I just discovered Zwift today, and I looked at your previous tips video this morning! Can't believe the timing of having a second one come out this same day. I would love to use Zwift so much, but I need to work on finding an affordable trainer, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for deals. Hope to see you and others out there on the virtual tracks some day!

It’s not a new feature but one of my favorite features is how flexible they are with setups. Like I just use rollers and a 4iii single sided power meter. But I could also use one of many smart trainers, stationary bikes, or even just a cadence/heart rate setup if your trying to save money. Also being able to use it on multiple devices helps too.

@@lilwillie428 Do you have issues maintaining power with the single sided? I have a stages single sided with a fluid trainer. It doesn't even track cadence if I'm doing pedal drills and the power fluctuates wildly at times. Which is a pain during workouts where you need to maintain X Power.

Bosco 215 it seems to work fine for me, I haven’t tested it agented anytime else but power and cadence both seem to work. I haven’t been able to really do a all out sprint as it’s hard to balance or get enough resistance after 600-650 watts. I think the connection is even better than my old cyclops smart trainer(also don’t have any problems making shure the tire sits right with the right amount of tension), but never tested side by side as I had to sell that to get the power meter. You could try moving your computer(or whatever you run zwift on) closer to your bike to see if it helps with connection, also with Cadence it pops up as 2 devices with the same name at startup, so if it doesn’t say anything under cadence censor, try connecting it to there If that doesn’t work Your power meter might just be having some problems, I heard mixed reviews about the stages from friends so that’s why I went 4iii. But I still had to get mine warrantied this spring so it’s worth looking into

@@Bosco-nq2kk I've got single crank 4iiii & Bontrager cadence/wheelspeed sensor setup on a Kinetic Road Machine (no power controller). 1 sided PM works very well - more responsive than just the wheel speed, but not as responsive as a smart trainer or direct drive. I haven't tried leg drills, but a friend did the other day & that workout didn't go well with 1 legged pedalling (as you might expect). Maybe for those days, you have to disable the PM as a workaround & just use wheelspeed

They need to incorporate the "virtual push", so if you see someone struggling, you can ride up behind the and give them a push. When I was struggling with back problems, I had some friends that would ride up beside me and place their hands on my lower back to help me get through a tough area. (safely of course)

I wish I'd have known that you can select a route, AND then select a workout and you'll get credit for both. The workout will follow that route, and if you complete the route before you end the ride, you'll get credit for said route. This is especially great for hard workouts and can get you a good amount of the way up the Alpe Du Zwift on your way to the 25 Alpe achievement.

Oh, and the easiest ways to get drops that most people don't know about, is to pedal downhill. Since the speed of drops that you earn is based on watts, speed, AND steepness, pedaling downhill nets a huge pile of drops as a result, even pedaling gently.

One more I thought of, is how to give up to 5 people near you a ride on with one click, but using the "map" view on the Zwift Companion app, and zoom in far enough to see a white circle around yourself, and tap it to give the five closest riders a ride on. This has a limited range of about 30 meter diameter though. Bonus: You can give people in the oncoming lane ride ons as well, you just have to time it carefully and press the button right as they draw even to you, headed the opposite direction.

I know this will have some folks spitting out their gel or electrolyte in horror, but... The great thing about Zwift is you can exercise while... doing something else like watching telly! I stopped cycling on roads due to deteriorating sight, but Zwift means I can still get the exercise, but staring at the screen isn't that exciting, but an hour or more quickly passes while watching telly - it would be much easier if there was a pan flat route for just clocking up some KMs - suddenly finding a cliff in your path doesn't half detract from the show! I'm sure it's a great training tool for those that want it, but it's a decent home exercise tool for the rest of us! Instead of watching telly eating pizza, I can burn pizza while watching telly.

Try some SST workouts. Try to gradually increase your FTP over time. I usually do these sitting and a cadence of 90 - 95. I'll stand for a few seconds now and again just to change my position. I believe that sitting is more efficient than standing especially for longer efforts.

If you are running Zwift companion on your smart phone, just tap the icon for the "power up" icon you see on your screen. Then it will start.

First, you have to be level 12 to go there (unless you enter an event that goes there - then all levels are allowed). Then just select "Road to Sky" as the route you want to ride.

Same. I’ve got a pretty high level on Zwift too and have NEVER seen those. I don’t race though, and given the nature of those power ups, guessing it’s only an option during races.

Are there more n00bs like me who like to squeeze their breaks while on the trainer? (Using Zwift) A problem could arise when you are on a bike with hydraulic disk brakes! So don't forget to put some sort of block between your brake pads in the rear (and maybe also in the front) !! :-|

Went off Zwift because not really into the full racing scene anymore, plus only having a dumb trainer and a rescue bike as my indoor set up it was a bit of a bore. With only a few routes to ride it became tiresome. I have not given up with any indoor sessions though, I use Rouvy which at least has plenty of variety and seems to work well Algorithm wise with a dumb trainer set up. All of my indoor sessions are soft pedal recovery rides, although this year with my shoulder injury it became an important part of maintaining my fitness plus interest with the myriad of routes on Rouvy.

I try Zwift periodically but find it really demotivating because the power settings seem to be so inaccurate. As an example, I joined a ‘recovery’ group ride that was supposed to be 1.0-1.5 watts/kg. I was putting out 2.5 watts/kg and still getting dropped. I have commented to Zwift support but heard nothing back. Is there some clever trick in the settings or is Zwift just rubbish?
