jeez - just use strava/mapmyride/or any number of gps logging tools to verify mileage/date/times/outdoors etc.
ReplyDeleteDo you need a decent phone for mapmyride anon or will a crappy android do? Would love to give that a try.
ReplyDeleteAndroid should work fine! I'm not a fan of MapMyRide's Android app but Strava is good, as is Runkeeper (which has a cycling option, despite the name).
ReplyDeleteThe apps are excellent for short trips, but they aren't much use for long activities (6 hours+ cycles or walks) because having GPS burns through battery life. Maybe that's why Bikebug prefers cycle computers?
on most phones you can turn off the actual network signal , and data too, and save heaps of battery or take out the sim. You can buy gps watches from aldi for 20quid and upload that to phone or pc, and the watches last ages, as well as not having to find space on the handle bar.
ReplyDeletethanks anon
