release skewer while using the KICKR.

KICKR WORKOUT MODES:
The Wahoo Fitness App has the following workout modes that you can use to
control your KICKR:
- LEVEL: Just like riding on a fluid or wind trainer, the faster you go, the harder it gets. The level you select determines the progression of your power curve.
- RESISTANCE : This allows you to set the resistance of the brake anywhere from 0 to 100%. Regardless of speed, the brake will remain set until you decide to change it.
- ERG : Set your desired power, the KICKR will increase or decrease the resistance to maintain a constant power output, regardless of speed.
- SIM : Enter your weight, bike type, riding position, headwind, and grade and the KICKR will accurately model the power curve just as if you were riding outdoors.
