Riding with a Power Meter, Calories and Foodies!

Wednesday, 13 January 2016 by Bikesnbites

Something I found out: Calories burnt reported by a power meter is lower than one reported without a power meter.

Was wondering why yesterday’s ride posted a higher heart rate but yet lower calories burnt, as compared to a 4th Dec ride with the same 28km route, ride elapsed time and slightly earlier time of ride. Yesterday’s ride had much stronger headwinds, so that probably explains the higher bpm..

This can only mean one thing… I need to work more to burn off those delicious nasi briyani!

The stats:

Yesterday’s ride with Stages Cycling power meter:

Avg HR: 153 bpm

Max HR: 172 bpm

Calories: 532

—

4th Dec 2015 ride, without a power meter:

Avg HR: 143 bpm

Max HR: 167 bpm

Calories: 749

Anyway, here’re some of what I usually enjoy during the week…

The long term test begins… Stages Cycling power meter and Gokiso wheels!

Thursday, 07 January 2016 by Bikesnbites

Heard a lot about ‪Gokiso‬ Wheels and their phenomenal rolling but aren’t sure just how many watts they save you? I might be able to tell soon with the‪#‎StagesCycling‬ power meter!

What I do know, though, is that the wheels save me energy by allowing me to coast much longer and use fewer pedal strokes overall for the same route done many times with different wheels.

Am also happy to report lower pulse rates, but like many, that might not be concrete enough a data for me to see just how much energy I save.

I’ll probably fix my bike’s stock Mavic Cosmic Elite wheels (probably lighter than my Gokiso) back on the bike, do my usual route for a week or longer – to average out the data for different times of day, headwinds tailwinds etc – then see just how much power difference there is between wheels.

Anyway, if you’re looking for a nice power meter, check out Stages Cycling!

According to Steve from In The Know Cycling, it’s the best power meter for road cycling. Read his super informative article here!

Cheers,

Theo
