About the Stages Cycling experience:
"Stages Cycling’s core product and engineering team banded together in 2010 to pioneer power measurement for indoor cycling. We are all cyclists first, and have vast experience with all facets of cycling: we are road, track, mountain, and gravity riders with a wealth of cycling industry experience. Together our group has 50-plus years of design, manufacturing, and product experience spread out over the cycling and fitness industries, while our core design group has been granted over 200 patents collectively during their careers.
When it comes to the product, the most important fact to be aware of is that the Stages Power meter is not the design team’s first power meter. Rather, the Stages Power outdoor power meter was developed using the knowledge built through the engineering and manufacture of the team’s proprietary indoor cycling bike. Currently thousands of these power-equipped bikes are operating under the high demands of health clubs' indoor cycling programs."
