The device measures your speed, power, heart rate, wind speed, and even those calories (how many you're burning) that you unwilling put on while coding in C.

The iBike Dash has other features like helping you set personal goals, a heart rate pacing meter, and it even tells you if you're pushing yourself a little too hard, which could be very handy if you haven't left your computer since you discovered StumbleUpon sometime in 2001.

You can pick up your own iBike for $199 for the basic version, or $329 for the advanced version which includes various extra features. But first, you might want to make sure that you remember how to ride a bike...
