Strava (Free or upgrade to Premium for $9.99*/month): Strava is not only a miniature cycling computer that will help you determine how fast you are tracking on a selected segment - such as the local hard climb - it also has a social component to it.

It also contains dozens of videos and hundreds of images that will help you keep your bike in tip-top shape using easy to follow steps.

Google Maps (Free for IOS and Android): Still one of the best apps out there, Google Maps helps cyclists by providing them with up-to-date, safe, biking routes, turn-by-turn directions and estimated travel time, real-time updates on traffic conditions and ETAs, etc. Plus Google Maps has the added benefit of being free and easy to use.
