Video: From calorie counter, to power output and mapping your ride; cycling's top 10 apps

God be with the days when any time we went out training we put our heads down, our arses up and rode ourselves into oblivion.

In the modern era the approach to the sport has become a lot more scientific.

Riders know more about their bodies and how they react to different types of training.

Marginal gains are relentlessly pursued and riders want to take the guess work out of the training process that is now so carefully researched, crafted and refined.

Time is also at a premium and in an effort to maximise those precious hours we put into the bike, technology is the key for many riders looking to become as good as they can with the time and talent at their disposal.

There’s a huge range of apps on the market all making various promises. This clip reviews 10 good ones.
