Were not sure if Lance Armstrong uses an iPhone or iPod Touch, but if he does, he’d probably find the new Pedal Brain kit very useful when he trains on his bike.
This handy new accessory and app that targets cyclists turns any iPhone/iPod Touch into a mobile computer that processes data in real-time while riders pedal away on their two-wheeled speedsters. There will also be a variety of training programs available for Pedal Brain users which you can load on it, or if you’re a trainer already, you can save your own program using the app and sell it to other users as well. It’s a pretty comprehensive app unlike any we’ve seen before that caters to the cycling enthusiasts, but unfortunately, it isn’t available in the market yet.
They still don’t have a final pricing for the Pedal Brain Synapse which works as the iPhone/iPod Touch holder on your bike and ANT+ communicator, but they expect it to retail somewhere within the $130 to $200 price range. Apart from that, you still need to subscribe to one of their programs though the basic one, albeit being limited in features, is free. Needless to say, the Pedal Brain training program isn’t for everyone and is probably meant for hardcore cyclists who are willing to invest on their favorite past time.
