DIY project? He purchased a brand new, off the shelf spin bike and put a cadence sensor on it.

I'm not sure when it happened, but the bar for saying things like "built" has become so low that we get titles and "projects" like these.

I guess I consider it DIY as it is combining the Bike, Tablet, and Sensor together instead of buying an all in 1 package that restricts you to a specific service.

At least it was not a ‘life hack.’

Yeah, I don't consider my post a hack or constructing the bike from scratch at all. That would be super impressive IMHO. I just did a bunch of research, found the lowest minimal requirements in what I was looking for in a spin bike and wrote about it :)
