This is why the computers are forbidden by the UCI. (I don't agree with this, but this is why.) This is also why you see computers mounted underneath the saddle. The teams download the data and analyze it later. You can see the SRM PowerControl V head unit here:

Shoe covers are legal when racing on outdoor tracks. They are only prohibited for use on indoor tracks.
(The pic above show shoe covers being used indoors, but they were taken before the new rule.)
