Sound of Motion BlueTooth Wheel Sensor Technology
SoundOfMotion Releases SDK for Bluetooth Bicycle Wheel Sensor
The Software Development Kit will enable developers to create unique applications using the advantages of 1-degree precision motion sensing technology and widely available Bluetooth devices. SoundOfMotion's innovative sensing technology is at least 360 times more accurate than traditional cycling sensors and has been recognized by the Nokia's Technology Innovation competition Mobile Rules! 2008.
Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) June 20, 2008 -- SoundOfMotion Technologies Inc., creator of the first velo-computer for mobile devices with a 1-degree precision technology releases an SDK for its Bluetooth wheel motion sensors. The Software Development Kit will enable developers to create unique applications using the advantages of 1-degree precision motion sensing technology and widely available Bluetooth devices. Any device with Bluetooth such as mobile phone, PDA or laptop computer would be able to acquire accurate motion data from the SoundOfMotion's Bluetooth sensor mounted on a wheel.
The 1-degree precision sensor was originally designed for bicycles. Cyclists routinely rely on cycling computers to determine their speed. Traditional cycling computers measure only a full rotation of a wheel and calculate average speed over 3 to 5 rotations or 6-10 meters of linear distance. SoundOfMotion's patent pending technology is capable of detecting as little as 1 degree of wheel rotation. This unique sensing technology accurately measures spot speed, acceleration and could measure torque or even power without any additional sensors. This innovative sensing technology is at least 360 times more accurate than traditional cycling sensors and almost 2000 times better than GPS.
SoundOfMotion's innovative technology has been recognized by the Nokia's Technology Innovation competition Mobile Rules! 2008 and featured in Mobile Rules! Expo, "Top 10 Bike Gadgets" by PC Magazine, Pro-cycling magazine, Java.com, Canada.com and other media.
The SDK can be ordered from http://www.soundofmotion.com/ SoundOfMotion Technologies Inc. is also considering strategic alliances with traditional sports equipment manufacturers and offers its technology for licensing.

6 22 2008 Women's Clinic by Joe Brennan
Jennifer and Grace getting ready for their Team Sprint race.Women’s Clinic Report
In spite of a very poor weather forecast, eight women attended our latest Women’s clinic on June 22, 2008. Joe Brennan and Lance Woodbury worked with the participants to familiarize them with the track. This wasn’t hard since most had previous road racing experience, and about half had attended prior clinics.
The clinic included:
• Introduction & Pace Line
• Flying 200m TT
• Standing Start Technique
• Standing 200m TT
• Team Sprints
• Sprint Tactics
• Lead-out sprints
• Handicap Scratch Race

Kissena Super Sprints report by Liz Reap
Kiss Me, Kissena
A pilgrimage to the legendary Queens velodrome reminds Liz that fun is not a four-letter word.
In 2002, Bicycling magazine called Kissena "the nation's worst cycling track," posing the facility as a rough-and-tumble "Field of Dreams" for the NYC fixed-gear community. All I know is everyone who's ever raced Kissena smiles when they talk about it. I had to see it for myself.....read more

Interview: Joe Brennan on Women’s Track Racing
By Minda Aguhob
How did you get involved in track racing?
I started racing track in the 1970s at Kissena. Trexlertown didn't even exist at the time. Back then everything was run by Al Toefield who would park his orange van on the infield. Racing was friendly, but hard -- just like it is today.
I started promoting track events about 15 years ago and even had a brief stint as the race director at the San Diego Velodrome. Promoting races and clinics can be a lot of fun. You get to use a lot of creativity, and you get to try the ideas that you always said other promoters should do. Often, you find out why other promoters don't do those things.....read more
