Add Support For C2 BikeErg

Issue #341 resolved
Michael McGuirk created an issue

C2's BikeErg is an increasingly popular complement to the C2 erg, especially with the CrossFit crowd, and adding support for it on rowsandall.com might be worthwhile. It uses the same PM5 as is used on the ergs so there's not much that needs to be changed. First step would be to add BikeErg to the workouttype list.

One major difference between the bike and the erg is that the bike reports pace/1000m rather than /500m. That confuses rowsandall.com calculations a little. In Statistics: 1) Boat Speed (m/s) is half what would be expected presumably because the calculation is based on reported pace. 2) Distance per Stroke is half of actual (like boat speed, above). 3) Work per Stroke is half of expected. Presumably, since cycling RPM is twice rowing SR, WPS would be half of rowing WPS at same power, e.g rowing at 160W and 17 SPM = about 640J; I would expect 160W at 54 SPM would be about 320J. Rowsandall reports 160J.

It's probably not worth worrying about these calculation issues but it would be nice to have BikeErg on the device list.

    @mmcguirk You are importing the BikeErg files from the C2 logbook or do you import them as a BoatCoach file? If the latter, please do send me a BoatCoach file or attach it to this issue on BitBucket. Thanks!

    Implemented BikeErg and sync to/from C2 logbook. There will be some subtleties that need to be addressed. Will wait for users to report bugs.

    This will be part of the next release
