Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Kinect Fitting?

Just heard a piece on NPR about a couple of students who are developing a way to use the Xbox Kinect to analyze the gait of people with prosthetic limbs. Seems like this would be a great platform to develop a bike fitting application.

Or does that exist already and I'm behind in my news?

Bro, have you ever played with the Kinect? It's about as precise and scientific as a hammer and nail. Only the hammer and nail actually predictably work every time.

I don't think I'm gonna sit on my $3500 bike in front of my Xbox 360 and have a Lance Armstrong avatar tell me to "Keep Pedaling! Registering...Registering....Registering....Analyzing....Analyzing.....Please Lower Seat 1" and try again..."
