A few months after I began running, I went on a long (for me) bike ride, and brought Runkeeper along. I had the units set to kilometers, because while running I wanted frequent indications of progress, and grunted approval each time that annoying voice called out my time and distance. But on my bike, it seemed she would have just finished telling me my position, and she was calling out another K completed. I was flying! Not to mention the fact that I could cover level ground while sitting idle and watching birds, and the downs were a treat rather than a punishment.

Not long after I gave up on buses.

That's a fun idea. I'm downloading both, Runkeeper and that charity app recommended above. Thanks :0
