Interestingly, some of the iBike models will read from a crank-based or wheel-based power sensor, and use it to derive wind resistance and frontal area or something like that.
Other than Kurt Kinetic, I thought Minoura or some others existed too. Guess models with estimated power have mostly disappeared from the market.
