My 6 year old caught her foot in my exercise bike while playing on it. A knot as big as an egg appeared, all blue/black. Her first real injury of her life. I kept my cool and was calm but man I was shaking with worry. What an awful feeling seeing your child hurt. The worst thing I have ever felt in my life was the death of my friends 7 year old, my kids best friend. It was from sudden swelling of the brain, a seizure. She didn't suffer. Knowing how my heart hurt, I can't imagine her mothers' pain. How do you cope with things like this?

YOU JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER THIS ISN'T THE WORST OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE YEARS TO COME. I HAVE 3. MY KIDS HAVE HAD CUTS BRUISES TEETH KNOCKED OUT IN SPORTS AND MY OLDEST IS ONLY 7 THEN MY SON WILL TURN 4 THIS WEEK AND MY YOUNGEST IS JUST 2. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME YOU SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER ONE THING AS LONG AS THEY ARE OK A LITTLE PAIN AND BRUISING WILL GO AWAY IN TIME. MY HARDEST THING HASN'T BEEN PHYSICAL IT'S THE EMOTIONAL MY 7 YR OLD HAD A KNIFE PULLED ON HER AT SCHOOL. AND THEY SUSPENEDED THE BOYS YES MORE THAN 1 WITH A KNIFE SHE WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER SPRING BREAK HER TEACHER HAD THE NERVE TO SET THE BOYS NEXT TO HER IN CLASS. SHE IS AFRAID TO EAT ANYTHING WITH A KNIFE BECAUSE IT SENDS HER BACK TO THAT DAY. PHYSICAL UNJURIES WILL HEAL JUST COMFORT THEM AND ALWAYS REMEMBER IT COULD BE WORSE.

How do i ad an I/O port to an exercise bike?
Marcello
I have bought a inexpensive exercise bike that gives a screen readout of information form the pedals. The info is speed, RPM, distance, etc. I know there are some very expensive exercise bikes out there that have a port that lets you connect a cable from the bike to a computer and read the information into a computer of which you can manipulate with some simple programming.
I would like to use the bike I have, crack open the screen and access the output that is sent to from the pedals to this screen, and hook it up to my computer so that I can write some software to manipulate it.
I am knowledgeable enough on the software end of the deal to make this work, but I am not certain about the hardware. Any advice/thoughts?
Answer
it may be easiest to modify a cooling fan ( with an rpm meter)
hook it to to the motherboard ( where a fan would normally go, and read the rpm in that way. distance and speed could be figured using math in the program,
I searched a little for a usb rpm tool, didn't find anything,
but that may work too, install it over the wheel, much like how they hook up a generator....
then again use the programing to figure all the other stuff....
there may even be a 9pin serial device,
