SRM, Power Tap and many others are available. They're expensive,but a very objective way of monitoring your riding. Do you use one? Why? What kind?

No
Don't need it - I'm too awesome
Don't really care, I'm just riding for recreation.
powertap pro. I am a wattage junkie. Particularly of track sprint events.
was this supposed to be a poll???
if not, yes, i use a powermeter, every morning when i flex in the mirror lol.
Another poll without an "other" category!
Yes, I use one, but it is not listed.
I am kind of mixed on it. I am a total data geek, but at the same time, I cant stand the thing right now and ride my fixedgear bike all the time. No watch, no computer, no power meter, no NOTHING!
It's a relaxed and liberating feeling!

I'm hopelessly addicted to my Polar. It has made me a better cyclist because I keep the upper display on "Pedaling Index", watching my efficiency. I have gone from ~200 Watts average to about 280 Watts in only a month. I can hold that for 50-70 miles, averaging 23 MPH.
When I used my polar, that PI thing was pretty sweet...
The serenity of no data is remarkable! I never thought I would say that!

I wish I could afford one.
The other beauty of the Polar Power is you now can mount the speed sensor on your other bike. Since the S720i has a 2 bike memory, you already have the B-bike squared away. I have my speed sensor on the mountain bike which I use for fun rides, exploring off road and short trips.
I use a Polar Power Meter and I love all the date that it analyses for me.
