Hellingen App 03.jpgAs Classics season starts, new app features Belgium's toughest climbs
Classics season gets under way today in Belgium with the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, and as the cycling world's attention turns to Belgium, a new smartphone app has been launched that features the climbs that will figure in some of the sport's biggest races in the coming weeks.
The Hellingen App is based on Simon Warren's book of the same name and follows his recently launched 100 Climbs app which focuses on the top ascents in the UK.
It uses GPS and syncs with Strava, handy if you're heading across the Channel to the land of beer, frites and Eddy Merckx to tackle the cobbles yourself.
Priced at £3.99, you can download it from iTunes and Google Play.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Spot on, Kask's chin strap is faux leather (contra the review's claim that it's real leather) and excellent, by far the best I've used. It's snug...

Yes, it does seem reasonable - but not in the motonormativity world, where people just don't want to admit where the problem lies.
But at least they're halfway there...
I definitely agree that we could do with better crossings and junctions....
