About

Bidon: on-bike fueling, handled for you. Bidon tells you what to eat and drink, and exactly when, so you stop guessing and just ride. It lives on your Edge data screen: nothing to open, nothing to close, nothing to tap. Every ~15 min it buzzes for a bottle sip. Every ~25–30 min it tells you what to eat. That's it. NEW: AUTO MODE (no setup, no pairing, no account) Install Bidon, drop it on a data screen, and go. AUTO reads your power and pulse (smoothed over a rolling 5-minute average, so it tracks real effort instead of spikes) and the ambient temperature from your Edge, then computes your carbohydrate, fluid and sodium targets live and turns them into timed eat/drink alerts. No phone, no code, no internet needed mid-ride. - Adapts to any duration. A 1-hour spin or an 8-hour gran fondo: the plan extends itself as you roll. No more cut-off at 3 hours. - Reacts to how hard you're going. Ease off and the targets drop; attack the climb and they climb with you. - Heat-aware. Hotter day means more fluid, more sodium, a touch more carbs, automatically. - Fine-tune without fuss. Set an optional carbs/h or ml/h override and AUTO respects it, no mode switching. PLAN MODE (optional, for when you want a route-specific plan) Build or upload a route at plan.moguwind.com, hit "Send to Bidon" and pair once with a 6-digit code. Your plan is pre-computed from distance, elevation, average speed, wind forecast and temperature, then synced automatically from then on. A small on-screen badge always shows whether you're on AUTO or PLAN. FEATURES - Your own food catalog. Always carry a specific bar or some homemade food? Bidon keeps it in rotation: ~60% of the plan uses your preferred foods, ~40% adds variety so you don't burn out on one thing. - Your bottles. Tell Bidon how many water and iso bottles you're carrying; sips are distributed accordingly. - Clean, fast alerts. Colored background (blue = drink; pink/green/yellow/orange/red by food type), large text, food name, and configurable auto-dismiss (3, 5, 7 or 10 s). - Activity-aware. Uses your Edge's real timer: pause the activity, pause the alerts. HOW TO START 1. Install Bidon and add it to one of your Edge data screens. 2. Just ride. AUTO works immediately. (For best accuracy, set your weight, FTP and bottles in the app settings.) 3. Want a route-specific plan? Create your profile at plan.moguwind.com, send a route, and paste the 6-digit code once in Garmin Connect Mobile. WHO IT'S FOR Cyclists who want to finish feeling strong, without watching a clock, counting grams or carrying notes. Works for everything from a midweek hour to an all-day epic. THE SCIENCE (no pseudoscience) Targets are computed from your effort and conditions using peer-reviewed sport-science consensus: - Carbohydrate. Jeukendrup A. (2014), "A step towards personalized sports nutrition: carbohydrate intake during exercise." Sports Med 44(S1):S25–S33. Targets scale 30–90 g/h by intensity, capped at the ~90 g/h intestinal absorption limit. - Hydration & sodium. Sawka M.N. et al. (2007), ACSM Position Stand: "Exercise and Fluid Replacement." Med Sci Sports Exerc 39(2):377–390. Fluid ~450–900 ml/h by intensity (capped by body mass to avoid hyponatremia), +20% per 5 °C above 20 °C; sodium scaled by body weight and heat. - Heat & carbohydrate. Maughan R.J. et al. (2016) review, supporting modest carb increases in the heat. PRIVACY Bidon stores only what's needed to serve your plan. AUTO mode runs entirely on your Edge: no account, and no data leaves the device.
