London Cyclist has released the London Bike Rides iPhone app, a guide to 30 rides across the capital.

The app includes a variety of easy, medium and hard routes, from gentle canal towpath family rides to the 120-mile Dunwich Dynamo.

Alongside a map of each route, the app includes more than 100 pictures and videos to give an overview of each ride, while sights and attractions are listed, as well as cafes, pubs and bike shops.

“The app is the first of its kind and offers a good variety of routes,” Andreas Kambanis told RoadCyclingUK. “I’m often a bit surprised that other cycling guides offer such short route suggestions. I feel these could largely be walked.

“The London Bike Rides app features longer rides that are suitable for casual cyclists to more hardcore roadies.

“For example, the 38-mile route around Orpington is great for building up the training miles. There’s also a couple of weekend rides for escaping the capital”

The London Bike Rides app is available from the App Store at the reduced price of £1.79 for two weeks, with the final retail price to be set at £2.99.
