Nowadays, most people have been using a bicycle as a transportation or exercise. The bicycle is so indispensable to the public means of transportation. The demand of the bicycle is increasing since one is becoming advancement more and more. We propose a smart bicycle that can controls the individual parts of the bicycle by smart phone. This paper verifies and validates the problem and the advanced direction after confirming the smart phone's public bicycle to learn about market trends and the analysis of future prospects. Based on the analyzed contents of the problem and improving the direction, we implement public bicycle system with smart bicycle. The implementation of the proposed method shows the available and the effective system with the promote public health by cycling and contributing to the domestic bicycle industry.

The purpose of this study was to compare $VO_2$max, maximal power output, and presence of $VO_2$ plateau across 4 protocol durations (5, 8, 12, and 16 min) during incremental cycling exercise to $VO_2$max. Twenty moderately to highly trained subjects ($24.9{\pm}6.6$) participated in the study. The mean $VO_2$max in the 5-min ($3.55{\pm}0.80\;l/min$) and 8-min ($3.66{\pm}0.88\;l/min$) duration protocols had higher and significantly higher mean value in the 8-min duration protocol compared to the 12-min ($3.49{\pm}0.76\;l/min$) and 16-min ($3.45{\pm}0.73\;l/min$) duration protocols. The AMPO across four protocols showed a significant difference. The AMPO for the 5-min protocol was 12%, 24%, and 35% higher than AMPO for the 8-min, 12-min and 16-min protocols. The presence of plateau was 12.5% for the 5 min protocol, 56.25% for the 8 min protocol, 37.5% for the 12 min protocol, and 56.25% for the 16 min protocol. This study indicates that the short duration protocol (<8 min) is a more valid measurement for $VO_2$ max than optimal duration protocol (8-12 min) in moderate to highly trained individuals on the cycle ergometer.
