I quite like using the "clean view" option to clear the clutter off the screen & then just use ZCA as a head unit as I would when riding outdoors. It reduces some of the artificial feel of Zwift especially if using a large screen close to the bike. It also seems more respectful to the graphics designer who spent hundreds of hours building the worlds which whilst not as realistic as other platforms are more flexible (e.g. u-turns & detours) & so more fun due to their efforts.

I wish there was a way to tag fellow zwifter during the ride. Like if you were doing the Watopia volcano circuit and wanted to try and lap your friend. Would be great to tag them to be able to know where this tagged rider is on the map so you can give the right chase effort.
@mathewrose2951 2 роки тому
My favorite hack is to pick longer routes that have the particular segments I want in order, even if I'm not going to ride the whole thing. I've found that the first half of Four Horsemen gives a 2, 7 and 21 minute climb in order in the first hour. Likewise, Uberpretzel packs a lot of early climbing in during the first hour followed by plenty of flat if you want to have an hour of climbing followed by an hour of zone 2. Pick the route that suits and stop when you've completed the parts you want.

We need some augmented reality apps for real world cycling, so you can ride your bike and see interesting things overlayed on your AR glasses. Game features like power ups and pokemon, or useful data like a GPS map and progress, Strava competitor tracks to race against, dangers like potholes that the community has marked on a map.
@xchopp 2 роки тому
Yikes! That's a list of everything I hate about Zwift. the less clutter teh better. I also reduced the resolution to minimum as it's _more_ realistic, as human vision prioritizes the center of the field-of-view: having massive details in the periphery is superfluous. Each to their own, I guess!

ive never cycled zwift, although i used to run on it from october to feb - end of last year through to this year. often saw cyclists in gcn kits. One of the best things with zwift is that you sometimes get pro athletes on the same course as you. I was able to run with Mo Farah during a 5k event on xmas eve and at least 8 times was able to run with lionel sanders. perhaps i should invest in a smart trainer.

@deodatoreyes3430 2 роки тому
you can just use a basic bike trainer then connect a speed/cadence sensor to your phone/laptop to use zwift. much better if you have a power meter
@toshman696969 2 роки тому
ride outside....waste of money. i tried it hoped on the trend wasted alot of money on new trainer and zwift. after 3 months during pandemic i couldn't deal with riding outside staring at a tv. it fills a gap once in a while when you absolutely cant ride outside but never really enjoyed it.
@babygerald4645 2 роки тому
If you are enjoying riding outdoors then by all means you should keep doing that. Join a local club to find rides and people to ride with and work on bike skills you will need in the real world. Zwift won't teach you the physics of braking, cornering, etc and unless you have a rocker plate or a fancy trainer you won't enjoy time out of the saddle very much. However, when weather turns unfavorable or you should find yourself unable or unwilling to ride outside, then you'll appreciate Zwift most.
@Daniel-ng8fi 2 роки тому
It entirely depends...if you like riding outside and enjoy that, then keep at it. Personally I no longer have any desire to road bike outside. I no longer have to deal with traffic, I don't have to carry hours worth of food and water on me, or click clack through the shop looking like a prat if I can't, I don't have to deal with traffic, I can ride jerseyless with my music blasting, did I mention I don't have to deal with traffic? I say this as someone who loathed indoor training and could never manage to ride one longer than 30 mins and would ultimately just fall out of shape during the seasons where the weather sucked. Obviously that won't be the case for everyone, some people will still hate riding while staring at the tv, or have no interest in the racing that zwift offers, or the training you can get from other apps. So know one can really tell you if it's worth it, because it will entirely depend on you. But I would say to be aware that it exists and that if you have the opportunity to give it a try and see how it goes, becuase if it works for you it opens up a whole nother world for your riding.
@stithis 2 роки тому
Indoor training is great for structured workouts. Nothing will beat riding outdoors for sure, but for me I ride indoors majority of the time because priorities take over, kids, wife, work. Training at 430am or 11pm is only the time I really have to ride my bike.

To be honest, I’m never able to understand how I can join my current Zwift session in the companion app. I wish there was a button that said “You’re currently in a session, would you like to join that with the Companion app?”
@davebannister 2 роки тому
It should take you into the GAME view for your live Zwift session automatically when you open ZCA as long as you are on the same wifi network on both devices. So check this before you start your ride on Zwift & open ZCA. Sometimes you might lose GAME view on ZCA during a ride if wifi signals are lost and so one device has to rejoin a (different) network or switches to a 3/4G network on phone for example so some advise putting your phone into airplane mode to prevent this.
@dpgrenfree 2 роки тому
