What's your favourite way to use Zwift?

Global Cycling Network the opportunity to race from your garage is great. Pushes me harder than any other workout although perhaps "favourite" isn't the right word...it can be satisfying and motivating though!

I love Zwift - it's made indoor training an activity to look forward to rather than staring at a wall and sweating. Question on the workout modes - if you are using the FTP Builder programs, do you need to factor in a test every week or so to update the FTP level (assuming it goes up, of course...!!!)?

That’s a great idea. And pair it with some type of VR experience and when you ride over a cobblestone road, you feel it. When you ride past the town bakery, you smell the bread. This would be so awesome

Thanks for this video and for the series (yet to watch). I'm trying to get over the mental drudgery of using my bike trainer and have picked zwift to help, in part by your videos on it.

Matt, amazing Zwift clip in! And looking very thin. Workouts are great and riding in groups.

Perfect timing. Just finished my Zwift setup and this was a great little intro to the user interface. Thanks GCN :)

I really decided to start Zwifting because of this video!

I love your room! Thanks for the Video!

This definitely should go on virtual reality, imagine the potential of this, only problem I can thought, is that you are going to be wearing a head set when exercising so hard, maybe it would require a new special headset design, promoting freshness, otherwise for example lenses are going to get fog.

Loving using Zwift with my Kickr Rollr 😊

Im building a special custom light weight aero bike just for Zwift... Cant wait!!!!

Was not ready for that Simon to Matt transition at 2:07. Where did Si go? Is he safe? Did he see a flock of dirty bikes outside and begin hunting them down, never to be seen again? Where did Matt come from? Was he hiding in Daniel's hair? Did he use his allen key wand imbued with National Road Race Champion powers to banish Si to the Land of Unwritten Rules to forever clean extra chain keepers?...Sorry guys, its been a long Wednesday...Oh, Simon's back at 4:24. You should always watch the whole video.

I know this is sponsored content but it's useful information for people who are new to online trainers like this and GCN is far more entertaining than anything Zwift could probably come up with in house.

Great Video!! Thanks for sharing!

343 days left for trial? nice one GCN!

I'm definitely being sold on this. I have a very basic turbo trainer at the moment, but will have to look for an affordable second hand smart one and get an ant/bt speed cadence thingy aren't I now.

I am going have to try it on rollers its got to be more fun that way

Thanks for this. Just joined and I'm a little lost. Big help.

Are you grouped into the zwift system based on what "speed/watt" information you provide (i.e. speed sensor, power meter and smart trainer)? Or do you have people with speed sensors racing against power meters and smart trainers?

Awesome guys. Thanks heaps

Thank you found this video helpful

Wow,nice. Love it very much.

omg this is the cardio game i have been looking for.

I had the idea of riding my real bike in the bike trails or the city streets or ANYWHERE. Record the ride on a GoPro, then go home, put my bike on the indoor bike trainer, then play that Gopro video and Ride! It's a way of helping me get the feel of being outside!!!! REALLY COOL! Although, it's nothing like this Zwift, but close enough if we don't have the dollars to buy it yet

Thanks for great vid ! Please what are those TRAY looking things in front of some bikes , any reason for them thank you

after watching your GCN vid on electronic hacks yesterday, it'd be pretty sweet if there was a way to make the hidden di2 buttons on the hoods be toggle switches for direction changes in Zwift....

Hey guys Thank for this informative video. I have a question for you what brands of smart trainer would you suggest for getting setup to get the Zwift?

I think you forgot to mentioned that with the App you can see the events and also subscribe in any of them. Additionally, interesting to check the power races web to see the results of the classification and data of a race. Cheers

Benny C Wait, was Peter Sagan actually here for that? ( I was very out of the loop)

Matt Stephens cruising along at 290W with barely an elevated heart rate #lifegoals

Lots of good stuff, mates. What about the two boxes under the speed and time?

Can you do a zwift video where you compare a power meter and heart rate sensor setup, to a speed,cadence and heart rate sensor setup, and look at the variation in stats for the same loop?

Can you use Zwift with an indoor spinning bike that is equipped with bluetooth connectivity and measures power? What spinning bike models do you recommend if any? Thank you!

3:36 I believe it is actually total elevation climbed, not current elevation as Matt says

Hey guys. Could u recommend some simple speed meter + power meter setup for zwift?(Will it be enough?) I'm using a trainer which not in the list of supported trainers on zwift

If you don't have a smart trainer, how does it behave when going up and down hills? I'm guessing you just have to pedal faster and crank up the resistance yourself?

great video, how do you get the ride profile larger its barely legible on my screen, thank you

I need one of these.

what is better for play with zwift/or indoor training air conditioning or ventilation?

Thumbs up for using an allen wrench as a pointer.

