Cycling: Average Power to Weight Data Field for a Lap or Activity?

Is there a way to get the Average Power to Weight Data Field for the current lap or activity? There is the Power to Weight Data Field but it's 'instant' (3s smoothed I think) and I don't see any lap / average fields.

I've searched through the CIQ app store and I can't find anything will just show average Power to Weight, most just show the power number itself (i.e. 230 vs 3.5w/kg)

Does anyone know of one?

You can always set your weight to 100kg, and get W/kg (*100). I understand that it's common practice for athletes training by Power.

Oh interesting, I didn't think about that. Does changing your weight do anything to any of the metrics? Estimated calories or such? I imagine it would.. I don't want to fix one problem and create another. But thank you for the advice I'll give it a try!

Yes, your calories will be off, obviously, but who cares about those anyway? No other metric I can think of is dependent on weight.

No, calories from cycling (with a power meter) comes from power - weight is irrelevant.

VO2Max is definitely weight dependent.
