   Dear American #cycling friends, I have an important question.

   Your weight is measured in lbs and your power in watts. How do you express your relative power (power / weight)? The metric part of the world uses W/kg.

   What's your preference?

   Boost for visibility appreciated.

     @ricobeck @stufromoz @timrichards Except from the UK who - for whatever reason - tend to measure the body weight in stones 😀

     @ricobeck @mastobikes @fedibikes @stufromoz I like that tactful "metric part of the world". Otherwise known as "everywhere else". :)

     I always thought stones was weird even when I was a kid. But I've heard people using kg more these days.
