Ride with the phone you already own.
A live ride readout on your bars, fed by your Garmin watch, or the phone's own GPS and a Bluetooth heart rate strap. Not a replacement for a bike computer — the cheapest way to find out whether you'd use one.
Opens in Apple's TestFlight app. iPhone only for now — the Android beta isn't open yet.

In beta
Being built in the open, on the way to production.
CycleBridge is not in the App Store or on Google Play yet. The iPhone app was submitted to Apple on 15 September and is in open beta on TestFlight while that review runs, so you can ride with it today. The changelog is the real build log: every entry says whether it is in the beta, built but not yet in a build you can install, or still to do.
In beta Latest you can install
The iPhone app is open for testing
The iPhone app was submitted to Apple on 15 September. Anyone with an iPhone can install that build now, through Apple’s TestFlight, rather than waiting for the App Store review to finish — the home page leads with the link. Everything above this entry landed after the submission and is not in the beta.
5 changes built since, not yet in a build you can install.

02 · Who it is forWhat this is, and what it is not
Not a replacement for a bike computer. The way to find out whether you want one.
A Garmin Edge or a Wahoo is a better bike computer than a phone in a mount: it lasts longer, shrugs off rain and reads in any light. What it cannot tell you beforehand is whether you would look at it. Ride with CycleBridge for a few weeks — the same screens, the same numbers, the watch you already wear — and you will know which fields you actually glance down at, whether you want a map on the bars, and whether a head unit is worth its price to you. If it is, buy one. If it is not, you have spent nothing.
Riding with a Garmin watch, the ride is recorded properly on the watch. The phone is only ever the screen.
