The Watt Bike was developed with the help of the Olympic Medal winning British Cycling Team - and Cycling ireland hopes to use the new technology to test and identify new cycling talent The seminar was run by Eddie Fletcher from the UK who has been one of the key driving forces and scientists behind the development of the Wattbike since 2000. There were 8 bikes on the day and 16 people. Everyone had an opportunity to ride the bike to get a ‘feel’ for it during the day. The sessions were focused on ‘how’ to use the Wattbike - and both Stephen and Brendan were impressed with how the new system worked. ===== The Wattbike has been developed with British Cycling's coaches and scientists to: - replicate the sensation of 'real' cycling
- be the world's first factory calibrated indoor bike
- deliver accurate and consistent performance feedback
- provide technique feedback on force and power delivery
