3. Map My Ride: This oldie but goody is a popular app that allows cyclists to find new routes. It’s an exceptional way to explore new areas, especially when traveling.

4. The Roadie Bike Fit: Want a proper bike fit? Although this app is not comparable to the kind of fit you might get at a shop, it’s inexpensive and easy to use. Take a couple of photos and type in your measurements and you are all set. Of course, you’ll have to have someone on hand to take the pictures for you unless your selfie skills are way above average! $5
5. Bike Repair: We’ve all faced it before- the bike has issues, and a trip to the shop comes with a hefty price tag. Sometimes it makes you wonder if you should just repair it yourself. Enter Bike Repair! This app is basically a giant manual explaining how to complete many problems you might encounter. It comes with an array of photos and walkthroughs to guide you through the repair, and even has included purchase guides. $4
