I have photochromatic (off Uv) single prescription...thinking about bifocals. Are the photochromic type of yours, ones that works off UV or would they wirk while driving a car?

Hi, a great question which led me to contact Optlabs. Mine react to UV so don't react so well behind a car windscreen but until very recently "transitions" lenses on bifocal were available which do work when driving but they have a temporary issue in getting hold of these so have removed the option. If Varifocals are required though then Transitions lenses can still be ordered.

Where you following a loaded course? The dual screen is when it senses a climb coming up when you're not following a course ( I'm away right now so can't check but sure this can be edited) The screen you describe is what climb Pro looks like on a climb during a pre determined loaded course

@@OrdinaryBlokeOnABike you’re welcome. Technically according to CRT (Canal & River Trust) you’re not supposed to cycle through bridges. You’re required to dismount and walk through for the safety of pedestrians since they have priority over cyclists on the towpath. That said of course many people do just cycle through. As a cyclist you’re also required to cycle the route closest to the water when passing pedestrians. Lots of little quirks to cycling towpaths. Also to be noted towpaths aren’t actually public rights or way. They are legally permissive pathways requiring permission from CRT for their use. Because CRT receive a government grant paid for by taxpayers they have given the general public blanket permission to use those permissive paths. But it’s worth noting the distinction for insurance purposes in the event of an accident etc. But it does all get a little complex and tricky depending on where you are because some towpaths are actually supported and maintained by Sustrans.

I maybe in the minority, but I hope not, but Zwift (given I ride on it at least 3 times a week as part of my Training Peaks training programme) is great value even after the price increase. I get from it exactly what I want (I don’t race or take part in Group Rides other than those organised by my Cycle Club or Training Group when the weather is not conducive for a Club Ride.). I’m an annual subscription and use it year round.

I’m in this camp, I’m in the software business and I see this a lot where the value is not seen by the general public. It’s costly to add features, fix bugs and generally run a system in servers etc. I’m also of the mind I’d prefer a stepped approach to a price increase. I use Zwift 2 to 3 times a week in summer and 4 to 5 in winter so per 90 session is decent value.

The problem is that Zwift is no longer synonym for indoor cycling. For me, indoor cycling is worth 100+ $$ per winter month, but I don't need Zwift to push the pedals. With the main struggle of the competition being lack of user base, Zwift should have rather reduced the price to ensure maintaining the monopole. People finding an alternative are not coming back. I think. We'll see. Upping the price step by step would not have been better, I am afraid. People would scream: "Zwift increasing the price for the 10th time in 10 years?!?"
