Description

The Best Bike Computer is a biking performance tracking application developed by a biker. It tracks various metrics from your bike ride and saves them for review in Best Bike or export in a CSV file. The exported file can be opened with Excel for detailed analysis.

In addition to saving your bike trip data in the application, Best Bike exports it to the Apple Health application (calories burned, cycling distance and workout).

The Best Bike user interface is simple and designed for ease of use during a ride but viewing the screen is not necessary; Best Bike will speak the metrics you choose at the time or distance interval you choose.

Best Bike can show you your current location on the map and optionally show you where you have been on your ride. Your route on the map can be exported in GPX format.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.

Features
- GPS-based recording of data for your bike ride.
- Displays current speed, altitude, GPS location and…
- Records distance, time, max & average speed, delta altitude, maximum altitude, altitude gain, calories.
- For "out and back" rides, estimates the time you will return to the starting point.
- Uses altimeter hardware on iPhone (if available) to improve altitude metrics.
- Calorie calculation based on distance, weight (from Health app if available), speed and gain.
- Data from each trip saved in app and in Health app (if available).
- Display of summary data from all trips.
- Data can be exported in CSV format for import into Excel.
- Shows your location on map and your route so far. The route can be exported in GPX format.

Data Recorded During Your Ride
- Current speed
- Total distance during ride (saved in Health app)
- Total time of ride
- Current position (displayed in coordinates and on map)
- Where you have been (on map display)
- Compass heading
- Average speed
- Whether your current speed is above or below your average speed (indicated by + or – after current speed)
- Whether your average speed is above or below the maximum average speed from all previous trips (+ or - indicator)
- Maximum speed
- Altitude
- Delta altitude (difference between minimum and maximum altitude during ride)
- Maximum altitude
- Calories burned
- Cumulative elevation gain (or altitude gain)
- Data calculated for all trips combined: Total time, average speed, maximum speed, maximum average speed, total calories, maximum distance, total distance

What’s New

Version 2.5.0

The displayed altitude values are now filtered using a digital filter algorithm. This reduces some of the spurious altitude fluctuations when riding on a level surface. Riders that frequently ride on level terrain will notice a reduction in the Altitude Gain and Calories values because some erroneous fluctuations are now being filtered out.
