In 1895, Curtis H. Veeder invented the Cyclometer. [1] [2] [3] The Cyclometer was a simple mechanical device that counted the number of rotations of a bicycle wheel.[4] [5] A cable transmitted the number of rotations of the wheel to an analog odometer visible to the rider, which converted the wheel rotations into the number of miles traveled according to a predetermined formula.
rattleCAD — is a parametric 2D CAD software specific for bicycle design, [1] [2] in particular for design bicycle frame, [3] [4] developed by the Austrian cyclist and programmer Manfred Rosenberger since 2008. [5]
A wireless system that can be retrofitted onto any bicycle was announced in 2016. [12] The front and rear derailleurs remain in place, while a wireless gear-change controller is added to the handlebar, with configuration of the system via an iOS/Android app, and customization can be added to the button controllers via the Bluetooth app. [13]
An electronic odometer (below speedometer) with digital display showing 91,308 miles (146,946 km) from a Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ). An odometer or odograph is an instrument used for measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle, such as a bicycle or car.
Hubodometer Veeder-Root Hubodometer Veeder-Root Original Veeder Counter Veeder Company Cyclometer Poster 1900. A hubometer (from hub, center of a wheel; -ometer, measure of) or hubodometer, is a device mounted on the axle of any land vehicle to measure the distance traveled by a vehicle based on the rotations of the wheel hub.
Mobile data is the use of wireless data communications using radio waves to send and receive real-time computer data to, from, and between devices used by field-based personnel. These devices can be fitted solely for use while in the vehicle (Fixed Data Terminal) or for use in and out of the vehicle (Mobile Data Terminal).
Dashboard instruments displaying various car and engine conditions. Where the dashboard originally included an array of simple controls (e.g., the steering wheel) and instrumentation to show speed, fuel level and oil pressure, the modern dashboard may accommodate a broad array of gauges, and controls as well as information, climate control and entertainment systems.
Most cycling power meters use strain gauges to measure torque applied, and when combined with angular velocity, calculate power. [1] The technology was adapted to cycling in the late 1980s and was tested in professional bicycle racing i.e.: the prototype Power Pacer (Team Strawberry) and by Greg LeMond with the SRM device. This type of power ...
