I remember buying a Sailing game for my Oculus Rift and I got seasick af. The space games (where you float in space) are worse because you 'forget' about gravity.

Outside of z1, VR is a no go for fitness. There may be ways around it but those headsets make you sweat even until sedentary conditions.

Hopefully they will get some meaningful competition.
To steal a gaming term, the meta is changing. Less are on the road and more are on Zwift or Gravel. I'm the only one left on our team that races road, and I'm considering racing elsewhere. Problem being I'm antisocial and I dislike most of other local teams for various reasons. They're all dumb reasons but reasons nonetheless!
