The hiking changes are arguably more useful, with elevation on the compass, new waypoints telling you where to go to get the best phone signal, and (US only for now) topographical maps of your terrain. The cycling app allows you to transform your iPhone into a basic cycling computer by streaming your metrics to your phone and full-screening them, while if you pair it with an external Bluetooth cycling sensor, you also get new metrics.
