Smart Phone Apps for the Cycling Commuters

January 8, 2013 by DeeRidekick

“There’s an app for that.”  Just an Apple trademark?  Or a popular catchphrase that will characterize an era of tweets, peeps, wi-fives, and status updates?  As mobile technology surges, “There’s an app for that” may appear your dictionary, alongside “Bodacious”, “Fly”, and “Gnarly.” Yah dig?

Until that day arrives, we thought you might be interested in a few apps specifically designed for bicycle commuters.

Whether you want the world at the touch screen of your fingertips or still enjoy the feel of a newspaper, we think that’s groovy.  In my opinion, Queen had it right in the 70s, just “Get on Your Bikes and Ride!”
