Zwiftcast Episode 67 – Eurobike

September 5, 2019

LAST UPDATED September 5, 2019

The smart bike revolution has finally arrived. Wahoo, Tacx, and Stages all debut their all-in-one solution to indoor cycling. And in so doing, they lift the price tag of smart training. Are these good value, given you don’t need a bike? Will they make indoor cycling more attractive to more people? Are they the game-changer long predicted as such by Zwift CEO Eric Min? Simon, Shane and Zwift Insider editor Eric Schlange try to provide some answers.

Zwift also announce the launch of FutureWorks, a test bed for new game features, with steering the first innovation to be opened up to the community for feedback.

Plus the launch of the Saris MP1, the first rocker plate produced by a recognised trainer manufacturer.

This episode has interviews with movers and shakers in indoor cycling… and some insight on THAT big big screen wowing all who pass the Zwift stand at Eurobike. We hope you enjoy listening.

Simon Schofield

Simon used to live in Yorkshire, but now he spends much of his time in the cycling paradise of Girona and the surrounding area, in Catalonia, Spain. In a previous life he was a journalist and TV producer, spending a career both in front of, but much longer behind, a camera and a microphone. After signing up as User No 10 at Zwift, Simon conjured up the first ever video review of the upstart new platform and later wondered if there was enough going on in Watopia to interest an audience. One hundred episodes and 1.2 million podcast downloads later, he had an answer. Now a little longer in the tooth and stiffer of limb than he used to be, Simon is still pretty much at his happiest in the saddle.
