Announcing Cyclemeter 2.0

Cyclemeter 2.0 Transforms the iPhone 3G/3GS into a Powerful Cycling Computer with Google Map Sharing, Twitter Text-to-Speech and More

iTunes’ best selling cycling app Cyclemeter makes training easy with control via Apple earphone remote and motivational support from Twitter community

San Francisco – January 20, 2010 – iPhone fitness application developer Abvio LLC today added Cyclemeter 2.0 to its list of health and fitness offerings for the iPhone 3G/3GS. Already an iTunes best seller for cyclists, version 2.0 adds new features to turn the iPhone into a powerful GPS stopwatch, giving cyclists the feedback and motivation to ride faster, go farther, burn more calories and become healthier. Cyclemeter 2.0 also offers built-in Twitter text-to-speech so cyclists can hear Twitter replies during rides from coaches, fellow riders and family. Cyclemeter 2.0 further improves ease-of-use and safety with voice announcements and the ability to use the Apple earphone remote to start/stop the app.

“I have tried a few of the other bike apps out there and nothing compares to Cyclemeter. I had been using another iPhone app, not designed for cycling, but so much of the ride information was uploaded to a Web site and not kept on my phone,” said Rick Savage, Cyclemeter user. “I absolutely love the voice announcements, which allows me to train harder during my daily 20 mile route to and from work.”

The new Google Maps feature in Cyclemeter 2.0 lets riders send links to maps of rides and routes via email or Twitter. Cyclemeter continually records ride time, location, distance, elevation and pace and allows riders to see results on maps, graphs and a calendar organized by routes and activities. Cyclemeter 2.0 is battery-friendly, unlike many GPS applications for the iPhone, so cyclists can train for up to six hours without recharging, or for many days using battery extenders. For training and sharing purposes, cyclists can export the ride data from their iPhone in GPX and KML or in CSV directly to a spreadsheet.

“Cyclists want first-rate equipment, and we built Cyclemeter with their expectations and needs in mind,” said Steve Kusmer, co-founder and CEO of Abvio. “We are grateful that our customers have made us the top selling iPhone application for cycling, and we are continuing to improve Cyclemeter at break-neck speed.”

Cyclemeter 2.0 is entirely iPhone-centric. It requires no Web site login or monthly subscription and is completely ad-free. Cyclemeter 2.0 is available now on the Apple iTunes App Store (www.abvio.com/getcyclemeter) for $4.99 (US). For a product tour, please go to www.cyclemeter.com.
