i know what a power meter does. i know it will not improve my abilities literally but like one said i can use it as a tool to see how i am progressing or progressing at all. right now i am using a cateye double wireless and all i have gain from that POS is how my avg speed has gone up and how my overall miles have shot up. other than those 2 things, that thing was a waste of money. i am getting serious about cycling and i want to get faster. the only thing that seems to make a person go faster on a bike is the engine and not really the weight of the bike. so i wanted to see if a power tap would be something a person could consider...when the price is right.

ill read more up on power meters.
