OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES
There are some other very useful features available with your iBike.
SPECIAL FEATURE #1: "AUTO HILL"
You're riding along on the flats but you see a steep hill ahead. Once you start climbing
you'll want to know: how tough is the climb? Your iBike can tell you AUTOMATICALLY.
Anytime you ride on a hill slope higher than two percent, the top window of your main
screen will AUTOMATICALLY alternate between your bike speed and the hill slope.
Once the hill slope drops below 2%, the Auto Hill feature will automatically cancel.
TIP: BY DEFAULT AUTO HILL IS TURNED "OFF". PRESS-HOLD THE BOTTOM ARROW FOR
TWO SECONDS TO TURN AUTO HILL ON ("Hill Auto"). DO THIS AGAIN TO TURN AUTO-
HILL OFF ("Hill OFF").
SPECIAL FEATURE #2: "LAP TIMER"
Your iBike screens display information about each iBike Trip, while simultaneously storing
all your trip ride data in memory. But if you're racing in a crit or training on a route where
you're doing multiple laps you will likely want to compare your performance from lap to
lap.
The iBike has a lap timer that lets you see your important lap stats (lap number, average
speed, average watts, and lap time) while on the bike and that marks those laps in your
ride file for later analysis.
Each time you press-hold the left arrow for two seconds, four things happen:
1) The previous lap ends, and the screen flashes the lap number that has just ended
2) Stats from the previous lap are flashed on the screen for about 10 seconds (average
speed, average watts, lap time)
3) A new lap is started and stats are gathered in the background for the new lap
4) Your iBike automatically returns to the main screen
The lap timer automatically resets to lap 1 whenever you perform a "trip reset"
command. So, if you're racing, perform a trip-reset while waiting at the starting line;
your first lap will start recording lap one.
When you've finished your ride you can download your ride, then perform a trip-reset to
reset your lap timer.
SPECIAL FEATURE #3: "TIME-TRIAL INTERVAL WORKOUTS"
Suppose you're going to do a time trial; the time trial can be thought of as one huge
interval. The iBike gives you a way to manage your time trial so you can see average
watts, actual watts, and elapsed time, all on the same screen. Here's how:
