In reply to LeeWood:
I like UKC (and Strava for that matter) and would probably be will to make one off fees to both for their use. However it’s the subscription model I have a real problem with.
In our uncertain times I want as few fixed outgoings coming out of my account as possible. (I’m self employed). I really hate the idea of monthly fees for things. Yes I have a mortgage, and phone bill and utilities, but everything else I pay for only if I can afford it in one go. (Car, insurance, no streaming services etc.)
this kind of idea just ties you in with no chance of escape and UKC and Strava are the thin end of the wedge to me...
