Why?  If you're already got wheel ticks and a time base, you can trivially
compute accelleration.  You can only do it for lengths of one wheel
circumference at a time, but that's a plenty good enough granularity for
measuring a bicycle ride.  This will also be a more accurate than a MEMS
accellerometer.
