Analytic
Cycling provides technical methods for
evaluating and estimating cycling performance and parameters.
It makes extensive use of differential equations and advanced
numerical methods.
Analytic
Cycling methods respond in real time, characteristically
returning tables and plots as products of the methods. Try a
selection from the "Tool Kit". Click on the forms. Change the

| Our Software |
The models at Analytic
Cycling are written in Mathematica® technical
computing language. HostSRV.com, which
specializes in hosting webMathematica®
applications, provides our hosting and Mathematica®
services. AnalyticCycling.com started as a demonstration of
this technology but took on a life of its own. These
technologies are now offered to those with an interest in
delivering a technical computing solution through a web
interface. |

Pedal
Force Simulator |
I have been working on what
I call a Pedal Force Simulator. The device does a much better
job of simulating outdoor riding on an indoor training device.
I have created a blog to promote the project. Take a
look, comment as appropriate, and please pass the link along to
anyone that may have an interest.
Why? Read the blog.

| Rider Aero Study |
John Cobb, who does wind
tunnel testing for some of the best riders in the world, sent
us some of his wind tunnel data. We did an analysis and report
the results at Rider
Aero Study.

| Wind on
Rider |
Wind is often neglected in
models because it's easier and less complicated to leave it
out, but we all know it's a significant factor. Testing has
shown that the drag on the wheels changes with the apparent
wind direction. The Wind on Rider model estimates the effects of
wind on a rider over a course of your choice. "What front wheel
should I use on the Sydney 2000 TT course?" See for yourself.

We now have a general model
of a rider on a surface. It's useful for analyzing paths for
flying 200, sprint tactics, or a technical finish for a
criterium. Contact
us if you should want to apply this model to a competitive
situation.

Often people ask the
question "Which has few flats, clinchers or
tubulars? Here is a database for collection tire mishap data.
You can enter data and extract data and maybe get an answer. See Tires Report of 7/25/02
