Useful Bike Links and Apps - Twitchin Kitten - 07-02-2011
I figured this is as good a place to stick a thread where good bike info can be found fast.
With the iPhone I've found a few good apps that hooked me up to a few good websites for submitting trail pictures, reviews and what not. I'll add more as I find more.

I just picked up the deal of the week on Ebay and found a good Ebay bike shop at the same time.
Topeak weatherproof ride case sells for around $70 normally and does not include the mounting bracket for the bike.
I just picked up a bracket AND mount for $50 on ebay!
