Zwift Chat

[Norry1]

I have Zwift and TrainerRoad and often do both at the same time (like tonight). I used to buy Sufferfest Videos but have not bought the App. I'd really like Zwift and TrainerRoad to merge!

P.S., anyone else listen to the TrainerRoad podcast? I really enjoy it.

i suppose i am just used to moaning ! i moaned when lager went up to 4 quid a pint and now its god knows how much - so when you look at it - a month zwifting for 3 pints aint bad !

This. I have just drunk 3 Brewdog punk ipa at 3 for a fiver. Obviously I enjoyed them but they are now gone and I think that gives a bit of perspective.

Funny innit. I'll happily spent boat loads of cash on some things but get really hacked off when other things go up by a few pence.

I think £12.99 is okay for something that I use a lot and enjoy, but they need to be careful not to get too greedy.

..... separately, I was 70 minutes into my TrainerRoad session, whilst Zwifting as well, when Zwift just crashed out. I know it wasn't wifi as TrainerRoad carried on fine. I'll be a bit naffed if I lose my 1,700 feet of climbing though

That is quite a jump as many have said but like many i do use it a lot same as Norry, with trainerroad, my bkool sub ends in February and i wont be renewing so thats saving a few quid ànd at least zwift says there's a problem and puts up there hands. I'll probably do a lot more outside riding next year than this year so I'll stop it during summer.

It's equivalent to a decent bottle of wine, which I hardly drink these days. I get much more satisfaction out of £20 spent on TR and Zwift than a few drinks

I'm afraid I do both

 

[berty bassett]

i'm afraid i do neither very well

I'm probably better at one than the other

I appreciate the full year heads up, it at least gives me the chance to assess my usage for a bit rather than having to make a decision now.

If there has been an huge increase in Zwift users, then maybe the subscription is to pay for server expansion

 

[uclown2002]

The timing is bad given recent issues, but no increase for 1 year for existing users is welcome.
£12.99 is less than 43p per day, and I'm on 2 hrs a day.
Hopefully I won't have to sell my £1K Neo or one of the bikes.

30% price hike! Did they get their decimals in the wrong place ... inflation is only 3%.

It's not 30%, it's over 50%
I had time to work it out as I sat on my bike trying to log in for over half an hour!

Carl, you have a year and no doubt bkool will be the leading cycle training and racing software by then
