While Riding

Steering and Shifting

Once the rider has entered a tour they can begin pedaling, steering and shifting just as if they were outdoors.

The virtual reality on the CyberCycle means that they will feel in the pedals the terrain that they see on the

screen and they will want to adjust their path and gearing according to the track. To steer the riders will need to

pull up and push down on the motion control handlebars. The riders can shift up and down between gears 1

10

User GuideCyberCycle

(easiest) to 30 (hardest) by pressing either of the two red buttons on the tips of the handlebars as well as a

trigger button on the underside of the handlebars. Steering and shifting can be challenging at first but riders will

get the hang of it after 5-10 minutes of riding. Some riders will pick it up faster than others.

Heads Up Display

The heads up display shows real time feedback in an information bar across the top of the screen. From left to

right the rider will see their rpm, speed, the gear they are riding in from 1-30, how long they have left in their ride,

the distance they have covered, how many Calories they have burned, their power output in watts, and their

heart rate in beats per minute.

The Pacer

Riders can adjust the pace of the rider in yellow known as the pacer to a comfortable speed. Using the left and
