Before you can use Cychosis to log your rides, you must create at least one bike. Tap the Bikes icon at the bottom, then tap the + icon at the top right of the screen. All fields but name are optional. Tap Save.

To make entering rides faster, you can optionally set your most often used bike as the default. Tap the Settings icon at the bottom, then tap Defaul Bike. Choose your default bike and then tap Done. Now when entering a new ride, this bike will be pre-filled and you won't have to choose it each time.'

You can optionally create one or more distance goals. Tap Goals at the bottom, then the + icon to create a new goal. You must enter a name, distance, and the date you hope to complete the goal by. Then tap save. You'll see how to associated a goal with a ride further down.

If many or most of your rides will be toward one or more goals, you can optionally setup defaults to make entering rides faster. Tap Settings at the bottom, then Default goals. Tap the goals you want as your defaults, and check marks will appear next to the defaults. Tap Done.

Routes are simply a convenient means of reusing common ride information. Tap Routes at the bottom and the + icon to enter a new route. Enter a name, distance, and other optional information. Tap Save. When entering a ride (see below), you can use the route chooser to quickly choose from common routes. You can always override the values from a saved route when entering a ride.

This is the most common operation. After finishing a ride, tap Rides at the bottom, then the + icon at the top right. You will be presented with the screen above. To choose a saved Route, tap the '>' in route, and pick your route -- after which you can change any of the fields which get pre-filled. To enter an arbitrary route name, just tap in the middle of the field to bring up the keyboard. Tap the other fields to enter your values, then tap Save.

When on the rides screen you can get a chart of the current filter -- Choose Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, or All -- then rotate your device 90 degrees left or right and a chart view for that period will appear. You can currently chart distance, average speed, and time in the saddle. Tap the chart to bring up and dismiss the type buttons.

You can delete any item (Ride, Route, Goal, or Bike) using the standard swipe gesture -- run your finger from left to right across the item you want to delete and a delete button will appear. Tap it to delete, or tap away from it to abort.

You can edit any item by tapping the blue '>' icon. This will take you to a screen with the fields for that item -- change the fields and tap Save or Cancel.

If you have a twitter account, you can configure Cychosis to tweet the stats from a ride right after entering it. This is a great way to let your family and friends keep track of your riding. Enter your twitter account details, and tap the Test Connection button. If successful, tap the Save button. Now as soon as you tap Save when entering a ride, Cychosis will send the stats as a tweet to your account.

Tap Settings at the bottom to make various changes to how Cychosis works. Here you can set metric mode, toggle on and off the Rides summary screen, etc.

Cychosis allows you to export your ride data as a comma separated values file (useful in spreadsheet programs). Tap Settings, and then Export Rides. You will be asked for permission to export the rides off your device, and then presented with a screen which explains how to retrieve the data via your PC or Mac.
