Hit the road

Some apps allow bikers to connect with their community

. Polarsteps: THIS app allows you to journal every step of your ride, from the special moments, the pit stops and the winding roads to the memories. The app has features that let you track your journey, schedule your trips and geo-tag your photos into a shareable map to reveal at a later stage.

. Eat, Sleep, Ride: Easily one of the most popular picks, it is a mainstay for bikers and adventurers around the world. This GPS-based app allows for ride-tracking, and discovering newer routes, mileage and lean angles. A holistic app for motorcyclists, this app allows your family and friends to track your journey as well. The paid version of this app includes features that track collisions and emergency situations.

. Rever: A free mobile app and website system, Rever enables the biker to connect with the global community of motorcyclists. It facilitates easy interactions with other riders, creates customised routes, tracks your rides and shares features for your social media. In many cases, the Rever app has come to replace traditional GPS systems due to its advanced geo-location features.

. Drivvo: This app is a handy companion for motorcyclists with features like fuel logs, mileage-tracking, ride-tracking and sharing. The mainstay of this app is the ‘where to refuel' feature, though it is subject to location and availability in the area. The paid version includes features that allow for cloud backups and syncing that may not be available on the regular version.
