That one platform that shows a thief robbing a bike and running with it, that's pure reality nowadays.

Great roundup of available "zwift" alternatives. Appreciate the info.

No problem! If anyone knows of others, I’d be interested to give them a go. I’m a glutton for punishment in that way.

Thanks for making this video. I do miss RGT!!!

No problem! I need to get back on Rolla. Apparently they've done some updates since I made this video.

Awesome vid Crain!

About mywhoosh, I have some knowledge about the Topic, It's true that it's kind of UAE funded , but they are not Collecting any type of data at All, UAE is not involved directly or indirectly in the decelope;ent and progress of the project or any decisions taking . I can't mention names here , but some Big guys in UAE are fellow cyclists and they are as enthuasates about cycling as you, they wanted to give cycling community another alternative from different perspectives with cool new features. many new things are still to come. they are not trying to sneak into cycling community for some shady reasons , the app itself is screaming UAE they are not hiding it. and you know they could have aquired Zwift if they actually wanted something from cycling community , but they trying to be part of it not to dominate it.

I doubt that they (UAE or MyWoosh) just don't do anything with the data. Data means money. And no doubt somewhere will be written that they can use your data for other purposes than improving this app. I have no proof, just a hunch.

You re right i am like you i try the three and prefer indieVelo for the good dynamics 😉👍

Winter time means more Bike Stuff! Will be curious to see if/how the positives of IndieVelo and others influence Zwift updates.

Me too. Regardless of the “failure” of RGT, I do think it pushed Zwift in a big way. Cleaning up the Home Screen, adding teleportation, better pack dynamics (especially visuals) even pace partners are all partially the result of competition.

Would love to see you critique IndieVelo racing and compare it to Zwift.

I’m planning on it! I need to put some more hours on the platform to fork some solid opinions. I’ve mostly ridden Z2 on IV thusfar. And raced bots.

For some reason I could never get my whoosh to run on my laptop or tablet. Just will not load.

Time for a new video from JC !!!

Is there a way bot to have to steer the bike in my whoosh App? I just wanna ride and not have to click left or right on my phone to steer. I try turning off virtual steering but it doesn't recognize my bike. The bike I'm using is the Schwinn IC 2

@JonathanCrain

The steering function seems generally messed up. I tried pairing my Sterzo smart and it said it was paired, but wasn’t affecting the steering in game at all. I don’t know much about the Schwinn but I’d assume it doesn’t have any kind of built in steering control? And are you running whoosh on your phone or just using your phone for the companion app?

Is RGT still around? I would like to load one of my courses into an app and practice.

They have an iOS version that works on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV now. I also think you can manually turn down the graphics fidelity on the windows app as well. It runs fairly smoothly on my PC which is extremely low spec, but with a mid range graphics card upgrade

@@JonathanCrain My laptop and desktop both have i7 processors. When I tried to download MyWhoosh it would not complete the download as the minimum processor spec is i9. So a complete waste of time unless you're prepared to go to the expense of upgrading your pc's processor. At the moment I'm using Indivelo.

These are three alternatives that wil sell your personal data to make a profit. Also when you ride on Zwift 3 times a week then you are really a cheapskate for not wanting to pay for the service they provide.
