The deskcycle has two "data" ports, 3.5mm headphone jack and plug. This is essenetially a connetor to a magent switch attached to a fly wheel inside the device. Using their calorie calculator, some basic counting and their display, it wasn't hard to sort out that by their measurements 24 complete revolutions equaled 0.1 miles. The actual accuracy of this can't be verifed right now, I suspect based on their MPG calculations this might be wildly off. That said my display matches up with one shipped with the DeskCycle.
