“I have often struggled to comprehend the need for carrying a smartphone while out cycling. Yes, I have been told several times just how convenient it would be were I to suffer a mechanical malfeasance and have need of calling for assistance. But, I have replied, I have been riding in the principality for nigh on 31 years without recourse to aid from Apple or Samsung and it is a salient fact that there are still many areas of the island in which it is impossible to connect to a mobile network.

However, just when I thought I’d built an ironclad case, transferable amongst my fellow  pelotonese, Ian Pugh happens along with the bicycle maintenance guide app for the iPhone (an android version is in the works) at the miserly price of only £3.99.

This well-designed piece of software for iOS and Android devices offers a remarkably comprehensive guide on how to maintain or repair your bicycle. It's split into sections featuring professionally filmed how to videos, an illustrated explanation of a bicycle's principal components, a servicing guide covering, weekly, monthly and full-service instructions, a diagnostics section to help you figure out what that strange creaking noise might be and the very reason you might wish to take your phone with you, a section on roadside repairs.”
