TestRides Bicycle Fit iPhone App
Oh, I can hear it now from Eddie:  “This doesn’t take pedaling dynamics into consideration…etc, etc.”
Regardless, the TestRides iPhone app from Wild Lab is pretty cool looking.  It’s called a “Virtual Bike Fitting Room” and it intended for people who are considering buying a bike sight-unseen based on measurements online, in a classified ad or at some bike shop that’s beyond driving distance for just a looky-loo.
What’s really cool is that you take a photo of yourself to create a virtual “you” that then gets fit to a virtual bike that you create based on the measurements you have.  Nifty if not novelty.  It’s $4.99 US on iTunes (link will open iTunes if you have it on your computer).

What if you have leg and arm length discrepancies. This is not substituting getting an actual bike fit done.
Good idea for a bicycle app. I’ll add it to the list I have been building on the site. There’s more and more of these apps coming out for us cyclists.
