[Closed] Strava Premium free trials

Currently coming to the end of my 60 day Premium trial through British Cycling and quite like some but not all of the features. Now, in theory at least, I have another free trial through the purchase of a Garmin product.

If I cancel the free trial and then try and get another 60 days through Garmin, will this work? Or is it 1 trial per user?

I'd imagine you would need to sign up to a different account.

for £2 a month I'd just pay them - it would be a shame to lose Strava as it's such a great resource and add interest to rides (both personally and when part of a group).

Shhh. I've been on free trials for about 3 years now but don't tell anyone.

How do you keep on free trials?

I get one every 6 months or so, but then I do t use it any different to I would normally

What feature is really worth it?

I think it's like stw funkydunc - it's the whole thing that I happily pay a few quid a month for. I don't 'train' so a lot of premium features aren't really that valuable to me.

I don't think Strava can survive on free accounts as it's not an advertising driven model.

I'm currently coming to an end of a 60 day BC free trial too, at the moment I think I will revert to the free version and use the free data-tastic Stravistix plugin.

If one of your favourite features of Premium Strava is "live segments," you could buy Ghostracer Pro for £3 and get audio feedback of how you are doing on chosen starred segments against a record of your choosing. It also allows you to increase the frequency of GPS pings, which could give you more accurate segment times over Strava's non-customisable ping frequency.
