Map My Ride

Price: Free

Map My Ride by MapMyFitness helps keep you motivated and on track when it comes to cycling.

If you're looking for a way to track your cycling abilities whether you're an advanced, basic, or competitive cyclist this is the app for you. This app will essentially transform your mobile device into a cycling computer that tracks your speed, route, calories, distance, time and even features audio alerts.

Use this app to track running, cycling, and more than 600 other varieties of activities. Features include elevation profile, GPS route mapping, speed (maximum, current, and average), route navigation, and real-time stats during your cycle. You can also use this app to help with nutrition by tracking your weight, diet, and food.

You have the ability to sync this app with your heart rate, cadence, and speed if you use power sensors from Wahoo, CycleOps, Garmin, Polar, and other supported devices. You can track all your stats in the background allowing you to make calls, listen to music, or use other apps on the phone. As well there are voice prompts given to you as you go to help motivate you.

For those workouts/rides you're especially proud of you can post them to Twitter and Facebook.
