@kyzyl2 I'm extremely sceptical that this app could measure power with any accuracy, but as far as I understand it is not the case that it completely ignores windspeed; as the inventor says, it uses weather as one of the variables. Presumably it takes real-time wind speed and direction from nearby weather stations and factors that into its calculations. Of course this may be wildly inaccurate if you're climbing up a bare hillside and the nearest weather station is in a sheltered valley half a mile away, but it does make some attempt to account for wind speed and direction.

@Rendel Harris we used to rent an allotment in a village near Basel and there was an annual autumn party/festival organised by the gardeners. One year as we were about to leave we went to ride our (unlocked - never a need here) bikes and my wife’s was missing. Our allotment neighbours were outraged and were getting ready to get the police in when… up the road rides a gentleman on my wife’s bike, weaving around in a drunken manner.. He gets back and receives the wrath of our neighbour (not us we were in giggles) and he explains that he had to go home to feed his cat and just needed to borrow a bike!

The physics principle exploited is that opposing forces equal applied forces. Conventional power meters measure applied forces--very well but admittedly not cheaply. This app appears to measure acceleration and slope to determine two of four important opposing forces. Notice something missing? Wind...the dominant opposing force when riding on the flats or in a pack. This app assumes that wind speed equals bike speed in order to "guess" the critical opposing wind force it does not measure. If you always ride solo and never ride when the wind blows maybe this app will work OK for you. Otherwise you are wasting your money. There is no such thing as free power.

Not gonna lie, when I saw the name LAP I thought 'Here we go again, yet another pretentious brand like MAAP, PNS, ASOS and Rapha that wants to grab a piece of the 'bragging rights' cycling category. But, to my surprise, what they bring to the table seems pretty well considered. Let's see if this idea gets some traction.

The difference in the UK is that the police don't try to hide their pride in paying no attention to bicycle theft, in order to maintain credibility with their motorhead mates. When the British Transport Police actually declared they weren't interested (OK, there were some provisos to that, but what they really meant was: cyclists can get stuffed) in cycle theft, they were forced to retract that officially but continued in practice to teach cyclists a lesson by making no effort to catch the thieves (I assume - no personal experience of this particular police-encouraged crime wave)

Operation "Sorry Not Attempting Prosecution"? Certainly some forces see it as a success!

I have some Assos gear and generally like it but at 295 GBP, trouser legs that slip upwards while riding are most definitely unacceptable. That's a kill right there in my book. Hell, I own several bib shorts that cost me 1/4 th of that amount and while they are not so supremely comfy as Assos where the pad is concerned, no slippage.

Bristol City Council is hell bent on turning the former railway line into a so-called relief road for the A4. Van dweller pitches are simply a ruse to bide it time whilst it plots its next manoeuvrers.

dodgy smilies… sorry!

those aren’t the cool
those aren’t the cool stages… Pau to Tourmalet, now *that’s* a cool stage. Over the Marie Blanque and the Aubisque i hope…
looks like they’re trying to string it out to the bitter end again, tourmalet at 18 and ITT at 20 should make the last week interesting.
more on this later btw…
Is that a mountain top finish
Is that a mountain top finish on the Tourmalet? That will be a good stage, swap this years Ventoux for the Tourmalet!
I bet that is the one they choose for the Etape…
Yeah, they’re going over the
Yeah, they’re going over the tourmalet on 17 and then back up it on 18. so one of those two will be the etape i’d guess
The 17 stage is the re-run of
The 17 stage is the re-run of the original Tourmalet route. 3 cols including the Tourmalet I think. That will be a bugger of a day 🙂

Etape is 18 July, follows route of Stage 17 (summit finish on the Tourmalet)
Anyone want to commit early
Anyone want to commit early on to a road.cc jaunt to the pyrenees? I would certainly up for a bit of a group outing.
I will!
I will!
The etape is Pau – Marie
The etape is Pau – Marie Blanque – Soulor – Tourmalet apparently. Yowch. You miss the Aubisque though, so it could have been harder…
The 2008 Etape was
The 2008 Etape was Pau-Tourmalet-Hautacam. I’m a little disappointed that the 2010 is in the same region and, to me, stage 9 Morzine looks more of a challenge.
Guess they want to celebrate
Guess they want to celebrate the centenary of the first mountain stage, but if so that doesn’t indicate much forward planning when they chose the 2008 Etape.
I’m in for a trip to the
I’m in for a trip to the Etape. Meant to do it this year but a minor back injury meant the doctors wouldnt sign me off as ok by the time the Jan deadline. Luckily I was fine in the end, and went down to have a look at the tour anyway. An amazing holiday.
Dear road.cc, would you be interested in me writing a blog about my preparation for the Etape, kind of like a ‘fat bloke gets fit’ story? I’m keen to do the etape anyway, and I can be witty at times. Current weight is…er, high. But I love love love biking and this could be the journalistic break I need. Or something.

Cheers boys.
hmm… maybe, we’ve got someone
hmm… maybe, we’ve got someone else who is also supposed to be writing a blog about getting fit. Hey we could have a competition! 👿
A competition, as is who
A competition, as is who reaches the summit of the Tourmalet first takes all? At the moment I’m 138kgs, 6’2″ and not really as obese as my BMI rating suggests; built like the proverbial brick outhouse. I reckon I could still drop a couple of stones though, and I can’t think of a better reason to become fitter than I’ll have ever been. Come on mr road.cc, you know you want to. It’d certainly make up for being eternally last in the fantasy football league…!
Gandberg…Im going to take
Gandberg…Im going to take the pressure of being last in the football league off you within the month i expect!
