To make the list more digestible, we’ve grouped our favourite cycling apps into ride recording, navigation and route planning, fitness, mountain biking and miscellaneous categories. The best bike computers will last much longer.Īnd remember, these are our recommendations, so make sure to add your own in the comments. The best indoor training apps cost just over £12 a month and the best smart trainers will get the most out of your subscription.įair warning: any GPS cycling app will tax your phone’s battery, so these are generally better suited to shorter rides unless you’re able to charge on the go. Some of the apps featured here are free, some are not, and some are free up front with an option to buy or subscribe for more bells and whistles.

What’s more, with Bluetooth accessories such as heart-rate monitors, speed sensors and power meters becoming more common, you can get your smartphone’s Bluetooth connection and processor to do the work that used to require a separate computer and, not so long ago, wires. For others, such as Strava, you can just hit start, put your phone in your jersey pocket or in a bike phone mount and go. For some apps – Google Maps, for instance – you need to have your device on the handlebar to take full advantage.
