    SO TRUE 👍

    As a frequent Robopacer rider, it would be nice to get the position of the Robopacer locked in the table on the right hand side. Even if I’m 1 minute in front or 20min behind.

      Agree!
      This lack of "tracking" has been bugging me too.
      Right now, you depend on the map to indicate where mr. robot is hiding.

    Better time estimations is one of the minor annoyances I had for years. Only seven to go! :D
    Nice call out on brands buying better performance. I don't mind that if it means Zwift has a money stream other than subscriptions.

    I just want them to bring in mountain bike trails. There are a lot of mountain bikers using zwift. Could make it super punchy. Throw in some jumps you have to Sprint for for bonus speed if you make them... There's a lot that could be done that would at least break up the monotony

    • @LasseBuck
      @LasseBuck День тому +1

      I love that idea!
      It can be a speed bonus if you make it or a speed penalty if you don't make it. After some tweaking and testing, Zwift will know what feels right.

  • @shanemario13
    @shanemario13 13 годин тому +1

    Hey Shane, it’s Shane, I wonder if you could get Zwift to allow us to select and jump into a route badge directly from the Achievement area… seems obvious to be able to “select and ride” the missing achievement from where you see that it’s missing… but maybe I’m just thinking too logical.

    One cool feature that Zwift could make is a route builder option. Would it not be cool to allow us to build a route to ride? So before your planned ride sit down build a route and then go for the ride! Sort of like using ride with gps to build a planned bike ride.

The updates are a pita because they are so huge that they can postpone your training session easly for 10 minutes or more. Otherwise, I am quite happy with it.

      Yeah it's mind boggling how they manage to make them so ugly year after year. And it's not like they're incapable of designing nice kits, which appear on other events. Can you believe they actually tried to sell the tour de zwift kits irl for previous years. I can't imagine many people bought them.
