Cycling Stopwatch
About the Cycling Stopwatch
Cyclists chase segments - the climb, the sprint strip, the gravel sector - and a cycling stopwatch times those pieces without waiting for GPS to settle under tree cover. On wooded roads and switchbacks, satellite pace wobbles; a lap at the summit sign or the cattle gate is ground truth. This page is for the rider who knows the course: lap at the top of the repeat, lap at the end of the interval block, lap at the town-line sign you have used for years. The split list shows whether the third repeat was genuinely slower or whether headwind made it feel that way.
How to use it
- Pick fixed segment markers - summit signs, gates, town lines.
- Mount or prop the phone where you can glance without weaving.
- Start at the segment opening cue with Start or a gloved tap.
- Lap at each marker or repeat summit as you complete segments.
- Copy splits with wind and gear notes before reset.
Good to know
The stopwatch counts while this tab is open. A slept tab can pause or jump. For a race result you may need to keep the phone unlocked in your hand.

Why not use my bike computer?
Landmark laps stay honest in tree cover; the stopwatch also needs no pairing or subscription.

How do I mount it on the bike?
Stem bag, top tube pouch, or a passenger motorbike mount - glance safely, never weave.
