@article{Groeskamp_2017, title={Translating Uphill Cycling into a Head-Wind and Vice Versa.}, volume={6}, url={https://jsc-journal.com/index.php/JSC/article/view/296}, abstractNote={<p>Forces acting upon a biker, can be expressed in terms of power (in Watts). Such forces are for example (but not limited to) air-drag, rolling friction and changes in potential energy (due to gravity, when riding up a hill). Here I will specifically compare power related to air drag, with that related to cycling up a hill. This allows me to define the Incline-Equivalent Wind Velocity. The Incline-Equivalent Wind Velocity translates a slope of a mountain into a wind speed, such that overcoming both forces require the same power. Therefore, the Incline-Equivalent Wind Velocity can be interpreted as the velocity with which the wind has to push a rider such that the rider does not roll down a slope of a certain angle, and the net movement is zero. This can be used to recalculate mountain profiles into Incline-Equivalent Wind Velocity profiles and can express the effect of drafting in terms of a reduction in wind speed and incline, rather than power.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Science and Cycling}, author={Groeskamp, Sjoerd}, year={2017}, month={Jun.}, pages={32-37} }
