Patent Images
1. A bicycle motion sensing arrangement comprising:
- a bicycle wheel including a rim having an air valve stem extending radially inwardly of the rim with the air valve stem including a groove and a magnet disposed in the groove of the air valve stem with the magnet having a center opening with a diameter that is smaller than a maximum diameter of the air valve stem between the groove and a free end of the air valve stem to retain the magnet on the air valve stem;
a bicycle brake includes a first bicycle brake arm with a first brake pad holder coupled to the first bicycle brake arm and a second bicycle brake arm with a second brake pad holder coupled to the second bicycle brake arm; and
a sensor fixedly attached to one of the first and second brake pad holders at a location to detect rotational behavior of the bicycle wheel by sensing the magnet mounted to the air valve stem.
