This is our 11th April Fools’ Day on Zwift, and each year ZHQ has come up with something fun for the community. In 2024 we ironically wore VR Goggles, then before that it was two years of special April Fools’ Day events. 2021 saw us big wheeling, in 2020 we were transported to 1989, and in 2019 we were burning rubber. The year before that it was Paperboy. In 2017 we had big heads, 2016 gave us the old-timey effect, and in 2015 we rode big wheels on Jarvis.
This year Zwift has a new surprise – Scotty the Squirrel in our jersey pockets:
