Yup the price increase is dramatically 😵 but i stay on zwift at the moment

I started riding in 1985 for my triathlons in Miami . But lost 2 friends getting hit by cars . People driving with cell phones, country roads I used in 1996 are beat up not repaved . Plus protect my skin from the Florida sun. Started on Zwift in Decf 2023 , 289 rides later , 48 days t got my Tron bike , and my cycling for my Duathlons is alot strong and faster . And when I started riding indoors in 1987 it was because my 1st friend was hit and killed . Used Cateye CS-1000 . LOL, used it till Dec when I got a Garmin Smart trainer, now I have 40 in TV with Apple TV and now I have done 19 races. I love it , do not miss riding outside . I have 5 Duathlons planned done 2 already , my cycling is so strong and fast at age 67 . In 1996 here in Clermont FL is a beautiful road that had 6 homes , now in 2024 3000+ homes , yet same narrow 2 lane road double yellow no passing lanes. All of the forrest cut down for homes feet apart. So bottom line I do have a bike trail zero cars , will drive to it for a race simulation ride 1-2 times per month . Wish Zwift was around in 1987

Thanks for posting this information. Did a ride today.

Hi there , how do i mute in game chats ?

Thanks Ken. I did last Tuesday's event at my country's optimal time. There were 1200 riders and trust me, at the front, it was a race ! We were burning along at approx 45 km/hr a lot of the time on the flats. It was magnificent ! I stupidly did it on the Atomic Cruiser and nearly died but it was a great event ! I can't wait to enter the next one on a more appropriate bike but what a wonderful gathering of the Zwift community this is

Thanks for the tip

I did the first long workout one in a group ride , i must say i was cooked 🥵 but also felt sort of achieved

Thanks Ken !

So i dont actually understand the concept of riding outdoors in this event ? Do I take my bike out for a ride or Do I take my zwift setup outside and ride on zwift in my garden ? 😅

Thanks 😊

Very well explained, thank you! Up until now I was also very confused and intrigued with the way this profiles were displayed and would change along a route, now I am absolutely enlightened!

This was super helpful, thanks!

Brilliant idea using teleporting for intervals ! Thanks Ken

Thanks

Where exactly is that staircase? Thank you.

Great video thanks ! 😃👍 I completed 3 stages by myself and some i cheated a bit . Ride on

Really helpful videos. Thanks for making them!

You have the best videos explaining Zwift features. I found your videos on icons when I first joined Zwift, been a fan since then. Thanks for the video. 👍

Your videos are really helpfull ! Could u make a video about Zwift Big spin ? There is also a cheat when u join late , u still can get the wheel spin also . Ride on 💨

Thanks for this really good tutorial. Do you know if there’s a limit to the number of times you can teleport in a single ride? Seems like you could get a lot of xp without having really ridden those miles.

Going down perhaps not so good for knees? Vs. Uphill?

That is a LOT of steps! I had no idea that was nearby. Hope you were gentle on the knees!

Another few points 2:38 about Ride On 1. You can only give another cyclist one Ride On. You can’t keep giving the same cyclists a Ride On. 2. There is an achievement badge available if you earn 30 Ride Ons in one ride. Great production sir.

Every time I've received an inappropriate power up (like a feather on a long flat) I've always selected it immediately to just use it up and get it out the way so that it doesn't interfere with the next power up. Even though using it is detrimental at that moment. I never knew you could delete it ! That's gold, thank you

Thanks for your Zwift videos Ken ! Always enjoy them, always learn something when I thought I knew it all :)

I was so happy when Zwift announced the player highlight. Now I think it has been highly exaggerated, everyone is highlighted for no important reason at any time. I would have like MY RIDER to remain highlighted and NO OTHERS. Thumbs up was enough for me, no need to highlight everyone. I can spot teal color highlighted players better than my own white one. All this makes no sense to me as I still have trouble finding myself in a 200 rider group as many of them are highlighted better than me. There should be an option to turn off all the other highlights that are not your own.

