Here's a few missed bits: Pace Bots! Very handy for warmup or cooldown sessions before and after races, plus the teleport function allows you to jump instantly into whichever bot group you desire. If you choose wrong, no worries, just teleport to the next harder (or easier) bot. Teleport function is also handy when someone you know begins Zwifting if you want to jump in and ride with them (it's also handy if you want to avoid long lead-ins for certain routes - jump in with someone who's just about to start the Alpe du Zwift, and you can lop a couple miles off the ride). Banded rides! You know, meetups or club rides where groups of friends can choose to ride together where no matter the ability of the riders, as long as they're pedaling they won't get dropped. Banded rides make for very fun get-togethers that aid those who aren't strong enough to perform certain routes on their own by letting the more powerful rides tow them down the road. The Bikealicious club does these quite often, and there's a lot of people who run banded meetups through some of the most challenging courses of Zwift. Run side of Zwift has a bunch of oolies, but my favorite is that you earn experience for milage even during workouts (on top of the workout experience) so if you're doing the run side of Zwift and are focused on leveling as quickly as possible, always do your runs in workout mode for maximum bang for your milage buck.

One additional 100 km/h hack for those of us who are too light to gather enough speed down the radio tower: (1) Acquire a TT bike with your drops, but leave it in your garage. (2) Ride in Watopia until you get an aero helmet power-up, but don't deploy it yet. (3) Head up to the radio tower. (4) Once at the top of the radio tower, switch to the TT bike, then start sprinting downhill. (5) When you're at the section with > 13% downhill, you should be at 80+ kph. Now deploy the aero helmet power-up and keep sprinting. As a 62 kg rider, I tried it twice, and it worked both times!

Failed to mention that Zwift does NOT support the V5 Kickr for virtual shifting. There are a LOT of us V5 owners who got royally screwed by Zwift/Wahoo over this since they had previously stated that the V5 would be supported. Now they want all of us V5 owners to spend more money to get the virtual shifting. No thanks.

When I jumped into the virtual cycling "world" last January, I tried Zwift and Rouvy. While Zwift has a better social scene, I quickly tired of the synthetic world and silly game functions. In contrast, Rouvy's real-life routes and riding dynamics are amazing. I love exploring different places around the world. There's always something new to discover, which keeps things interesting. While there aren't as many races and events in Rouvy as there are in Zwift, there are still enough to motivate my competitive spirit. If Rouvy didn't exist, I'd likely be happy with Zwift--but I'm glad that there are options.

I thought that too, and tried Rouvy for the same reasons. But then I felt kind of "lonely", comparable to how I sometimes feel on long solo rides outdoors. The real life video actually made this worse! Like, this is such a cool route, I wish I was riding it with friends. Btw, do a lot of people ride with real-life friends in these platforms, setting a day, time and route the same as they would for an outdoors ride? Seems especially nice if you all live far apart.

@@HabaneroTi Yeah, Zwift has a better social scene. Because Rouvy has so many routes, it's easy to end up riding by yourself. That said, Rouvy does have races, group rides, etc. It just take a bit more effort to find them than it does on Zwift. "Ride of the Day" routes are also usually busy if you like company.

Since there's no danger to going as fast as you can down a steep descent in Zwift, you can go as fast as the physics, your bike and abilities allow. So what's the fastest you folks have gone in Zwift, assuming that there wasn't some king of bug-caused fluke in the SW? I think I got over 50mph once, which isn't that fast compared to what pros can do. The weird thing is that I felt nervous even though there was no reason to!

i understand that you have to make videos about zwift as they are one of your primary sponsors, however in all honesty I was never able to get used to the cartoon worlds. I do however use Rouvy around 5 days each week - with a hill climb race every sunday morning and thursday evening ( last night was padron from this year's vuelta and last sunday was pico de los reales) as well as shorter flatter races on sunday afternoon and monday evening. I also raced alpe d'huez a few days ago - managed that elusive sub hour. for me, virtual cycling has become somewhat of an addiction. i can travel around the world and visit places i would probably never get to - when i want.

Yes. As somebody who played computer games from the Super Nintendo right up until the Nintendo GameCube, I find the Zwift graphics terrible. They are just not good enough for anybody used to playing video games. Not to mention the improved graphics of the latest consoles.

Indievelo have virtual shifting and work perfectly for free! There's no need to expend money on hardware or that "zwift bikes". You can change gears just touching one key. So, any wallmart bike will may be use for training in virtual training!

FYI, your doing it wrong for the 100kph. Climb radio tower, go full areo rig and sprint the start of the down and stop peddling. The super tuck will do the rest unless you are really light.

You don’t have to have the Zwift Cog to use virtual shifting, just the Zwift Click. However, the cog makes it easier since you won’t be tempted to switch gears mechanically.

@@percyveer2355 The Zwift cog has no mechanics in it and only a 14T cog. The gear ratios are controlled by Zwift and the trainer. So you can have a normal cassette on your bike and put it on the 14T cog. Lots of people have reported it’s quieter than the Zwift Cog v1

@@bate01071 I know what you mean if you join randomly selected routes in Rouvy. The downside of choice, with users spread out. However, joining recommended routes often related to challenges are much better where more folk are concentrated. Personally I feel it very empty being in Zwift amongst an enormous swarm of riders in an XBox-like world. Another great solution to ride with others and have a lot of fun in Rouvy is to join in the Muckers Worldwide events, open to all, on Tuesday/Thursday nights at 1905 BST or Sundays at 0910 BST. Other times too. Great fun and in real-world stunning scenery.

Hopefully Indievelo keeps developing to be a good Zwift competitor. I’ve switched, it’s completely free and basically the same as Zwift in terms of game-engine and performance. I also like the customization they give you in setting things up and displaying everything on screen. It still lacks the social aspects like events, group rides etc but if you’re focusing on trainingplans or doing workouts it’s a no brainer imo.

Teleporting! The phone app has a Teleport button when in the bot pacer rides. Tap it, and a list of all the speed groups appears. Pick an easier or harder one, or even the group you just got dropped from. You jump directly to the new group and have the usual 10 seconds to start pedaling. I use it to warm up with an easy pace, then jump to my usual group, or on to a too-fast-for-me group to see how long I can hang on.

Hack: if you don't hate riding in the rain and wind don't bother with zwift. Tip: all the cash you save by riding your actual bike, upgrade your tyres, wheels, brakes etc. there is something about suffering up hills in the rain that no amount of tech can replicate.
