Do the workout apps for this bike include a program for a hill/incline type workout? Or do the apps just allow you to set time/distance?

8 different hill/incline apps that are selectable with one push of the finger. I can't really vouch for how well they work cause I never use them. I use a selectable resistance and do that one resistance till I'm tired of spinning.

Yes it does but be aware that the monitor is very primitive and hard to view in dim light.

Not at all! Although most of my testing is on stationary bike (with considerable instrumentation) neither stationary nor real bike even gets the calories burned to budge. Even pushing 200+ Watts and sweating like a pig, nothing. Without footsteps it records nothing. Now, interestingly - after hard bike workout then I can get on treadmill at minimum speed and zero incline and it records medium intense activity, where I'm clearly loafing. It also records elliptical at much lower rate than actual expenditure. Basically I think it's a glorified pedometer only slightly sensitive to energy usage. And customer support doesn't even respond to any queries about these issues. Not at all!

Hi Amy, if you have it on the last setting than that's the best you're going to get. I'm having the same problem too. I Decided to use the rower for muscle building/toning and get my cardio on recumbent bike. Of course there are other ways to get cardio exercises. I hope this helps.Good luck, Frank

To the best of my knowledge, there is no supporting software to interface data from the cycle computer to your workout program. The data is available for review but not manipulatable for interface to other programs.

It does not have different incline levels. It has different levels of difficulty to vary the workout

There are 2 push buttons on the screen. One is for a quick start. That is the one I normally use. Set the speed and resistance and pedal. Simple.There are also programs you can work with. A complete booklet comes with it.

I have a Dakota 10 and use it all the time for biking. True, it doesn't do any of the things Frank mentions. I guess I'm just interested in track, elevation and odometer, time, so it's perfect for that. Weather/temperature is applied when the tracklog is uploaded to Basecamp or Garmin Connect (although at this writing, the "new" Garmin Connect isn't correctly calculating distance on GPX files, so there's that.)

There is no incline option per se on this or any elliptical I have used but you CAN adjust the effort level. The "drag" is increased magnetically so the motion stays smooth. I think you would be happy with this.

Mine works just fine. I use a built in 20 minute program that varies the incline and speed and find it quite satisfactory.

Yes, I use Runtastic Road bike on Android (Galaxy S4) and it works great. My favorite app so far. Also connects to Ride with GPS and Wahoo Fitness, although the distances were not calculating correctly. Need to check wheel size under sensor setup.

I ride my bike a lot and just got the fuel band. To track what I have done on my bike, I use the nike+ Running app thats free and out for IOS and Android. The running app calculates nikefuel during the run and once the run is complete, they all sync up together. That's my work around. I will try the ankle thing and see how that goes.

There is an app for that, you can add workouts from P90X, P90X2, or P90X3. You pay for the app and all additional programs/workouts that you use. iPhone and Android available. However I have not used them...

Yes, it continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. It calculates elevation as distance above/below sea level (as per the User's Guide)

When you setup the timer you can adjust the "exercise" time and the "rest" time. That gives you two different time intervals that will run/alternate continuously. I hope that answers your question!

I don't know if it will work with a proform bike, but I will give you fair warning. If you are going to use it for the live workout/street view workout, be warned it does not work as advertised. I use it when it works on an elliptical. The last couple weeks it has not worked. It has been in 'beta' for six months. The screen updates as you go can semi-spastic. The speed is imaginary. The incline does not adjust (although that may not matter on a bike). In my opinion this iFit program is a complete scam and would not be surprised to see a lawsuit coming soon. Tech support consists of "sorry, we're working on it." Good luck. I don't know if it will work with a proform bike, but I will give you fair warning.

Yeah. You can set the time (length) of your workout. The timer will beep at the end of the workout.
