Your Display

The bike display has two jobs: to let you control the bike opera-
tion, and to give you feedback about your workout. The 
controls are simple and designed to be foolproof; it’s hard to press 
a “wrong” key. You can monitor eight different kinds of 
physiological data, and your workout progress is tracked 
graphically with the center matrix display
