Best App for Cycling for Android

Hi All,

I just bought a mount for my racing bike to hold my cellphone and use it as a cycling computer. What is the best app to use for cycling?

Strava has the biggest community if you have friends who either cycle or run.

It's not terribly accurate on elevation changes if you use the app only (no barometric altimeter data like the high end dedicated GPS units have) but it's close enough for recreational riding.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try out Strava. Most of my friends are on that one.
