Summary:
Power Meters are a critical part of advanced cycling training. Power can only be measured and not estimated through calculations. Power data is measured in watts.

Many years of research have gone into tracking, measuring and extracting value from these data points. A great introduction is the first half of th the Training and Racing with a Power Meter (http://www.amazon.com/Training-Racing-Power-Meter-2nd/dp/1934030554/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433873118&sr=8-1&keywords=racing+power+meter+bible). More info on the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_power_meter

There are many devices and companies that track this type of information: http://www.powertap.com/ or http://garmin.com/ or http://www.stagescycling.com just to name a few.

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps:
1. Buy a power meter
2. Do a bike ride with power
3. Note that there is no way to track this in HealthKit
