I just tried the MapMyRide…

I can’t believe how much advertising spam was on that site. It was almost intolerable.

At one point I had to wait for 10 seconds whilst they showed me a full screen advertisement that I couldn’t click out of.

Delete!!

[...] cycling map, for when I occasionally lose my way on a new route. (Apparently the iPhone has a vibrant cycling app library!) If anyone knows of such a Blackberry app, I’d be very much [...]

Some of these are nice-looking, but it would just be nice to have an app that helps me find community-contributed routes near my current location. I think the GPS+community capabilities of the device aren’t really being used to the max in any of the examples here.

For most of the rest of these apps, I am with MrT – I’d just rather ride sans phone, even though by day I am a gadget geek :)

Being a Blackberry wielder.. I have to say it’s lists like this that make me see the value of what Apple’s done with the App Store, and make me covet an iPhone. Sometimes.

A little tip for browsing CT or any other website. If you want to go to the top of the page rather than sliding your finger 10 times to reach the site menu on top, just tap the clock on the top of the screen once and your there.

I find this very useful when I read CT due to the length of the post … Excelent blog Wade!

I use an iphone app called “TheBike” I have found it really quite good tracking my rides back and foward along the Gardiner Creek trail from Chadstone to work and back.
It uploads the GPS mapping into a site called http://www.everytrail.com

This is a FREE app and have found it the most reliable for uploading the data so far.

You only need a phone if you want to either, play with applications while riding, or intend to call your girlfriend to come pick you up when you get a flat. I carry a spare tube when I ride and one of those clip on, name tag, bracelets for an emergency. If a moronic, speeding, drunk, Melbourne driver splatters you, chances are your phone will be a goner too.

I bought the app B.iCycle, using it for month now and I’m very impressed.
Most accurate values of all iphone apps and a great map even with biketrails.
Absolutely worth the money….

Excellent write up. Just got v3 this week and mighty impressed with it all.
Mr T.. really? Going out for a ride without a phone is like going out for a ride without spares. I take it with me on all my rides for emergency reasons. On that note I must remember to put in my ICE number (In case of emergency). Highly recommended from me and all good ambulance workers
