A local man who conspicuously canceled his Strava account late last week is already back to using the popular social networking app, Dumb Runner has learned.
Mark Renton, 31, was one of many cyclists and runners who reacted with surprise, confusion, and anger last week when they learned Strava was increasing its prices. In a tweet dated January 12, he tagged Strava and announced, “Canceling my monthly subscription now, this is bullshit. #strava #stravapriceincrease”; yesterday, Renton quietly reactivated his account, apparently having agreed to pay the new, higher rates.
“It’s still bullshit,” Renton told Dumb Runner in a phone interview, referring to the price hike. “But I think I made my point.”
“Now, those guys [at Strava] know they’re on notice.”
