iPhone Cycling Applications

February 11, 2009 by ruedatropical

Every Trail iPhone bike computer

From Every Trail a bicycle computer GPS app for your iPhone that displays an odometer, speed, time and allows you to record and upload a track of your bike ride and works with iPhone Trails app. Note that the landscape mode display makes for huge easy to read display.

iPhone trails and gear calculator applications

above left: Trails a GPS app from Felix Lamouroux allows you to record, export and import tracks onto your iPhone.

above right: Bicycle Gear Calculator from JP Martineau allows you to evaluate current or potential Gearing Ratios, calculate Gain Ratios, Gear Inches, and Development. Use the Skid Patch Analyzer to visualize and minimize your fixed-gear’s tire wear. Explore equivalent gearing configurations that let you reuse parts you already have.

iBPM
The iRPM+ iPhone app from Smheart Link adds a heart rate monitor and cadence to the feature list.

UPDATE 05/05/09:
B.iCycle cyclometer

Thanks to Vince in comments for the heads up on another new app: B.iCycle cyclometer.

iPhone bike appsAbove left is BikePower and above right is iMapMyRide. iMapMyRide features real time tracking with distance, time, pace and speed display. It integrates with MapMyRide.com and Twitter. BikePower estimates your power output on the bike.

Cychosis

Cychosis allows you to chart your rides (distance, average speed, and time). Optional automatic tweet (twitter) of each ride after you enter it.

MotionX-GPS MotionX-GPS allows you to save up to 303 waypoints, email waypoints to google earth or google maps, save up to 101 tracks, live compass (true or magnetic bearings).
Pedal Brain iPhone cycling app fully compatible with ANT+ cycling sensors such as SRM, PowerTap, Quarq, MetriGear & Garmin. Pedal Brain will also offer a web training platform as well as coaching plans by subscription.
SportyPal
New SportyPal Bike app will be available very soon for iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile users. Log and map your position, movement, distance, tempo and calories burned. It will not affect normal operation of your mobile phone, so you can still listen to music, receive and initiate calls and messages.

Phone, music, email, cycling computer and GPS tracking all in one device. Pretty slick. However before you trash your pricey cycling computer be aware the iPhone has an Achilles heel as a cycling computer. Battery life… Just as you are starting to break a sweat the iPhone will be needing a recharge. This is especially true for GPS apps on the iPhone which are real battery hogs. However if you have a dyno hub the new E-werk hub dynamo powered universal power supply and charging unit from Busch & Mueller might solve that problem.

  3. Hi guys,

    another tip for the use of a biking app on the iPhone:
    B.iCycle.
    I just bought it and it works great. You get a bike computer with map and trails and all that stuff.
    Maybe interersting for you…?!

    Cheers Vince

    Vince,

    Thanks for the heads up. I will add a link to the post.


  5. Cychosis is another that I’m looking at (it was linked off of the gear calculator’s page):

    http://www.cychosis.com/

    Anyone have any first-hand feedback on any of these?


  6. John, I am the author of Cychosis — if you have any questions or would like a promo code to try it out, email me at support [at] cychosis dot com.

    Cheers,
    Ron

  9. What I want for my rides is to have elevation lines overlaid on the Google Maps feature of my IPhone. Because of bursitis in both my knees, I’m not very strong on the uphills (more often than not, I have to get off and walk the bike until the incline is under 3 degrees).

    If I could see my route through neighborhoods on a map– with elevation lines– in advance of trying a route, I could more easily find a route that’s within my performance range.

    There’s no sense in me trying to attempt an incline of 20 degrees (which Google Map’s “walking route” often includes) when I’m on my bike, knowing in advance that I can’t climb that steep a slope!

  13. I noticed you say “the bike computer” works with the Trails app. How do they work together? I didn’t see anything on the EveryTrails site discussing this, and I now have both apps but don’t see how they’re integrated. Could you be more specific there?


  14. [...] so good, I decided to replace both 305s. Now, I’m Edgeless; but, I have my iPhone with its cycling apps. I may get to check on on a longer ride today. I have to say my Edge 305 support for Garmin has [...]
