ABSTRACT
The pacing profile adopted throughout a competitive time trial may be decisive in the overall outcomes of the event. Riders distribute their energy resources based on a range of factors including prior experience, perception of effort, knowledge of distance to cover and potential motivation. Some athletes and professional cycling teams may also quantify individual pacing strategies derived from computational scientific methods. In this work we collect and analyze data of self-selected individual pacing profiles from approximately 12,000 competitive riders on a well-known hill climbing road segment in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. We found that riders chose from a variety of very different pacing profiles, including some opposing profiles. For the classification of pacing this paper describes the pipeline of collection GPS-based and time stamped performance data, data filtering, augmentation of road gradient and power values, and the classification procedure.

Detection of Road Damage using Signals of Smartphone-Embedded Accelerometer while Cycling
IWWISS '14: Proceedings of the 2014 International Workshop on Web Intelligence and Smart SensingRecently, bicycle accidents have been increasing. One of the causes is poor road maintenance because of its high costs. The purpose of this study is the reduction of maintenance cost. We propose a method to detect road damage from cyclists pedaling ...
