The WORST Thing About Zwift!

[@redben9046]

Look at the positive side no crash at all, no fat tyre lol

[@TheZwifter]

I crashed 90s before a Zwift race this week 😩😩😩 😂

[@Johnson_brendan]

The point for zwift is to train your legs in intervals and keep you in shape over your off season if you live somewhere that has a off season like Utah for me

[@dontoni8041]

I dont need handling. I only need to be fit 😆

[@TheZwifter]

👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@OSODELANOXXE]

Grew up in Mexico City riding around cars in one of the biggest cities in the world, and there is a lot to learn while placing yourself around lots of variables that can affect your ride drastically. This post statement is correct! Zwift will help you keep your fitness and anaerobic levels but when it comes to handling and reaction time Zwift got nothing on real life experience. like how to break fast before you get hit in real traffic, anticipation and read out other people movements while looking for a safer route to take before hand...

[@ryanmussett1016]

There are a number that were highlighted after spending a winter indoors. Biggest was it screwed up my bike handling. I only train and ride outdoors now. Zwift is good for fitness and socialising, that's about it. The indoor sport has its place but should never, ever be compared to being outdoors - your race category, FTP (unless through the same PM that you use outdoors), climbing, av speed, etc. pose very little relevance. You may very well get stronger in terms of power but if you can't rail a corner, climb or descend you'll not be quicker in the real world. I learned that the hard way 😂

[@benjapolcycling]

totally agree. reality check for me in real world when race season starts. feel sluggish to practice bike handling again like first drive in the snow every winter. but fitness gain is still very valuable and real though.

[@MrLeovdmeer]

When the weather stops you riding outdoors Zwift is very good for keeping your fitness lvl.

[@ryanmussett1016]

@@MrLeovdmeer I agree, that's why I said "Zwift is good for fitness", heck it got me super fit but I stand by that if you're serious about cycling it should supplement and not replace riding outdoors. Personally, I'd rather ride and train outdoors regardless of the conditions (unless they're genuinely dangerous) and build in some mental resilience and bike handling in poor conditions - I see it as an opportunity to improve not and obstacle but I'm aware that's just my approach. I get it, not everyone wants to be out in the rough and cold this time of year but my point was if you start talking about Zwift like it's being on the road then there's a problem because outside general fitness the two are not the same.

[@MrLeovdmeer]

@@ryanmussett1016 That is thrue on the road is the real deal.

[@benjapolcycling]

@@ryanmussett1016 agree with this. Sometimes having zwift and replace occasionally bad or cold weather ride can weaken your spirit of riding. However the big caveat in my area there are daily accidents from less sunlight and just more bad drivers, and several friends i know have injury out in the MTB trail riding when the trail condition is not good... need to balance and know yourself too.

[@towerofresonance4877]

I have a right broken shoulder to prove how much I love cycling at high speed and not worrying about if there is going to be a huge bump coming.

[@TheZwifter]

OUCH! hope you're on the mend

[@towerofresonance4877]

@Zwifter 6 years now, no surgery. Just a permanent lump at the site where the bone fused naturally.

[@hagakuru]

doing 11kw sprint on Zwift and holding a perfect line, outdoors I'm all over both lanes.. ROFL

[@scottytremaineplays9461]

Same! Plus the heat and sweat!

[@xprodigy1x674]

Get a dehumidifier. Life saver.

[@carrickdubya4765]

Does Zwift make an immersive VR version with matching headset?

[@jeffreylamont8111]

Here in northern uk it rains almost every day with strong winds,also ice and snow in the winter so zwift is perfect for training

[@TheZwifter]

👏👏👏🥶🥶🥶

[@DrDoinks]

Thought this was going to be a crash video because you were rusty from riding Zwift indoors all winter 😂😂

[@duppy9012]

Thats actually my huge positive on Zwift haha my handling sucks so my real life rides my average speed is always like 5mph slower cos im terrified of getting launched off the bike especially with the drivers we have in the UK

[@TheZwifter]

👍👍👍

[@erb6411]

My outdoor bike handling skills mean absolutely nothing That’s the biggest pro for me!

[@benjapolcycling]

I choose to be a cyclist and admire people with all around cycling skils rather than pure zwifter anyway. I guess I can read your feeling get stuck behind slow car like that . Been there 😂😂

[@Brantastic07]

Mount your phone to the bike & have zwift on it as you do an outdoor ride

[@waterdeptworker]

Zwift most A cat racers are listed under 125 pounds, .....right.,,,haha

[@TheZwifter]

Yep… as a 97kg B racer… I can understand how annoying that is haha

[@marinaartiyasa9487]

Reality different than indoor

[@higdolini]

Wow, what a discovery😂 it’s called indoor cycling for a reason😢😢

[@TheZwifter]

Crazy, isn't it

[@WilliamHall-u8r]

Rain and darkness - I don't pay a subscription fee to ride in the rain and darkness. I should be able to turn off rain and darkness in settings. I could ride in the rain and darkeness for free outside.

[@TheZwifter]

That is sooooo true! You can hack this with a tweak to the config file though 👀 but it should be an easy option in the settings

[@alanbell1821]

Tbf i have great fun on zwift ,,its not outside

[@JohnRanby]

Stick to indoor cycling if that's how you ride outdoors, you get way too close to that car, if they had to slam on for something running on the road, you would be a gonner. Becareful, be safe :)

[@TheZwifter]

Sorry, Karen xx

[@CarhunterVST1]

Mate, he was miles away

[@gdme6]

Mine is that i cant show how good i control my brake i do some insaine clutches

[@tconnolly9820]

I only clicked on this video to find out what was zwift? Now I know, I can forget about it again.

[@TheZwifter]

Me too

[@dontoni8041]

Dont forget ur health man. Get out of the bar

[@markwalters8996]

That cartoon environment

[@TheZwifter]

Not a fan of the climb portals then? 🤣

[@assortedmountainlife]

@@TheZwifter I love the climb portals, they're practically the only thing I do on zwift

[@ffwdzwift4541]

Draft on zwift is totally unrealistic

[@TheZwifter]

As a taller rider who is waaaay more areodynamically efficient than some of my pals that are 1ft shorter in real world rides... I completely agree!

[@szczurrat2402]

Hills and inertia.

[@JohnPaul-vl9ss]

Nothing, love riding period

[@TheZwifter]

So you love EVERYTHING about indoor cycling?

[@The_Herniator]

@@TheZwifter He didn't say that he loved everything about indoor cycling. He just said that he loves riding.

[@TheZwifter]

@@The_Herniator Yeah, by saying that to the question then they must love everything about indoor cycling, I never mentioned about all riding. Are you ok?

[@The_Herniator]

@@TheZwifter yes I am 100% ok

[@yeyeTF2]

zwift crashes

[@TheZwifter]

36 secs from the sprint finish 🫣🫣

[@PaulioMaldinio]

Zwift is Honestly trash, you'll be like 3.4 miles into a 5 mile ride and it crashes. Or you'll set off and halfway through you randomly are not on the route, so it won't say course completed. Utter Garbage

[@TheZwifter]

That's strange.... what device are you using?
