SUPPORT DISCUSSIONS

Hola,

Estoy usando MiCoach para mi entrenamiento en MTB y estoy contento porque veo progresos.

Sería muy interesante y útil para los ciclistas un medidor de cadencia de pedalada, velocímetro y sobre todo altímetro e inclinometro.

Con este equipamiento puedo medir las subidas y bajadas para saber cuanto esfuerzo empleo en tal o cual inclinación.

Podria elejir una subida donde sabría que el esfuerzo que emplearé no me hace salir de la zona objetivo.

Además podría comparar las inclinaciones que puedo subir fácil o con mayor dificultad y asi conocer donde devo entrenarme para mejorar mi resistencia y fuerza en las subidas.

También podria comparar las subidas que estoy en condiciones de percorrer con aquellas que me proporcionan con antícipo en las carreras de MTB, de ésta manera podría saber si puedo correr la carrera o es demasiado dificil para mi.

Resumiendo, seria genial si se encontrara en el mercado el equipamiento MiCoach para la bicicleta.

Saludos.

I like variety in my workouts .  I just bought a pair of inline skates to spice up my exercise routine.  I agree it would be great if miCoach could coach you though a variety of sport activities, i.e., weight training, cycling, running, inline skating, etc. Future versions of the device will no doubt include expanded capability.  My only hope is that rather than having to buy a whole new miCoach, I'll simply be able to download the upgrades  to my existing sensor and buy the additional accessories I need, i.e., cadence sensor.

I use a great bike mount called the spiderpodium, holds my iPhone really well and fits any bike/phone see it here www.breffo.com, if you search youtube too you can see videos of it going through shake tests on MTB bikes. Did my first assessment today and for and came very close to being knocked off my bike - not the best start!

I bought a cheap cradle type off eBay as I didnt have much hope of it working on dirt track etc, but have been very impressed so far..

Just joined MiCoach so haven't use it on the road yet, like the plans idea, thought it woud track your cycle track as there's a map on the iphone app, so is that just for the GPS registering distance, speed etc,

If so they defo need to get that updated you can download free apps which do currently do that

Hi guys, nice to meet you all. I am user from Malaysia. Currently riding a Giant hardtail muntain bike.. installed with Cateye speedometer.. Thinking to use the Micoach pacer as well to do heart rate measurement. As for the distance/ avg. dist calculation, i believe the bike speedometer already can provide accurate distance instead of using Micoach pacer to calculate distance. I only see the usage of micoach during cycling is on the heart rate record. Would you all agree?

I have just started to use miCoach and it is great. I believe it can chane the life of many people. However, I would also love to see a bike cadence and speed snesor to be realeased with miCoach pacer bundle. This allows those who  cycle in addition to running have a better view of their stats and progress and develop better plans. It is suprising that almost after one year after this thread first was started, there has been no adidas product for such functionality as I am sure there is a good maket share for it out there, and I would buy one in the first day of its release.

I am with the original post! I'm not satisfied at the moment with how miCoach calculates the calories burnt, and I think a bike tracker will help. Not that I expect it to be perfect, but I believe it would be closer to a realistic calulation

Great idea! Cadence monitor would be perfect also. No better time to implement it too after the olympics, as plenty of people are getting into cycling
