Cyclemeter Story: Sean Overend

I just completed the annual 300km ride around Lake Vattern in Sweden along with 21,000 other riders. I used Cyclemeter for the entire ride and for me, the highlight was that it allowed me to send out email messages to my friends and family every hour, throughout the ride, entirely automatically. My son in Newbury, my daughter in Istanbul and local Swedish recipients all knew precisely how the ride was going and were able to send messages back to me via SMS (which I could see on the screen without stopping the app), or email or by way of Facebook. I’m so glad to see that the latest version of Cyclemeter can run in the background, thanks to the new iPhone operating system that allows multitasking.
