Revolutionize Your Summer Fitness Routine With Advanced GPS Tracking for Cycling Enthusiasts

The fitness benefits of cycling are seemingly endless. Riding your bike may help you lose weight, lower cholesterol, strengthen your legs, boost mental health, and improve balance and posture. Now, the latest technology can help you get even more from your cycling workouts. 

When planning your cycling fitness routine this summer, think about investing in a GPS tracker like the ones sold by LandAirSea (LAS). These small devices, which fit inside your pocket or attach to your bike, generate real-time speed, distance, and location data that you can use to transform your workouts and help you reach your fitness goals. Find out more below! 

What Are GPS Trackers for Cycling?

GPS trackers receive signals from GPS satellites in space to determine the location of any item attached to them, such as your bike. These products then send location data to a mobile app on your smartphone or tablet, letting you discover your precise location when cycling. They also calculate the distance and speed you travel on your bike. 

Because trackers rely on GPS signals, they don't need a Wi-Fi or cellular connection to work. That means you can look up distance, speed, and location data on your smart device even when cycling in remote areas. 

GPS trackers are compact devices that measure a few inches in height and width, making them much smaller than traditional in-car GPS systems like TomTom. You can place one of these devices in the pocket of your cycling shorts or attach one to various areas of your bicycle, such as under the seat or on a handlebar, with cables or magnets. 

How GPS Trackers Improve Your Summer Cycling Routine

If you want to get more from your cycling routine this summer, GPS trackers can help. Here are some of the ways these products improve your workouts: 

Track your distance

GPS trackers measure the distance you travel on your bicycle via a process called trilateration. By calculating how long it takes signals from GPS satellites to reach your tracking device, these products can determine how far you travel during a workout, providing useful insights that help you reach your fitness goals. 

As long as you keep a charged GPS tracker in your pocket or attach one to your bike, you can learn the distance you cover during each cycling workout this summer. Use this information to discover whether your stamina and endurance are improving as a cyclist. Alternatively, enter the distance you traveled during a workout into an online calculator and see how many calories you've burned. 

LAS devices make it easy to calculate your distance in real time during your cycling routine. These products send data to the Silvercloud app, which you can download onto your iOS or Android device. Just open the app at any time during your workout to see how far you've traveled on your bike. You can also check historical distance data from previous workouts. 

Track your speed

As well as tracking distance with GPS trackers, you can also find out what speed you travel on your bike during workouts. These devices calculate speed by determining how fast you move between different locations or "waypoints." That provides insights into your cycling routine that you can use to improve performance. 

Say you want to cycle at a particular speed so you can burn a certain number of calories within a specific time. (For example, research shows that biking at a speed of 12-13.9 miles per hour can help a 155 lb person burn nearly 300 calories in 30 minutes.) By knowing what speed you travel on your bike, you can reach your goals and improve your fitness.

LAS devices not only calculate your speed when cycling but can send you custom notifications when riding your bike too fast. That might be useful if you are cycling on rough terrain or other surfaces that pose a risk when traveling at high speeds. This feature can improve your safety during exercise and prevent you from having an accident. 

Track your progress

The best GPS trackers save your biking routes so you can refer to them in the future. That helps you learn whether your cycling speed and distance have increased over time. By checking this historical data, you can learn what you need to improve to reach your fitness goals this summer. You might need to work on your speed, for example, if it's been slow in the past. 

As well as providing historical data about previous cycling workouts, LAS devices also let you share your progress with friends and family. Products with Sharespot capabilities make it easy to send distance and speed data to loved ones, and you can access this feature in the Silvercloud app. 

Improve navigation

GPS trackers provide live maps of your area, helping you locate the best cycling routes. For example, you can find cycling trails in your community that let you ride your bike at high speeds. You can also calculate the distance to these cycling spots from your home. 

After finding the best places for cycling in your area, you can favorite these locations on the Silvercloud app and refer to them when planning your routes. You can also mark areas unsuitable for riding your bike, such as dangerous terrain or high-traffic locations.
