Strava

Strava’s ace in the hole is its social component. Many riders use a GPS computer for recording and uploading rides to Strava – and then use the app for checking out what their friends are up to. Strava

Bikemap

Google Maps

Komoot uses the open-source OpenStreetMap database and allows you to plan road, mountain bike and gravel rides as well as commutes. The big difference over Google Maps is in the routing, where Komoot tries to choose the most efficient route, taking into account how bike-friendly a road or path is, as well as your fitness.

OS Maps

To some, paper OS Maps are a joy to use and things of beauty. But anyone who’s grappled with a South Pembrokeshire OS Explorer as it flaps in an Atlantic onshore wind will appreciate this app’s practicality. It’s a cartological database of the whole UK on your mobile device.

Zwift

Wahoo SYSTM is an indoor training app that does things a little differently to the likes of Zwift and other smart trainer apps. It doesn’t have a virtual world, but you can ride simulations of pro race finales. In the On Location feature, you ride along to videos of real-world roads.

Trailforks

You’re riding a new trail network, you’ve been out for a few hours, it’s hot, you’re tired and ready for a rest, when you come to a fork in the trail. You took a picture of the trail map near the car park, but you’re not totally sure where you are, so you make a call and go left because you think the trailhead is in that direction. Turns out, you’ve picked the wrong one, and this trail takes you deeper into the forest – you’re now a bit lost and try to backtrack to get home. It’s in this situation that Trailforks comes to rescue.
