7. Before going to the coast down screen your iBike will check to see how recently you
performed the "Tilt" and "Cal Wind" steps. If these steps were performed more
than 30 minutes prior to the start of your Coast Downs, you will be required to do
them again. This assures maximum accuracy of your Coast Downs. The word
"Start" will flash after performing Tilt and Cal Wind calibrations. Click the center
button
8. The Coast Down screen shows the word "Fast", and your current bike speed appears
in the display.

10. As you go faster the horizontal bar in the screen will start to fill. Your goal is to get
to 20 mph (32KPH).
11. Once you've reached full speed, the word "coast" will appear. Stop pedaling
IMMEDIATELY; you will begin to slow down due to aerodynamic and frictional drag.
12. Make sure you remain in your usual riding position during the coast down.
13. As you coast the bike will slow down and the iBike will measure your drag
coefficients (aerodynamic and frictional).
TIP: COAST DOWN DATA IS COLLECTED BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 18 MPH AND 8 MPH.
14. Do not pedal your bike, apply the brakes, or make abrupt moves with the front
wheel during the coast down.
15. As the bike slows the horizontal bar will empty and your bike speed will drop.
