Adversts in Google Maps on the iPhone? Great. Not I saw this in TC and have not seen it myself, but I will keep an eye out over the weekend.

Bicycle fitting computer for the iPhone This is kinda neat. I did not try ‘TestRides‘ (by Wildlab) myself, but I like the idea. Basically, you take a picture of yourself, select key body points to provide an overall measurement set, and then calculate and display the best bike size for your body. Sweet!

I tested TrailGuru on the ebike on a short ride to the grocery. Like Path Tracker (reviewed here) the iPhone takes a GPS samples and… Read More
iphone as a bicycle computer? Yea! I did a ‘maintenance ride’ today and thought I would try out a new iphone app I downloaded last night called TrackThing. I basically turned it on, put it in the small pouch on the back of the bike and took off, ibiking if you will. {UPDATE} Since writing this post I have reviewed a number… Read More