Can you recommend on smart trainers? I'll appreciate recommendation for a range covering liw to high prices.

Thank you. You said both units have to be on wifi. Guess who didn't have wifi turned on : (

Is there inside interactive ride/race program that does not require a subscription?

Can you also use a stationary bike with zwift? What is important if you choose the one?

I need some help sone everything but just cant get my movement on the Tacx T2900 to be recognised on the ZWIFT app. The app is actually connected via bluetooth.

if my pc is connected Via LAN will it work is does it have to be via wifi for it to connect with the app

How does Zwift work with a static bike ( Nero Sports, Bluetooth, Upright Exercise bike) with a friction dial rather than gears? How do you get the GCN kit like I wear on the road?

I have a question. I live in the middle of nowhere which is beautiful riding area but really spotty internet connection at best. Does Zwift work offline? I'm asking can I use it the same way I use Strava upload my ride when I have internet ?

Hi guys. I was on a little while back. Well, last week. I mentioned I’m visually impaired and thinking of getting a KICKR and Zwift. I do a lot of research before I start anything. I’ve decided I’m going to get the KICKR. Next thing is Zwift. So, here’s my question. Is it possible to stream from my iPad to a TV. I don’t have an Apple TV. I would go out and but a new cheap tv. I’ve KZreadd it and only Apple TV came up. Oh, by the way. Love the channel. And I’m even going to get a new shed for this as well. I’m the only cyclist a house of 6. Keep the good work up.

Pro tip: there's this really fun section on the mountain course called 'the Pretzel'. Trust me, you will love it.

Praying hard to encounter them boys.

Will my Apple watch heart rate monitor show up on the Zwift app or will I have to use a chest strap?

If I connect the trainer directly to my PC, will I need an ANT dongle or can it all be done via BLE? Also, for HR I have a Polar strap I bought maybe five years ago. How do I get the HR reading from that to Zwift?

Hi, just used Zwift today for the first time, how do you turn off the white writing that keeps coming up with advise etc.

Does this only work with Apple devices for the mobile component? Please say it isn't so.

Looking at getting wahoo kickr an wanted to use my mobile as a remote like in this video but then stream zwift on my TV also perhaps using my Samsung tablet an a hdmi cable? Is this possible?

Hi... do you need an ANT connection for the Laptop? Just to be sure... if the Watt Bike has Bluetooth is the ANT required??

As long as I have a speed sensor of some kind, can I use any turbo trainer?

ANY VIDEOS SPECIFICALLY FOR RECUMBENT TRIKES?

Can you advise, or do a video on, the noise levels of the various turbo trainers. Living in a 1st Floor flat I do have consider my neighbours. Cheers

how do I correctly setup the resistance in my clutch knob in my Jet fluid Pro trainer? My Garmin is showing me lower distance and speed than Zwift. I fell I'm cheating

Might've been worth having a brief 30 seconds on hardware - i.e. ant+ usb dongle if using pc or Bluetooth if using iOS on either a power meter, smart trainer or HRM etc.

MyDogCricky Sounds frustrating. My main problem of late has been getting the mobile app to pair when riding (since a recent update) despite being on the same WiFi. To be fair otherwise it has been pretty straight forward - bike, trainer, Garmin speed/cadence/HRM, usb ANT+ dongle into pc where Zwift is installed and HDMI from computer to TV. More recently I have a Bluetooth capable pm so can also just ride with an iPad for a super quick start up but just have to make do with no HR as that's ant+ only in my case.

After a bit of experimentation turning WiFi off and on seems to help when the app isn't playing ball.

How do you turn left and right? Or does the software do this..?

How do you project the surroundings on your walls as shown in the advertising?

Would a speed and cadence sensor be enough to get on swift if you just have a basic trainer

I was onthe fence about shelling out for a direct drive smart or just going for a cheap magnetic, this video clinched it for me. Im going to get the elite direto i think. Hope its a wise choice cause im not made of money. Great vid, I'm excited to try this.

Hello guys, I am using a speed sensor from a bike computer "Cmeilan" from China. Would they suit for Zwift? Those sonsors work via ANT+ (BLE4.0) and contain speed sensor and cadenc sensor as well. Thank you in advance for your respons!

Lasty needs to race, no more procrastination!!

Loving Zwift, it's been a game changer in the way it saves time and effort on before work early morning rides. I have had the wahoo smart trainer about 6 months now and it seems super solid and reliable. I watch loads of GCN/GMBN and this is another great vid, but I was hoping you would explain about ERG mode. Having read about it online it seems to be based on your FTP and stops the need for loads of gear changes. If I set it to my current FTP I can find myself grinding to an embarrassing halt. Any tips would be ace. Also, where can I get one of those GCN towels?!
