An apparatus includes a frame having first and second spaced apart areas. A movable member is mounted adjacent the first area, and a sensor senses an operating characteristic of the movable member. A data receiving device is located in the vicinity of the second area of the frame. A first data signal transmission component is interconnected with the sensor, and receives data signals from the sensor and inputs the data signals to the frame. A second data signal transmission component is interconnected with the data receiving device, and receives data signals from the frame and transmits the data signals to the data receiving device. The data signals are transmitted though the frame from the first data signal transmission component to the second data signal transmission component. The apparatus may be a bicycle, and the movable member may be a bicycle wheel or pedal assembly. The apparatus may also be an item of exercise equipment, and the movable member may be a flywheel or a user input area of the exercise equipment.
An apparatus, comprising:
A method of transmitting operating characteristic data signals in an apparatus having a moving member mounted adjacent a first area of a frame, a sensor for sensing one or more operating characteristics of the moving member, and a data signal receiving device mounted adjacent a second area of the frame, comprising the act of transmitting operating characteristic data signals from the sensor through the frame to the data receiving device.
A system for transmitting operating characteristic data signals in an apparatus having a moving member mounted adjacent a first area of a frame, a sensor for sensing one or more operating characteristics of the moving member, and a data signal receiving device mounted adjacent a second area of the frame, comprising:
