Introducing My Cadence for Arduino, a DIY Cadence Display for Indoor Cycling

It is official, my holiday hacking is officially complete! This past week I started and  launched a brand new app called My Cadence [https://www.mycadence.app] for both iOS [https://montemagno.com/introducing-my-cadence-for-ios-a-simple-cadence-sensor-display/] & Android [https://montemagno.com/my-cadence-now-available-on-android/].

Porting My Cadence to Android in 1 Day!

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was writing up a blog post on how I was launching My Cadence for iOS [https://montemagno.com/introducing-my-cadence-for-ios-a-simple-cadence-sensor-display/] and then blogging about how I wrote and shipped the app [https://montemagno.com/building-testing-shipping-my-cadence-for-ios-in-less-than-a-week/] in under a week.

Building a $400 at home DIY spin bike for Peloton & Apple Fitness+

TLDR: I combined the Sunny SF-B1002 Bike [https://amzn.to/37gQMcB], the moofit cadence sensor [https://amzn.to/349DpZM] (now sold out, checkout the Magene sensor [https://amzn.to/3raJ0Jd]), a tablet holder [https://amzn.to/3ntQZit], and gel seat cover [https://amzn.to/2ILSWaN] to build my own at home spin bike ready for Apple Fitness+ and Peloton digital.

Indoor Cycling Stats Comparison - Peloton App vs Apple Watch Fitness

As winter approaches and the pandemic rages on and on I know I will be indoors even more than ever. Even though I am excited for cross-country skiing, I know I will miss the day (which is already here) that I am not going to be able to hop on my bike and go for a ride outside. I have always loved spin classes and pre-pandemic I used to go several times a month to in person classes for exercise. I have always thought about going all in on a Peloton, however I couldn't justify the price. Howev…
