Can B.iCycle be used for other sports or without a bike mount?
B.iCycle is tailor made for biking in a way that speed measurements and calorie calculation as well as the user interface target the best precision and experience when biking with the iPhone in a cradle at the handle bar. It will only record your data when the screen is on as Apple considers the screen locked as an indication for power safe mode where the GPS will be disabled. However, the map feature and mailing your routes to your email account for later review in Google Earth will also work for hikers. You can watch your trail and you will be able to check the distance you hiked.
