Cycling Manager 4 Demo' title='Cycling Manager 4 Demo' />DARREN COPE Cycling Software. Cycling Software. What software can you use while on the bikeCan software help you train better to improve your cycling How can I log my rides and compare myself over time or to other riders All excellent questions, which I share. These questions inspired me to do some research, and the result is this list. Perhaps some of the software listed here can help you too Since cycling can be a very numbers based sport, its no surprise that there is a proliferation of software packages available to the athlete. The intent of this page is to provide an ever evolving list of these software packages that are related to cycling in some way. I dont claim that this is a complete or fully accurate list, but if you have changes or additions, Id love to hear them feel free to contact me Ive attempted to break the list up into useful categories, but of course much of this software crosses categories, so its debatable where best to put some items  Ive put an asterisk beside what I feel are the best of the best, or that I personally use and enjoy.
