I'm one of those for whom power meters and computers and all the stuff that goes with them are not meaningless accouterments. One of the many things I enjoy about cycling is the ability to push myself hard. The electronics quantify my work and keep me honest...and I admit to enjoying geeking out a bit too. Being 65 doesn't equal being weak and slow. And enjoying riding hard doesn't preclude "stop and smell the roses" rides either.

My cycling preferences are neither more nor less valid than those of others. If you're on a bike, you're right.
