Smart Phone App Question

Written by Boston Biker on Apr 14

Got this in the email, anyone know any good iphone/smart phone apps for bike maps and mounts to hold them?

I was wondering if you could recommend a bike map app and possibly a mount?

If you know drop your answer in the comments.

Using The Iphone For More Than Texting Your Friends

Written by Boston Biker on Nov 07

So you know all them cool kids with their Iphones, this has got to be the best possible use I have seen yet for one.

Using a simple ap, and a custom bag addition (more info to come soon), this intrepid biker has created what has to be one of the slickest safety lights yet.

The best part is, the ap is customizable, want it to look like a fire truck, how about a police light, maybe you just want to the light to come on while you move (it can do that as well).

I asked how it is on battery life, and apparently it is not bad. I have seen this working in real life and can tell you it is highly visible from a long ways away.
