What makes cycling in the hills of mountains so special? The challenge, the view, the scenery or cycling together with friends? Everyone has their own memories and highlights while biking through the famous hills, or even more over those epic high mountains. Our app helps you achieve your cycling dreams of conquering those iconic mountains from the world of professional cycling. You will never forget that climb because it is now in your myCols profile. A personal profile with all your climbs, times, challenges, jerseys and stories. Moreover, you will find all the details and the app even calculates all your climbing times. What makes myCols so special?

We connect our app with Garmin, Strava, Suunto or Wahoo When connected to Garmin, Strava, Suunto or Wahoo we analyse all you rides and we make a list of all your climbs based on those rides in the past. We even update your profile automatically based on your new rides and climbs. See your own efforts in your own profile Based on our own analyses we calculate your climbing times. You even get a message when you conquer some new climbs or made a new personal best time.
