Abstract
As IoT (Internet of Things) applications pervade every facet of our lives, it becomes necessary to take stock of the possibilities that include what has already been achieved and what could readily be achieved. We consider a specific facet of IoT applications as they relate to bicycles, specifically the use of IoT in connected bicycles. We discuss current IoT applications in connected bicycles as well as associated dimensions on connected and quantified self. While the concept of quantified self existed without any influence from IoT, the widespread acceptance of IoT and associated convenience have certainly spurred the emergence of IoT-enabled devices that facilitate ease of quantified self data collection. We also identify possible extensions to what already exists in connected bicycles from an IoT-based perspective.
