How technology can make you a better cyclist

We spoke to Dr Auriel Forrester, a sports scientist from Scientific Coaching, about new technological advancements in cycling What technology do you use to help cyclists?

We can measure all sorts of data from cycling.  Heart rate, speed, cadence and even power output can all be recorded and tracked. Our SRM captures information at intervals down to fractions of seconds so you get the most accurate information about your ride. A screen allows you to keep track of all these statistics in real time while you ride. 

How does data-tracking technology improve cycling?

I use data from technology to work with cyclists to produce training schedules.  This works so well with cycling because of the sheer wealth of information.  Rather than measuring heart rate alone, like a runner might, we can keep tabs on the result of that increased heart rate
