Discussion Of This Ride’s Results
The most accurate results for this ride were when the internal GPS Speed data and an external cadence sensor were used. Since this ride was on the road and there was not much coasting, you can also observe that if we had no additional sensors that the results were fairly close to the crank power meter with an offset of +5.17 Watts +/- 1.40 Watts. The use of a cadence sensor is recommended, however if you are the type of rider which pedals continuously and does not coast for very long, the power measurement results may be acceptable.

Cykelstrom As A Bike Tracker
As a biking tracker app the Cykelstrom Bicycle Power Meter App displays real time information while riding and records the position of each observation. At the end of the ride, Cykelstrom will upload your data to your Strava account automatically for further analysis. Your ride’s data file is also saved as a GPS Exchange Format (.gpx) file in your “Download” folder so you can upload it manually to any bike tracker program manually.
