They are arrogant enough to Market their bike as “green” – the exception- because it is not a car! Green marketing like this obscures the real issues in sustainability, such as material sourcing, labor practices, shipping, packaging, and eventual recycling. Companies like this are harmful to developing a sustainable culture if they are more interested in marketing than a truly green product.

OK, it requires a crankarm attachment ($1195!!) but even with a total cost of $2190, that’s far less than the SRM, with what seems to be a similar design (crank-based strain gauges). The ANT+Sport wireless means it should be able to display its readings on a Garmin 705. Yes, the PowerTaps & Ergomo Pro are cheaper, but it’s great to have a new player in the powermeter market that uses Linux and an up-to-date wireless standard.
