Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

I used to have my phone strapped to my handlebars, until the mount broke going downhill at 25+mph and my iPhone went bouncing off into the bushes at the side of the road.
Needless to say, I ponied up for an refurb Garmin after that.
Strapping expensive and fragile technology to your handlebars just isn't a good idea, no matter how good the app is.
I've been running a similar named, but not the same, app for my bike on my android phone. It does not look as polished as this but it sounds like it does do everything that this does and it does not require facebook login. I do really like the look of the reviewed app but I think I will choose function over form and stick to BikeComputer Pro
It did look lovely but you need to have a facebook account to have it do anything useful, and that's a big no.
