Interesting Ride tracking app

DanBow · 15/9/20

Do any of you use a ride tracking app?

I've just started using Yamaha MyRide. I've tried a couple of others but I like this one. You can post your ride publicly on the app, minus incriminating evidence if you wish, for others to see and export others rides to a gps to follow.

This is a screenshot of what I see. When its posted to the public part of the app the speed section, greyed out here, isnt shown.

I don't use an app but which ever bike I'm on I have the satnav on. No destination set but it always records the route I've done.
So if I ever want to bring it up I just put it onto the pc.

I use RoadID. Designed for cyclists but works for biking. Records the route and also emails/texts up to 3 people if you end up on your arse.

I've just downloaded the Yamaha app, give it a go. I can see my route from the trackers but I'm fascinated by the lean angle; I want to see how far I go. The furthest mine go over is when they're on their side stands, f'ing crap, me

I quite like the lean angle too and the acceleration. The acceleration will definitely get tested!

Is Chester a nice place to visit for a short break?

Always fancied it but never known why.

Chester is a very nice place to visit. Lots of history. You can walk all the way around the city on the Roman walls and by the river, on a sunny day, is simply stunning. In the town centre itself there are The Rows, shops above shops that date back a couple of hundred years. The Eastgate clock, which my great-great-great grandad helped to build. There a cathedral that's well worth a visit too.

It's bit pricey but well worth it.

I'm from Chester but I'm not biased!

Still trying to figure out why people are interested in this sort of stuff

Can you still shoot the Welsh/Scots with a longbow within the city walls?

Yes but only after dark.

I use RoadID so that if I come to grief my missus will know precisely where to put the flowers.

No interest in lean angles or acceleration.

Excellent!

Do let us know when you visit Chester, @Beaker.

Maybe a bit of longbow practise, at least.

Hopefully you can make it as I would love to hear more about the dimensions of your post rammer thing.

Didn't you know that posts about Diy stuff are frowned upon by some on here?

No names...
