MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
My subscription just ran out. I 'think' it's worth it, but it's touch and go. Then I remembered the 'family' membership deal.
https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/26013043116173-Strava-s-Family-Plan
Premium is currently £54.99 as an individual, but a 'family of 4 is only £99. So less than half price each.
You don't have to be actual family, or even pretend to be, Netflix stylee. You don't need to share your innermost Strava secrets or share a toothbrush - Just trust one person in the 4 with your cash to sign up. You also can't have a premium membership running - you have to be a premium virgin, or it's expired. Otherwise you have to get a live subscription cancelled before you can play.
Message me (that still works right?) if interested.
If it works out how you’ve described then I’m a +1.
I’ve been looking for deals on a Strava premium membership for the last week, but nothing seems to be about this year.
Edit- Sent you a DM. Not sure if it’s gone through or not, the page keeps refreshing and I lose everything I’ve typed.
Cool. We just need a 4th. I'll check back in the morning.
Morning - messages sent to bigblackshed, niel11 and doomanic....my new family members!
Nickingsley - you can be the strange uncle no one talks about and I'll introduce to the family in an unexpected plot twist if one of the above 3 backs out.
Sent my £24.25 🙂
Thanks - I'm an idiot and got my maths wrong. Should have been £24.75. But you can have the 50p as an early Xmas present!
Just waiting for the other 2.
Just noticed that myself and sent the additional 50p over!
Thank you!
I’ve just spent my bit for the Strava Family subscription via PayPal. I’ve also tried to send DM messages and I think I’ve figured out what I’m wrong!
Thank you - just one to go!
Paid. ?
The question mark is supposed to be a bloody smilie… 🙂
Do we have a family get together this time next year then to sort out the following year 🙂
Depends on where we all are. Strava Family / STW Club ride with tea and buns?
MODS: Might be worth a sticky, pretty sure there will be people who could do with a half price subscription. Only takes 4 people to organise themselves. Or it could be like herding cats.
I'd be up for it in another group
I'll be the 4th in the second group if the place is still available.
Well - group one paid up and invites sent.
Really wasn't too much faff and feels like a no brainer. Good luck to any new families who get together....but just remember who was first!
Edit - and Nickingsley missed out on the first family so don't miss him out of the second.
@davosaurusrex @cerrado-tu-ruido attempting to send you both messages…
Interested in family 3 if more takers are keen..
I'm on for family 3.
Would be up for family 3 if it works as suggested.
Family 3 is @rockthreegozy @dogbone & @keith74
Anyone else? I'm happy to set up @ £25 for the year..
@dogbone- I’m up for this if you
haven’t yet found a 4th family member!
I’d love to get in on this is there’s a family 4? Only problem is I’m in Jersey and when I tried to set it up here Strava told me I couldn’t as I’m not in the UK..(!) - I wonder if I can join a family from here though.. ?
Family 3 set up. Mark is in. Rock and Keith are pending..
So if one is already a Premium subscriber is it possible to cancel it and then err.. put yourself up for adoption?
edit - you have to wait for your current subscription to expire it seems. Maybe next year then….
@convert, thanks for that.

I'm still up to join a family, just not the fastest comms from me as away this week but happy to join and pay my share. It will just be towards the end of a day when I make contact.
Also the STW notifications thingy does not appear to be working.
My Strava 'family' is up for renewal on 5th Jan and I've got one slot free. £25 for the year. Message me if interested.
Oh, thanks for the reminder - just messaged my family to see if they want to play.
Hi.
Please let me know if still available?
Thanks
Ed
Dogbone 'family' is complete.
I’d like to join in if anyone else is looking for a surrogate “family”

Im interested if we can find 2 others to join us. I assume these family accounts aren’t joined in any way other than the payment?
Two of my 'family' have not responded so with time ticking (it renews on Sunday) I'm happy to take two new members.
No, accounts are not joined in anyway - you can elect to follow each other be request like normal but that's it. The 'leader' has to pay up front for all 4 and the other have to pay them.
If two more want to message me with their name and email address I'll email you my bank details and I'll happily add you to the family on recruit of your £25.

Convert I can't reply to your message for some reason, is it okay if I send my payment to the same PayPal account as last year?
Yes, no worries.
All done 👍
Great. That's all 3 of you paid up and the family full for 2026.
Think from above family is full? But if anyone does have a space to adopt then I’d be interested?
Yes I’d like to renew the family subscription, please. Just replied to your DM, STW didn’t send a notification, I’ll ping you the money if you still have a place.
@convert I'm not looking to renew this year. I also didn't see your DM...
No worries and thanks for confirmed. So sorry Doomanic 😟. Hopefully you can get another family together.
The messaging is not that awesome and notifications are really unreliable.
Hard to keep track of who's in whcih group but - I'm also up for this, previous premium subscriber but can't quite stomach the full cost again.
I'm up for adoption!
I got dropped from my family like the ginger middle child.* 😉
I’ll gladly organise a surrogate family. The messaging on here isn’t great so if anyone wants in then email me “my username” @gmail.com. I think anyone can work it out.
* No offensive to ginger middle children.

Email sent (hopefully!)
Email sent 👍
So, @rockbus and @snotrag have both replied, looking for a fourth member.
@funkydunc is in and our family is complete. I’ll be in touch with payment and username details soon.
Over to someone else.
How does this work with old stats and after leaving the family? I guess its the same as stopping and starting premium...all your data is still there it just turns on and off the features?

Ah, man - I feel guilty now.
Mind you, seeing your child striking out and setting up their own family - #proudmoment sniff 😊
Seriously - glad you are sorted after I dumped you!

Basically it's just like normal strava - your account is your account and not connected in any way to your 'family's'. If you already have premium it needs to have expired before you can join a family. If you leave a family (like the ginger middle child above 😉 ) your status just reverts to free member until you join a new one or pay up for individual. All the while your data (rides, routes etc etc) remain intact.
It seems this isn't in any way dodgy like sharing netflix across multiple households/addresses. Strava actively encourage club members and riding/running groups to do this so it's all good. Shame there isn't a bigger group option for 20 or 30 folk at an even bigger discount - join a bike club and part of your membership fee gets you membership to the bike club's strava 'family'.
In 2026 strava is going to be my only (sort of - my settings are mostly set to private anyway) social media save a bit of insta for work related reasons and facebook marketplace.
Thanks, mine just renewed this morning so hopefully they will refund and then I'll set up a family one
