Strava has renamed its premium offering and split it into use-targeted components, which can be bought separately or bundled together.

Pricing stays the same for the whole lot at $59 per year or $7.99 a month. Each pack is $2.99 monthly or $23.99 annually.

The three options are Training, Safety and Analysis. All offer Premium Perks, a package of discounts on purchases and services from the likes of New Balance, Competitive Cyclist, Peppermint and Science in Sport, and faster customer service through Premium Support.

Safety

Safety's main feature is Beacon safety tracking, which allows friends and family to see where you are in real time. There are also activity heatmaps.

Training

Training claims to offer everything you need to train better and achieve your targets, including training plans and personalized goals.

Analysis

Analysis is designed to exploit the information produced by your cycling gadgets with power analysis and tracking  of fitness and freshness among other things.

(See below for a full list of each package's features.)

The T-shirt emblazoned with the words "If I crash pause my Strava" I spotted at Alpe d'Huez in July is a good indication of how engrained the Strava app is in the cycling world.

From beginners to pros, our orange digital tracks are there for all to see and each month a million more of us sign up, including recently my wife as a result of Strava teaming up with her addiction - Flywheel. (And, yes, I still object to references to what I do as outdoor cycling.)

For all the growth Strava is not turning a profit and the Summit change is aimed at convincing those exploiting the free part of Freemium to pony up for some premium features for about the price of a latte a month.

The good news is that the "Free" section of the model remains as it is and current Premium users will pay no more for Summit.
