Blaming the wind for why you aren't able to push yourself further might sound like a cop out, but it's a reality for many cyclists, so to measure just how much it has an affect on your performance there's the PowerPod. Able to be attached easily to your handlebars, the PowerPod works by constantly measuring the force that you're experiencing as you cycle. Using the sophisticated technology within and the subsequent readings the device will provide, you'll be able to see just what your power output is while cycling.
Able to be paired with any ANT+ bike computer and priced at just $299, the PowerPod is an innovative way to track performance without breaking the bank.
