Cyclemeter Story: QJ Henderson

I’d like to share a recent experience I had using your Cyclemeter app. A friend and I recently tackled the challenge of riding across Kansas in an organized ride called ‘Bike Across Kansas.’ (http://www.bak.org/) It was the 36th year for the ride, which had more than 800 riders. It’s a 475 mile journey taking 8 days and 7 nights. About a month before the ride, I started looking for bike computers that I could take along on the ride. I have an iPhone so decided to look for appropriate apps too. I was impressed with the description of Cyclemeter, but the user ratings were what convinced me to download it. I tested the app for several weeks. My wife and family really liked its ability to email them a link to a map that would allow them to track my progress across Kansas. So, instead of spending $300 on a high-end cycle computer, I chose to go with Cyclemeter. I loaded up email addresses for our immediate family members as they were looking forward to tracking our progress, in real time, each day of the trip. So many people wanted these updates I ended up with 40-50 people on my email list! I’m really excited to see the continued updates to the app. I will end by saying that the Cyclemeter app is a 5-star application that I look forward to using for a long time. Congratulations to your team on an excellent job.
