I'm with Tom. It's just mindless to pay the price of a very decent bike for the Euro Elite for a power meter the only function of which is to tell you how bad you suck.

It's bad enough that the free app Polar Beat tells the whole world, in a seductive but load woman's voice, how many minutes I took to cycle the last kilometre. I can't switch her off either because I chose an indestructible iPhone 4S as my handlebar repeater, and I can't read the thing in a glance before I return my eye to the (dangerous*) lanes I cycle.

Do people need permission to use a power meter, a GPS head unit, a cadence sensor, a heart rate monitor, a speed sensor, a cycling computer, a compass or a f*cking notebook? WTF.

I haven't the faintest idea of what I said to upset you, Lou. I'm a libertarian who believes people should be left alone to proceed to perdition at their own speed, on whatever wheels they freely choose. By the same token I expect no interference when I express my contrary view in any words I choose..

If that's okay with you, and if it is not, then all the same.
