Abstract
A magnetic assembly is provided for a bicycle monitoring device. The magnetic assembly includes a magnetic device that mounts on a special spoke of a wheel. This magnetic device has a housing with a magnet secured thereto. The housing has a spoke-receiving recess that receives the spoke. The housing can be secured to the spoke within the spoke-receiving recess via a snap-fit or an elastic fit. In one embodiment, the spoke-receiving recess of the housing has a projection that engages a concavity form in the connecting portion of the spoke. In another embodiment, the spoke-receiving recess of the housing has a concavity that engages a projection form on the connecting portion of the spoke. The magnetic device communicates with a sensing device, which is coupled to a portion of the bicycle that is adjacent to a wheel of the bicycle. A display unit that is mounted on handlebars of the bicycle displays the speed information obtained from the sensing device.
