    What is the heads up display/screen I see front of some riders?

    This is a question I’ve seen asked by many new Zwifters. What is the little screen floating in from of some riders?

    The answer is simple: that screen indicates the rider is currently performing a structured workout as opposed to a typical “free ride.” Riders with this screen will also have a bar graph next to their name in the rider list.

    The heads up display shows interesting info about the rider, including current wattage and heart rate. It even changes color depending on which power zone the rider is in:

    • Zone 1: grey
    • Zone 2: blue
    • Zone 3: green
    • Zone 4: yellow
    • Zone 5: red