Well I have wondered which riders were getting ride on but not certain any real importance. Missing something?

Does the ride on bomb also work for riders coming in the opposite direction if there aren't people in your lane?

Thank you Ken. It adds more visual FUN to the participation. I use the PLAY controllers and only have to HOLD the 'Z' Button for one second. Even easier!

Ah, the big question. Am I the only one that is a bit disappointed in the spring after hard riding on zwift? The steady crank turning of zwift is certainly different but there must be more.

That looks idyllic - I keep thinking I'm done with riding outside, but it's really I'm done with riding on roads with cars - that looks like paradise.

Spring and summer incoming 👍 Hope flowers and trees are blooming soon. Nature can be beautiful 🌳 You always use SPD/MTB pedal/shoes?

King. Amazingly clear explanation of one of the worst UI designs I've ever encountered.

You’ve got me now looking at workouts after following your last series of streaming Ken, I’ve just done the Group Ride Cryo-Gen Power Tuesday Interval Group Ride plenty of people commenting how hard it was and it was certainly tough with virtually no rest intervals 🥵. I’ve also done a few longer distance rides plus the 100 mile ride with BMTR on Zwift but l only just completed the ride as my iPhone was saying only 10 % battery remaining even though it was plugged in !. Do you know if I could have switched phones with the Zwift app already on it and continued the ride ? or am l asking the impossible 😂. Great Inspiration Ken, Thanks 🚴👍

That's a great tip 👍 Thanks for sharing with us.

Looks cool. Something you have to do at least once in life. Scary to ride in the upper lane. Do you own a track bike?

This mini map is almost useless, the biggest gripe I have with it is the same you talked about, I never know which way its going and it is frustrating. The other thing, which has nothing to so with the mini map, is when other cyclists are passing me even though I can see on their screen they are doing less power than me, sometimes the difference is almost 100 watts. How the hell can they be overtaking?

Thanks! I was today years old when I learned this - much appreciated!

Thanks, learned a new thing today 👍

Excellent explanation sir. I have been writing for a few years on swift, and it is always been so confusing the way they have that map setup it's absolutely ridiculous but thank you very much for your very informative video

Great information Ken so quick with the new uploads this has been very informative albeit a bit confusing because of Zwift. It definitely helps in group rides, plus if you don’t like it you can just switch it off. Changing the subject a little I’ve just done a Zwift Games Loop de Loop Race and was entering some “Notes” for myself with reference to how l got on and to encourage myself on the next race only to find that l had accidentally entered it in “ Comments “ Whoops ! . Once it’s there is there no way I can retract it and put it into “ Notes “ which are private. I’m guessing you’re the man who will know 🤔. Excellent work Ken 👍

I’d like to see a rider-only highlight, good idea but friend highlight is a bit pointless and confusing

Is there a way to print out a route that shows elevation for an entire route?

Such a well presented video for anyone new to Zwift, especially if they don't have an extensive outdoor group riding background. Well done Ken !

Zwift does some things really well. This isn't one of them.

I like it. It's hard to pick your friends out if their kit is blue tho 🫤

Thanks again, Ken. As usual with Zwift: "It depends". I'll overlook the glitching and I like the quick identifier. I had chosen a shirt which I would QUICKLY see myself, and now that's not impportant.

I really like this new feature. I always found it difficult to pick me out in the peloton, especially in a larger group for popular events. I don't know if this was a very requested feature, but I'm impressed they are working on it, even if it's not yet perfected.

Even if only my rider alone was highlighted, I would be extremely grateful since I mostly ride with bots and a great deal of riders. Unfortunately I'm on Android and this feature will only be available in the next release for us. Appreciate all the info ahead of time though, thank you!

It's just awful unfortunately. It's way too small to read, switches the direction of travel which is very unintuative, and worst of all quite often shows a different route to the one you're riding. For example on Innsbruckring, the minimap will constantly show the Innsbruck KOM despite it not being part of that course.
