Abstract
This study demonstrates mobile load monitoring of a composite bicycle component using an applicationcustomized polymer planar Bragg grating sensor, evaluated by a mobile interrogation unit. After a referencing procedure, the mechanical load of a seat post is monitored while cycling through a test track.
