I've never had that issue with Urban Biker and I'm pretty obsessive about battery life and checking battery stats to see what's using battery.
In real world use I get about 4-5 hours out of my bike phone with the screen on (and huge battery)
In testing I've let Urban Biker run with the screen off and it worked for 2 days with GPS on before it drained the battery. (Which is nice so on long trail rides I can keep it running with the screen off and it will still work fine)
It could have been a conflict with some random version of Android. Or you could have gotten a bad version of it and quit before it was patched. That stuff happens. But the app in general isn't a battery hog.
