	Pedometer Accuracy
		Thus although bicycle wheel measurements are vastly superior to pedometers, measurements made on large-scale topo maps, and estimates from hiking times, it would be nice to have an accurately surveyed trail to compare against.
		However, the source of the downhill pedometer error seems to come primarily from true mileage about 2-2.5 to 4 miles, where the pedometer shows a 20% high error that is not seen in reverse coming back up at true mileage 12 to 13.5 miles.
		I speculate that when one is taking a lot of tiny steps, either the pedometer misses counting some of them, or that this occurs so infrequently as to not be a major factor in overall mileages.
