What apple watch apps are people using for cycling? Are there apps which work without requiring the iPhone to be on the bike?

Strava.  Just tracking commutes and joining local challenges (like Freezing Saddles, etc).  The watch app can independently track your ride then sync with the phone later, if you prefer that route.

Be prepared for Strava to encourage you to be "the fastest" and refer to you as an "athlete" constantly.  Super annoying.

I really like Ride With GPS!
Pretty similar to strava, but it doesn't have the KOM/social competitive features that strava ships with.

I use the built-in Apple Workouts app and then sync it with Strava. Works great.

I like Ride With GPS a lot, too. It’s helped me stop using cyclocomputers, which is far more relaxing. No info about speed or distance to distract me during the ride, but then after my curiosity gets sated by looking through the Ride With GPS data.

Best of both worlds!

Dave, who will most definitely not put any digital devices on the handlebars of the amazing new green Rambouillet that arrived here today but that’s a topic for another post

Hi,
I’ve been bicycling since 1970 and never once had a bike computer. They are totally not needed.
Enjoy the ride...
