Inclement weather didn't dampen spirits at todays Demo Day, day one of 2013 Eurobike. Set in the picturesque, hilly region of Allgäu in Southern Germany, cycling enthusiasts flooded the town of Argenbühl for the opportunity to test ride all that the cycling world has to offer. Despite the weather, our crew at SRM were kept busy throughout the day with cyclists eager to try our road and mountain bikes, each equipped with an SRM PowerMeter and PowerControl. After being briefed by SRM technicians, each rider headed out into the countryside to put the 'pedal to the metal' to see exactly what SRM Power Training is really about, and what sets our SRM Training System apart from competitors.

Scientists from Bielefeld University’s Research Institute for Cognition and Robotics (CoR-Lab) were studying how intelligent assistance systems can help astronauts to keep fit – both physically and mentally. However, tests were not limited to humans, the robots were subjects as well. The scientists were testing both their suitability and their durability. The experiment ended on Saturday (April 27). The experiments are conducted under the supervision of Professor Dr. Franz Kummert and Professor Dr. Britta Wrede. The eight test subjects spent 18 days living closely together in a sealed off area of the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in Cologne. ‘Their living conditions were almost as cramped as those in a Space Shuttle,’ said Kummert. Distraction was provided by two robots, Flobi and Nao.
