    Zwift Play and the Wahoo Kickr Bike

    in ,

    (Originally posted June 18, 2023, with updates at the end) If you own the Wahoo Kickr bike, you already have handlebar-mounted buttons for things like using power-ups, turning left and right, making u-turns, etc., so you might be wondering how much value there might be to adding the new Zwift Play controllers to your system.…

    Zwift Point System Flaws

    I am slowly closing in on Zwift level 50 which was (until recently) the highest level attainable. Alas, I suppose enough people had hit level 50 that Zwift HQ decided it needed to raise the roof to level 60, but I suppose it’s just as well. After all, my zeal for Peloton started to wane…

    Ban the Tron Bike?

    in ,

    Just about every time I ride Zwift, I wish I hadn’t won the Tron Bike. I still remember how much I wanted it at the time, and I remember how hard it was to get, but now that I’ve had it for a while, I am actually a little sad that this part of the…

    Apple TV Siri Remote and Zwift

    If there is one thing that Zwifters using the Apple TV have been able to agree on, it’s the frustration of trying to use the horrible Apple TV remote with the Zwift interface. While I think part of the blame can be placed on Zwift for not being better able to optimize their app for…

    Making sense of all of the pop-up and overlay displays on the Zwift screen. The first in a series of posts.

    If you’re a Zwifter, chances are that you’re running (or wish you were running) the Wahoo Kickr smart trainer. The Kickr, which is now in its fifth generation, may not be the absolute best trainer out there, but it is the established leader in the space, and when you’re dealing with a system such as…

  • Zwift Century vs. Actual Outdoor Century Ride

    Zwift Century vs. Actual Outdoor Century Ride

    in , ,

    Which is harder, a 100-mile century ride on the road or a 100-mile century ride in Zwift? Is zwift harder than riding outside? Riding 100 miles isn’t particularly easy even under the best circumstances, and involve many hours of cycling, but there’s definitely a difference between Zwift and riding outside. Having done both, I thought…

    Metric Century in Zwift

    in , ,

    This morning I decided that the time had come to snag that cool gray jersey that Zwift awards you when you do a 100km ride. Here’s how I went about it. Before I start, let me be clear that this post is not about preparing for a metric century in Zwift … you can prepare…

  • Peloton or Zwift?

    in , , ,

    For your indoor-riding money, which is better: Peloton or Zwift? I have both, and although Peloton riders and Zwift riders each have more or less the same goal of getting a good cycling workout, they almost could not be more different. After about 1,000 Peloton rides (just about every day for a couple of years),…
