The Internet of Bikes: Weekend Rides

Frame and Wheel fit in two rides this weekend and used an HTC Incredible to track the rides. The batteries ran low on the first ride because the phone was also activated. The second ride did not have this problem, but Frame and Wheel flatted again, the second flat in three rides, due to a piece of glass.

Total moving time was 94 minutes and total distance was 29 miles.  Maximum speed was 28 miles per hour and maximum elevation was 62 feet. Total elevation gain was 1,311 feet and maximum grade was 10%. Please see the link for more details.
The key number for Frame and Wheel is the actual number of minutes spent riding the bike. Frame and Wheel is not thinking in terms of training hours or minutes, but in terms of usage minutes or minutes during which the bicycle is being depreciated by the rider. Frame and Wheel will continue master the details of riding with the Android while working on a method that will allow Frame and Wheel to calculate the "cost" of each ride.
