1. A system for estimating a behavior of a cyclist on a bicycle and a quality of a road along a path followed by said bicycle, comprising:
a sensor configured to detect a vertical acceleration of the bicycle and to supply a signal representative of the vertical acceleration;
a module for estimating vertical impacts configured to:
receive as an input the signal representative of the vertical acceleration for a determined time;
acknowledge one or more first portions of the signal representative of the vertical acceleration, containing peaks due to the vertical impacts, and one or more second portions of the signal representative of the vertical acceleration devoid of said peaks due to the vertical impacts,
wherein said one or more first portions of the signal representative of the vertical acceleration are indicative of the cyclist's behavior, and said one or more second portions of the signal representative of the vertical acceleration are indicative of the quality of the road.
