The Best Bike Computer is a biking performance tracking application developed by a biker. It tracks various metrics from your bike ride and saves them for review in Best Bike or export in a CSV file. The exported file can be opened with Excel for detailed analysis. In addition to saving your bike trip data in the application, Best Bike exports it to the Apple Health application (calories burned, cycling distance and workout).
