Well, then you need an accelerometer [1]. [2] is said to be in the
iPhone, but you probably want something easier to solder.
With it you could get the inclination angle and then get the applied
force. If you do it right you could even get a crashing sound when
falling...

Nick Copeland suggested simulating the force
applied to the pedals by
calculating the rate of change of the cadence. I reckon that might do
the trick.
It doesn't. Just consider going uphill 5% or downhill 5% at
the same and constant cadence. Makes some difference to your
legs and to a motor.
