You do realize the InRide module is a Virtual Power solution, right?
"Insulting"? I'm joking.
An "amateur" cyclist may get some use out of virtual power if he/she uses it wisely... That made me laugh.
If speed and resistance are known, "virtual power" is at least as accurate as measured power.
Road cyclists use meters to measure power because resistance is unknown.
Resistance and speed are both variables in a measured power calculation (power meter on the road), yet speed is the only unknown variable in a "virtual" power calculation.
How could you argue a calculation with more variables is more accurate?
Because it's cycling..
