What would you guys like in a cycling app?

[Andyr249]

TimW - you can sort of do that with Strava. On the leaderboard select "my results". Then it lists all your efforts with the dates so you can track any improvements. Not graph but the info is there for you to see.

 

TheMarketGuy - As others have said there are so many tracking apps and to compete against the Strava's, Endomondo's etc will be tough. An app listing all the races for all disciplines, places to ride and info on them for all disciplines (for example: Northern Farms and have the cost, info on the routes, distances etc), perhaps even notifications on safety (you can get info from the Hub and that Bicycle Safety Group on FB to start with and then let users update it and that sends alerts out). You could even have a section on shops and list the shops details. Maybe get the shops to pay a fee to be listed in the app. (You out on a ride and something happens to your bike you can then find the nearest shop. Integrate it with a map so your phone picks up your GPS position and then also shows the shops around you). So basically a complete information cycling app for SA.

This is awesome. So many great ideas.

 

I'm going to collate them all when this thread dies, and we'll run a vote to see which one is most popular, and then take it from there.

We could even integrate the FNB Banking app for you...

 

Buy some cycling gear and beer on the go!

 

should also integrate buplunch app: Order food on the ride... its ready when you get there

virtual coach for interval training... ie program the intensity levels and time, voice in ear phone as not to have to read.

for those who needs specs, to read

I am going to suggest something out of the box here, let the endomondo's, strava's, garmin connect's do what they do best.

 

Do something new...

 

Proper mechanic's app with tool checklist and step by step for every job

 

Endomondo works fine, I don't want to try something new.

Have you tried the app called "Bike Repair"? I use it and seems pretty comprehensive

What is the app about?

[Joeboy69]

Auto Start and Stop

 

The auto pause on my Endomondo is very temperamental :-(

[Joeboy69]

 

The only thing I havent been able to do / find in a live app is to create a virtual partner / pacer. You can race against yourself on Endomondo for a route you've done before, but I would have liked the functionality to program a pacer in per set number of km or minutes for any planned ride.

 

 

Is the racing against yourself feature only available in Endo premium? Would love to do this but haven't come across the option :-(

What is the app about?

iPhone/iPad app with a full list of tools, adjustments, settings, etc. for every thing on the bike. Headset, saddle, deraileurs, brakes, hubs, etc., etc. Edited October 26, 2013 by Dazshell

Customisable graphs, so I can select the x and y axis fields however I want them. Or a formula using various recorded fields and constants.

[VicanZA]

Point out easy targets, oo... We got Facebook for that.
