You Might Be a Zwifter If… (Part 1)

A while back we asked the Zwift Riders Facebook group, “What makes Zwifters special?” We received hundreds of responses… here is our first selection of 25 favorites:

1. Pat O’Neill: Your Strava followers ask you if you are on vacation in Watopia, and when you will be back…
2. Kenny Suh: You get your news from ZNN.
3. Jon Hazen: One of your friends says “indoor miles don’t count”…
   And you’re no longer friends.
4. Søren Andersen: Before sleep each night you think about which race or ride you will join when you wake up 🙏
5. Daren Chandisingh: It’s freezing outside but you’ve got three fans going.
