The sun is out, the wet weather is a thing of the past, we hope, and we want to dust off the cobwebs on our bikes and start riding them again. There’s nothing like it, steaming along on hidden tracks. We love Orange Mountain bikes here at The App Whisperer.com and have a great selection to ride. Whatever your choice of bike you’re going to set it for the summer. So we have put together some great apps here, some for maintenance, some for navigation, some for fitness – a whole heap of them for you and your bike, take a look.

Other features include a bike rack locator, a bike shop locator, and the ability to report thefts from a given bike rack or location. Future features will include personalized routes and a list of suggested rides (for leisure).

Our routing engine will always try to keep you riding on bike paths and Greenways or streets with bike lanes as opposed to riding on plain old streets.
