Bike Trainers
Machines for indoor cycling that help you train for cycling on the road - just attach your bike, and start pedaling. Depending upon the type, they can have many features like simulating hills, apply sustained resistance, give power data and connect to apps that allow for virtual riding (groups or solo) and perform structured workouts.
Cycling Computers
Small devices that attach to your bicycle to measure data from your ride. Usually they’ll measure time, distance, speed, cadence, Heart Rate, Power, and elevation. Most computers will also have GPS functionality or connected GPS through your phone and will display maps for you!
Power Meters
A cycling power meter is a device on a bicycle that measures the power output of the rider. Power meters can be placed at many locations on a bike (pedal, crank arm, spider, chainrings, and handlebar. Thought to be one of the best metrics for training to become a better more efficient cyclist.
Bike Cameras
As the name suggests, these are small cameras that attach to your bicycle to record video of your ride. Great for capturing accidents, if you need evidence for a report, but also for capturing memories! Many also come with a bright light for night cycling.
ANT+ (FE-C)
A protocol like Bluetooth that allows cycling devices to connect to your smartphone and other devices, and transfer data into your favorite fitness apps.
HRM
An acronym for Heart Rate Monitor. These devices, usually worn on the wrist, forearm, or around the chest, help you monitor your exertion levels throughout a ride, workout, or run.
Smart Bike Trainers
These trainers generally have a focus on data and connectivity. They go above and beyond when it comes to measuring different types of data, and the ease of which it can connect to your smartphone, tablet, apps, and sometimes other training devices!
Direct Drive Bike Trainers
These bike trainers have a direct attachment to your bike’s rear dropouts, so the trainer itself replaces the back wheel of the bicycle.
Wheel-On Bike Trainers
As the name suggests, the wheels on your bike stay on! With wheel-on trainers, there’s a roller on the trainer that your wheel sits on, so when you pedal, it provides resistance.
