Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Apple's own cycling app?

Check out this article, seems Apple submitted a patent for a system like Nike+ but for cycling. Personally, I think this would be awesome, although I would hope it would have a good auto-start/stop, so you can keep it in the jersey pocket and not have to worry about it.

Not too sure about how much I'd like to have my iPhone mounted to my handlebars...

Cool. I don't have or plan to buy an iPhone, but new cycling toys are always rad.

Another cool thing from the article, the app could talk to other local cycling iPhones, for setting up group rides, etc:


Communications systems built into the package could allow potential riders to share their riding characteristics others to assist in forming riding groups while also allowing those on a team to view data on other riders. Riders could also communicate with each other via various methods, as well as with outside parties.

Riders can also offer ratings and feedback on potential routes to other riders, with data on their riding characteristics offering a basis for assessing riders' perspective when making ratings and recommendations.
