Idea for cycling Android app
I was out for a spin on my bike today and I had an idea for an Android app (or any other smartphone you like). Often when cyclists are training they want to complete a certain distance. A typical training method is to complete a small number - say 2 or 3 - normal rides per week. These might be an hour long. In addition the key part of the training system is a long spin - often at the weekend. The duration of the long spin gets longer (or more intense) as the training plan proceeds. Something like this: Monday - 30km Tuesday - rest Wednesday - 30km Thursday - rest Friday - 30km Sunday - 50km Cyclists end up having to calculate routes of varying lengths near their homes, or a few small loops which they add multiples of onto the end of a training ride in order to get the correct distance. If they decide to push their mileage up in a big jump, they can end up over training or getting an injury, so this is important stuff. My idea is an app that tracks the users mile...
