare past performances on segments or routes:
it was free!
At47.99 pa I think they are pitching too high. At £10 a year I think all would do it.

I think £47.99 per annum is good value. My Sky subscription is more than that per month and I get far more satisfaction and enjoyment out of Strava than I do Sky!
In fact, unless football takes this lockdown as an opportunity to sort itself out, which I doubt it will, I shall be not be renewing my agreement with Sky.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
I was adamant I was not going to pay for premium but there is quite a lot now missing from the free version that I find useful. The segment analysis, leader boards, GAP and comparing previous runs/rides over the same route have all gone to subscription only as has the route planner. I know £48 is a lot to stump up in one go but its only half the price of a decent pair of fell shoes and less than a pound a week so on that basis I'm going to pay. Have to agree that if they had made it more reasonable (or even allowed a monthly subscription at a lower rate), they would probably have had more take up.
Indeed. I can't be doing with all this anonymity.
Even when I was forced to use a pseudonym so my private views were not understood to be official FRA policy I used lots of colons and semi-colons, etc so people knew it was really me.
PS It is a true story that when Tony Varley was the FRA Treasurer he found someone paying their annual FRA subscription every month - presumably still thinking it was good value for money. Obviously not Oracle though.

I don’t think he will he outing himself anytime soon...
Idiosyncratic punctuation can be a straightforward way to identify someone. Mine would the overuse of hyphens.
Paying the FRA annual membership monthly are definitely the actions of a fat cat - though arguably still value for money 😊
I don’t mind the light version of Strava as it does what I want with the subscription version still being very reasonable
