I know that some bikes be they accessible or not have built in heart rate monitors in sections of the handle bars,
I think these bikes though are more likely not accessible to you Your best bet would be to contact a company that sells exercise bikes and would be able to give you more information on what the different bikes can do. I use my apple watch and also a Bluetooth heart rate monitor which goes around my chest, The watch keeps track of hr and movements within the apple ios system, but the TKIP hr monitor talks to an app from wahoo which is on my iphone using Bluetooth the app also can talk to any other apps you have for picking up data from your cycle. As I say it's best to talk to the sellers and find out what the bikes can do and therefore if they will suit what you are wanting to do. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Arlene Sent: Friday, 31 July 2020 5:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Exercise bikes Simon, do you know about the accessibility part of it? Idealy if it were possible, in an app it would be really great if I could keep track of my heart rate, keeping track of the number of miles and anything else that I can't remember now that my friend and I use to keep track of when we rode the exercise bikes in an apartment building where I lived about 7 years ago. I think the other item we kept track of was the speed. Anyway for some individuals the distance in miles may not be important, but to my friend and I it was interesting to keep track of as well as the other details. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon A Fogarty" <si...@blinky-net.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2020 10:33 PM Subject: RE: Exercise bikes If you have lots of money to spend, There is a range of cycle machines that utilise real bikes and also use iPads to allow the riders to cycle virtually with each other through the app on the ipad, They have just done this with the Tour de France this year due to covid, Very very coold systems but not cheap. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Cristóbal Muñoz Sent: Thursday, 30 July 2020 3:21 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Exercise bikes Also, if you already have an exercise bike, like this WSJ article points out, you can adapt it to have Internet connectivity. https://www.wsj.com/articles/peloton-schmelotonheres-how-to-turn-your-bike-into-a-connected-workout-station-11595163600?mod=pls_whats_news_us_business_f Caveats of levels of accessibility apply and all that. Like anything, just depends on how much you want to spend. I've got a Nautilus treadmill which has an iOS app. The app is completely VO accessible, but it's only for reviewing workout stats. They also make a line of exercise bikes which I'm sure has a similar app set up. If you're looking for something where you can control or choose a program from within the app, that, I'm not aware of. If there is a bike like that out there, I'd be interested in knowing. We've got an old Schwinn recumbent model which works well enough, but I'd probably want to go for something similar to the Nautilus where I can at least review my numbers. Good luck.

The other thing is you can use a standard bicycle on a cycle erg, So you can get them so you sit the back wheel on the roller and the wheel is locked in to place and use the gearing on the bike to change your resistance levels, And there are some which have resistance on the roller as well. Or you can get the ergs that you take the front wheel off and lock the forks on to a bracket that holds the front in place while again the back wheel sits on a roller and spins as you pedal. But yes if you have an apple watch it can give you HR and time etc measurements But you can also get caidence / speed computers that cost very little but have to be put on the bikes to measue what speed and distances you are cycling. I have my own road bike on a cycle erg that the back wheel locks in to and I use gears for resistance, I have my apple watch to measure some things and a caidance meter to measure speed and RPM from the back wheel, these are fed into an app on my phone which is from a company called wahoo,and that also talks to my HR monitor which is again a wahoo device and gives a better reading than the watch does, it really depends on what you wantto spend or do as to what it costs you. When I cycle I take it pretty seriously, but that's just because it's something I've done for years. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, 29 July 2020 3:26 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Exercise bikes And if you are looking for a consumer grade bike which supports Gym Kit, Apple's developer kit or interface for such things then good luck, I did not find one under $10,000 which means it's really designed for professional gyms. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2020 8:24 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Exercise bikes We bought a spin bike last fall and decided to get just a basic model without any connectivity because both my wife and I have Apple Watches which we use with the indoor cycle workout to track time, heart rate and calories. Yes, some bikes keep track of a virtual distance, but who really cares if the bike says you biked 6 miles or 10 miles, I am after a good workout and for that my heart rate and calories burned are more important. I don't know how much you want to spend, but you are better off investing in a good quality bike without a fancy controller which may or may not give you what you want, if anything spend that money on an Apple Watch which you can use for any type of workout not just your bike. , -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Laury, Shawnese (LEO) Sent: Monday, July 27, 2020 5:18 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Exercise bikes Hello I am searching for an exercise bike and I was wondering if anyone knows if a model is compatible with the iPhone.
