Just when you think things can’t get any better, you run across an application like this. Who would have thought that you could someday use your iPod or iPhone as a GPS for a cycling? Well, you can. With iMapMyRide, you’re sure to have an amazing cycling experience.
iMapMyRide has a database of over 2 million routes to select from including local parks in your area, all of which should be safe places for cyclist to ride. For starters, iMapMyRide is for domestic use in the U.S. and for international use as you can measure distance in kilometers as well. Well, hello there, Tour de France! With your route programmed into iMapMyRide, you can track distance, time, pace and speed. It’s like the benefits of a stationary bike except you get to get up and go! It’s truly amazing!
Users can also synchronize their stats and save their training histories at MapMyRide.com. And of course, a little competition never hurt anyway, right? For the sake of argument, we’ll say right and be amazed that iMapMyRide has social networking components such as Twitter that allow users to communicate their success with others and might provide a little healthy competitive edge.
There’s also no need to worry about not being able to listen to your music. You can have the best of both worlds. That means a) it’s cheaper because you have two devices in 1 and b) it’s convenient that you have to devices in one.
With its simple interface, anyone can get the ins and outs of this app. It really is like being at the YMCA only a lot more scenic. iMapMyRide is an amazing app that has so much to offer the avid cyclist. I assure you that iMapMyRide is an app worth trying. Step up your workout, put the pavement to the trail and give it a go.
