Pre-Order New Strava Équipe 2011 Kit

The new Strava Équipe 2011 Cycling Kits are now available for pre-order. Like last year’s kit, these premium jerseys, shorts, socks and arm warmers are designed by Angry Bovine, produced in the US by Panache Cyclewear and manufactured in the EU.

Whether you are buying one for yourself, or as a gift for someone else, make sure you place your order now in order to receive it in time for the holidays.

To pre-order your kit — and for kit information and pricing — please visit the Strava Équipe 2011 Kit Pre-Order page.

This year, we decided to open up the design selection process to the Strava community. We held two rounds of voting and hundreds of people picked their favorite kit. The winner, by a large margin, embraces the history of cycling but also stays true to the Strava brand.

Strava Équipe 2011 Jersey

The jerseys are short sleeved and are made from micro mesh fiber with full front zipper for excellent all-condition use.

Strava Équipe 2011 Bib Short

The matching bib shorts and regular shorts (coming soon) incorporate a 220gm Power Lycra®/Pro Stock™ Chamois for incredible comfort on long and short rides.

Pick the Next Strava Kit, Round 2

We received a lot of great feedback from everyone on the last round of voting – and more votes than we anticipated! It became clear that many of you are cycling in warmer climates where an all black kit is a liability.

Based on the feedback from Round 1, we’ve created two new iterations on the favorite kit, but with more white in the kit. We’re putting them up to vote, along with the runner up from the last round. So, vote away!

Update: We’ve closed voting for the kits and will announce the winner soon. Thanks for helping us pick the new kit!

New Plans and Pricing – Lower Monthly Fee and Free Plan

Today we rolled out new plans and pricing for Strava, including a new, completely free plan and a lower monthly fee for our paid plan. We’ve consolidated our plans into just 2 — a paid plan called Velo and a free plan called, well, Free.

The Velo Plan replaces the existing Monthly Plan, and is only $6 per month. You still have the option of paying for a full year — and getting an 18% discount — for $59/year.

We’ve heard from many people that would love to use Strava, but aren’t cycling as much as they’d like to, or would prefer to have a free plan that didn’t limit them to 10 lifetime uploads. Our new Free Plan is completely free and has no limit for how long you can use it. We tried to find a way that would let people who ride less frequently, or want to test drive Strava, do so without any time constraints. The Free Plan lets you upload as many times as you want, but you can only add 5 rides to your Strava account each month. Uploaded rides that aren’t activated are stored in your Rides > Activities view under the Manage Rides tab. Those rides don’t get processed and displayed anywhere else, and obviously, they don’t show up in segment views or leaderboards. When you decide to upgrade to the Velo Plan, all the rides you have in storage are immediately and automatically processed and added to your Strava account.

There are a few other differences between the Velo and Free Plans: on the Velo Plan, you can create and manage public or private clubs and events — on the Free Plan, you can create and manage public clubs and events only.

If you’ve been on the fence previously about using Strava, you no longer have any excuses — go and sign up for the Free Plan now!

For Strava members on the existing monthly plan, we will automatically extend your current month by 2 weeks and reduce your next month’s fee to $6.

Thursday Member Meetup

Thanks to everyone who took the time to attend our Strava Member Meetup last night. It was great to meet everyone, talk about cycling and Strava, and drink a few beers. We’ve posted a few photos from the event on the Strava Facebook page.

We’re thinking of holding another meetup next month — let us know in the comments if you’re interested in attending.
