I’m a huge advocate of PM data. I use it as a training tool. IMO in order to properly leverage a PM as a training tool you have to identify your FTP. As you know, I’m a distance rider. So for me, intensity factor is a key metric. If I’m doing a 200k or 300k ride I need to be cautious about fast starts. If in the 1st 50k to 100k my IF is >.8 it’s gonna be a rough day and a strong to finish. Another offshoot of using power is identifying your TSS on a ride and measuring the volume of your training.

I used to listen to the podcast called "Fast Talk". What I gathered from their conversations was that honing in on using and listening to percieved effort is very effective. I'd say it's better than wrong or poor use of power data (which isn't always precise either).

i bought mine almost 8 years ago. ride a lot with a dece amounts of power. been in a river with them (lol), over 40C for months at a time (live in asia), and in -20C for long periods too. No idea of the total mileage but it is significant. only had one issue ever: crashed at about 60kph and completely melted one side of the pedal housing. bought (shocked they were available) a new housing for 50 bucks and it took me about 2 minutes to swap the axel from the damaged pedal, anddddd.... worked perfectly after (that was about 4 years ago). anyway, best valued anything (cycling/pc/phone/car/etc) ive ever bought. on the other hand, garmin f&^%^& %$^&@# $#@*

I have been riding with a power meter over 4 years now. My power is Garmin Vector 3's. Unless I am steady state hill climbing I think there is a pretty good lag in actual power readings. Sometimes 225 watts feels like 300+, sometimes the other way around. At the end of the ride I usually pay more attention to the "normalized" power number. Thanks for the vid!

Very nice video! But way out of my league as a commuter cyclist a few times a week. But great to vicariously experience a group ride. Don’t ever think I’ve ridden 25 mph on a bike or travelled 40 miles. Must be fun if you’re fit and have a good bike!
@robdrelich8563Ай бұрын
I ride to HR, power is a nice to know statistic but won’t change my riding. To see my improvement over time I compare similar rides from last year when I was reasonably well trained to this year while I’m working up to things. And my HR then and now to see how hard I’m really working. Improvement is massive. 30km and 400m climb rides (these are very short) from 1:40 to 1:10 100km ride 3 years ago 5:40. This year 4:06. And in both examples I’m far less tired at the end and the next day

One thing good about having power meter is that your calories burned are more closer to the output you put out as opposed to guesstimating it from your HR, distance and time. That also means lower calorie numbers, but you kinow if you can have that cake or not 🤣. I like the fact that you are efficient on the bike, my 92kg body have to put a lot of effort and a lot more power to grind on that fast group ride!

All the half-wheeling going on out there would make me too sketchy to be with that group. Do you enjoy those type of washing-machine type of rides, where you're constantly coasting, punching 600W, back down to 150w, up to 280w and rinse and repeat? To me, it's like doing a crit. Something I rather not do on a weekend club ride.
@thegoodwheelАй бұрын
I don't mind it, if it is that type of ride and the pack riding is expected. I find it a problem when cyclist behave that way on a structured ride. I enjoy a proper single paceline, double paceline and also pack riding. They all have their place. Thanks for watching 👍🏾

I'm 71 and have been saving up for a power meter for many years and not there yet lol. Now I don't need one and just use my old school heart rate monitor methods I've employed over the last 40 years. Simple truth is, I'm riding near max most of the time these days just trying to keep the pedals going etc and knowing my power output would have no effect of my effort. With all the soft pedaling, I kept thinking you head to the front and put out a little bit of effort instead of just sitting in the whole ride. Guess that's not your style of riding.
