We talked about New Potato before when they released the slot machine like iPhone cradle a few weeks back. This time, the company has something even more spectacular to show; the LiveRider.
The LiveRider turns the iPhone or iPod into a full functioning professional cycling computer as you slide it into a specially designed cradle on the steer. The cradle is connected over 2.4 Ghz to a sensor that counts the number of revolutions of the wheel and the padel cadence. It also tracks GPS data and data from the accelerometer to calculate inclines. Finally it also allows you to race against ghost data of yourself on the same track.
