Cycling is a major transportation method and enjoyable part of exercise regimens throughout the world, but the bicycle itself is a relatively ancient piece of technology. Longer distances between work and home have motivated many to abandon the bike in lieu of an automobile, and a bout of stormy weather can ruin outdoor fitness plans without a moment’s notice. Instead of falling out of the bike riding habit, you can use Rideo, an interactive iOS application, to get a replica of the experience.
Rideo integrates Bluetooth sensors with the processing power of iOS products to create a portable and customizable exercise bike. The application displays a selection of virtual ride experiences that help you get a sense of adventure without setting one tire out of the door while collecting data from the sensors on your speed, distance traveled, and the time of the trip. For both cycling enthusiasts who need a backup plan and those looking to start a fitness regimen who have trouble moving out the door, Rideo is an intuitive and modern solution to exercise equipment design.
To use all of the application’s features, you will need to have a few pieces of equipment, some of which you might have on hand. The ones you are least likely to already possess are a Bluetooth-enabled heart rate monitor and a Speed and Cadence Sensor, such as the ones manufactured by Panobike that are available through online retailers. Two magnets, one placed on one of the pedals and the other on a spoke of the back wheel, swing past the sensors as you naturally use the training bike and induce an electrical current, creating the information that’s sent to Rideo. Beyond the sensors, you will need a bicycle, training stand, and an iOS device capable of running the application. For the best experience, use a larger display with higher resolution to more accurately mimic a real cycling adventure.
Features include:
*Streamed HD Video content as a visual aid to keep you motivated while you exercise.
