Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for determining a power phase and other force-related performance of a bicyclist while riding a bicycle. Sensors measure a force applied by the bicyclist to the left and right pedals. The measurement data is analyzed to determine the power phase performance by correlating the force applied by the bicyclist to the left and right pedals with corresponding angles of the left and right cranks. A series of changes in the power phase performance during the ride is recorded. A series of changes in the geographic location of the bicyclist and/or a series of changes in one or more performance metrics while riding the bicycle may also be recorded. The series of changes in the bicyclist's power phase performance, the geographic location, and the performance metrics may be correlated, graphically communicated in real-time or post-ride, and used to improve the bicyclist's performance.
