Build an ESP32 Bike Computer: Parts, Firmware and a 3D-Printed Case
The display board is only one part of a ride-ready build. Match the firmware, power, enclosure and mounting before taking the prototype onto the road.
Ride guides
Clear answers about Apple Watch workouts, Apple Maps navigation, bike computers and the connections between them.

The display board is only one part of a ride-ready build. Match the firmware, power, enclosure and mounting before taking the prototype onto the road.
02
Choose the app around the job: recording, route guidance, offline maps or a connected display. Those features do not always come in the same package.
03
Bring a planned route into Bicino, inspect it before riding and confirm what has been saved locally. Importing a route is separate from uploading a workout.
04
An address appearing on the map does not guarantee a cycling route. Check regional support first, then investigate the particular journey.
05
Your normal rides are a better starting point than a universal hours claim. Measure the setup you actually use, then leave room for delays.
06
Phone-free recording, offline maps and offline navigation are separate capabilities. Check which parts of your ride are actually stored on the Watch.
07
A ride missing entirely, a ride without its map and a ride missing sensor data are different problems. Here is how to find the broken handoff.
08
Watts, cadence and speed come from different measurements. Start with the right sensor, then check the entire path from pairing to the saved workout.
09
The Apple Watch is an excellent heart-rate recorder, but it is not a universal Bluetooth heart-rate strap. Here are the setups that actually work.
10
Your Watch can record the ride. The real question is whether you want navigation and ride data continuously visible on the bars.
11
“Works with Apple Maps” can mean anything from sharing a destination to showing every turn. This guide separates those very different experiences.
12
A cycling workout and turn-by-turn directions can coexist. The best setup depends on which screen you want to glance at while moving.
13
An iPhone is the richest cycling screen you already own. A bike computer is easier to leave visible. The middle ground is a connected display.
