I never got into gaming or smart phones either. I would rather see and have shared experiences with real people rather than artificial experiences. I have a smart phone but it is a PIA to ride with. I use a compact flip phone for emergencies when I ride.
Same thing with using a treadmill and hiking in the hills. Just not as effective in improving my fitness.
Have fun with Zwift if that is your choice. For me, I cannot beat being outdoors.
I would wager a bet that all of us would prefer to ride outdoors rather than inside. I know I do! You live in an ideal area for cycling, but for many this time of year it’s just not possible, so an alternative is nice. Keep riding an enjoying the outdoors for me.
