Best Cycling Apps 2025: What I use & why

Cycling is awash in digital products - indoor training software, outdoor mapping software, health and wellness, sleep apps, and more. But which are worth your time and money? Here I share the 5 apps that I pay for. Three are specific products; two are types of products. With 25 years in cycling media, l’ve tested a lot of stuff. This list isn’t necessarily the apps with the shiniest, newest, most metric-heavy features out there - just the ones I actually use as a customer. -- Show your support for The Ride with a sweet Castelli jersey or pair of PULL THRU socks: https://www.theride.bike/store Want to see what I'm testing now?
