Communal cycling online

[ posted by Iain Monday, February 06, 2006 ]

Sorry to those who have contacted me through the contact form recently, I have been a little slow in replying.

I have received a few emails about online community tools for logging training and mileage. It's something I have thought about doing for herneweb in then form of a training log but I haven't had the time to get this off the ground. Having said that, any contributions to the climbs log or rides and features sections are always welcome.

Here are a few tools along the same lines that have come to my attention

BikeFacts.co.uk - This is a nice little app under development. It allows commuters to log their performances to and from work and compare their times against other commuters. I am glad to see that they do not advocate an extreme/no holds barred race to work and highlight the importance of following normal road regulations. I will follow the development of this with interest; it looks like a good fun community tool.

Entryworks - JoT - this is, to quote the site, "a fully featured online Training Log and Fitness Journal. Manage daily workout data: track fitness, monitor nutrition, lose weight...". I had a browse round the site using the demo login and it has a fair few features and has training programs for many sports other than cycling.

Spinner Saturday - The Amazing Shrinking Man runs a weekly mileage round up for those wishing to submit their numbers. Nice and quick!

I started using BikeJournal.com last year, it's pretty good. Covers about everything and ranks you against everyone else!
