Cycling Apps
 

Newbie Question here:

I got a Quad Lock for my bike. Can you recommend a good app that might help with tracking my ride and also help with GPS/ Routes?
I would like an app that helps me keep an even pace. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I would suggest getting a computer that has current speed/average speed/distance/odometer and cadence meaning that it will have dual sensors. I have a simple wired Cateye Strada and it works well.

When trying to keep an even pace, it is more important to keep an eye on your cadence while maintaining an even effort as speed will naturally vary with the road grade.

Beyond that, if you want to also have GPS tracking with an app, Strava is a popular choice.

I think Strava is not only a popular choice... but maybe also the best... and most pricey. I use a little $5 a year app on my iPhone (called: cycle meter) that gives me much more data than I can use.

$5 for a phone app really isn't that much. People spend $500 on a Garmin.

Thanks.
