Today, Zwift wrapped up their 10th anniversary celebrations by launching Spinback, a personalized email review that showcases Zwifters’ career achievements. Each Zwifter who has opted in to receive emails from Zwift will receive a message highlighting key statistics including:
- Kilometers ridden
- Meters climbed
- Busiest day
- Favorite route
- Ride Ons received
- Workouts/races completed
- Number of badges earned
- Pizza slices burned.
Every Zwifter is also be matched to one of four Spinback Profiles — Fitness Fiend, Speed Demon, Social Butterfly, or World Explorer — based on your activity history.
Big Zwift Stats
To coincide with Spinback, Zwift revealed some fun stats celebrating what the Zwift community has accomplished over 10 years:
- 9,074,894,166 total kilometers ridden – equivalent to traveling to the moon and back 11,809 times. UK Zwifters have contributed to over 14% of that total distance alone, racking up 1,313,005,577km over the last decade, which equates to 1,707 return trips to the moon.
- 84,787,581,568 meters total elevation climbed – enough to summit Mount Everest 9.5 million times. Zwifters from UK have ascended the height of the world’s highest peak no less than 1,376,363 times (climbing 12,180,207,402m in total).
- 564,406,976 pizza slices burned – enough energy to power the International Space Station for 237 years, with UK Zwifters being able to fuel it for 35 years alone (they have burned through 82,171,749 pizza slices).
Here’s an Insta post I made to share my Spinback stats:
Sources in Zwift tell me the Spinback idea may be used annually moving forward, to deliver a review of each Zwifter’s past year activities, much like Strava’s popular “Year in sport” summaries.
Questions or Comments
What is the most striking stats in your Spinback? And is the profile Zwift picked for you accurate, in your opinion? Share below!
Thank you, Zwift. A nice feature. Helps put things in perspective for all Zwifters, especially those that have been at it since the beginning.
Seems like a lot of broken emails went out from the sound of things.
I like it but it is not accurate. Speed Demon is not correct. I am a very slow rider. I don’t do races. But I have received 518.000 Ride Ons.I ride a lot of rubberband rides. So Social Butterfly is better for me I think.
got an empty mail 🙁
Me to 🙁
A good idea but a shame that busiest day seems to be based on US timezone so Zwift says Tuesday which clocks all my Wednesday rides in Australia. Should be a simple fix to base busiest day on the riders timezone
FYI, if yours was missing the metrics try turning off your ad blocker. Mine appeared completely blank until I did that.
Hopefully in the future it’ll be something built into the app like Spotify Wrapped. This looked a little half baked.
The whole app is half-baked so… 🙃
Nice idea. Apparently I’m a World Explorer, which sounds about right.
But my “route to remember” is supposedly Two Bridges Loop. I’m sure I’ve only done that route once in order to tick it off. There are plenty of others than I have repeated more often.
Yeah, mine was absolute nonsense, elevation and date joined might be right 🤷
Well, I got world explorer with route to remember being Road to Sky. So pretty accurate 🙂
Busiest day is Wednesday. Kinda surprised but must be right?
No surprise is the route to remember, must have ridden Road to Sky way over 100 times.
I assume your “Tempus Fugit” favorite has nothing to do with speed testing… Maybe race warmups?
All the testing is done with separate bot accounts, so it’s not that. Yeah, I think I just tend to like flat routes for warmups and particular workouts.
Festive500 with coco?
I’m opted in to receive email notifications, but didn’t get this one. Is there a way to get it resent?
same here – I asked them yesterday and they said a second round will be sent out next week for the ones that haven’t received it yet
Not had one, I believe my emails are selected to on 😔
Got it. They forgot to mention the date I left.
I got busiest day of week, not busiest day. Is it broken?
I am absolutely not a speed demon. Very curious how they came to that conclusion. 🤔 Sand and Sequoias might be correct for the route since I am all about those dinosaurs 🦖
I got speed demon which is very inaccurate. But it’s still fun to see
Hi, I receive e-mails from zwift but didnt get my spinback email
How do you get it? Do you have to request this or is it automatically sent to your email?
Automatically sent.
I’m subscribed to Zwift emails, but didn’t get my Spinback. Is there another way of getting it?
I got World Explorer, which is definitely right because I’m trying to complete all the routes. It picked Uber Pretzel as my favorite route simply because it’s the longest route I’ve ever done (and I distinctly remember doing it on Feb. 20, 2021 with Zwift Insider!).
This was nice but I don’t ride, care about, or think metric. A suggestion would be to check account settings and have the email go out based on that.
Anyone else never got this?
I did not get the Spinback email and support does not seem to know what I am talking about.
It’s in the Companion app, not your email. (Although I believe they sent out an email notice, if you’re opted in to marketing emails from Zwift.)
Where in Companion App?
