A lab test almost certainly doesn’t provide this.

I understand the advantages, but power meters leave me cold. You see training plans where riders are asked to stay at X watts for 20 minutes and then Y watts for 10 minutes which surely means you’re spending your whole time on the bike staring at a small screen. Again, motivation comes into it here. How do you motivate yourself to go out for training rides like that?
