Bike lights?
Is it just me or did anyone else notice/experience no lights on their Zwift bike when riding? I was on a ride last night and the weather turned and it became very dark and cloudy with some heavy rain but my flashing light was gone. Is that a new feature or just a strange circumstance?

it always bothers me that in Zwift's Central Park, there are police cars parked on the bike lanes. Can't escape that nonsense.
I never really liked the lights, and I really don't like it when it rains. I quit early once because I had to get off my bike to adjust something and it started raining. That's why I'm inside riding, I don't need it to intrude into my basement.
Yes, petty complaints.

They've definitely reduced the amount of rain over the years at least. It used to "rain" during a Zwift ride almost every 10 minutes at one point. Rarer now and I guess it does break things up a little.

The dinos and other realistic elements are not a bother? Everyone flying by at >4w/kg? The mini skirts and everyone being well endowed? I just hate the color saturation bomb.

Maybe because I'm just looking at my 22" computer screen, I don't really pay attention to all those details but I do pay attention to the puddle of sweat below the mat so I know I'm getting something out of it.

I don't even notice the rain, bike lights or scenery when I'm busy chewing stem in a Zwift race.

1) If you don't have a light on your bike, no one will hit you.
2) When it rains, you don't get wet.
3) The dinosaurs won't eat you.
Ride On.
