I was up late last night getting my geek on with a new power tool. Golden Cheetah is a new software application currently under development which intends to make some form of bicycle powermeter analysis software functionality to the good people out there who don't do Windows.

From the Golden Cheetah web site:

Golden Cheetah is a Free/Open Source (FOSS) power training software application. Wow, this is great and they are already far enough along to provide some usability it seems. Check out screen shots. I have been dreaming of something like this for some time. Unfortunately my C skills are pretty weak right now so I don't think I can help directly. But mucho ataboys for these guys attempting to do this.

This looks pretty cool. I am getting curious about the Ergomo. The Powertap still represents the best value in a PM I think but the Ergomo has it positive points. A couple of things that I like are that I could use my Ksyriums with a PM if I had the Ergomo. Screen real estate is also better on the Ergomo. All the parameters are visible at one time. Not so with the PT, you have to scroll through quite a bit of stuff to see AP, Cadence, HR, and interval time. This can be annoying.
