The second mode is Bike Mode, which simulates a 21-speed
road bike, compensating for body weight with Personal Power,
simulating air resistance, and computing speed correctly for
the selected gear and cadence. The 21 "gears" are like that of a
bike that has gearing from 50 to 105 inches.
Bike Mode uses constant torque (see Appendix C), then adds
additional workload for the simulations and compensations.
The calculations are adapted from the power formulas in
Bicycling Science, the leading reference in this field (see
Bibliography).
The final mode is a conventional 10-watt increment constant
power mode.
