Quote: "a system that calculates power based on the forces working against a rider, rather than measuring the actual force being put into the bike, is inherently less accurate"

Interesting that the author's bio on Twitter describes him as a "tech writer". Perhaps Mr. Fretz was out riding the day his Physics class discussed Newton and his pesky laws.

Yeah, it is both frustrating and tiresome.

We all know there is bias in political reporting; it would seem the same is true of technical reporting, too.

Yeah, I didn't read any real technological assessment or evaluation in that article. I suppose it just goes to show though that on Twitter, Facebook, and in some occupations, you can pretty much pretend to be whatever you want to be, even a 'tech writer'.
