It's not uncommon now at the mandatory coffee stop someone is talking about either a session they have completed on a smart trainer or taking about how they are seeing results with their power meter
What has been your experience with either a smart trainer or power meter?
Note . Now that I demo the Wahoo KickR I couldn't go back to my CycleOps Mag trainer .

I dont have either of those. I have to CycleOps fluid trainers at home and use them for exercise purposes only with my hybrids bikes. Comes in handy on wet days.
But a power meter has always intrigued me. Something about knowing your FTP and riding to a number allowing yourself to know your are at max and not blow up half way on a climb has its benefits. On the other hand, it makes riding too analytical. Takes away the organic nature of riding and enjoying the landscape you are riding through.
