I did my first ride on Whoosh yesterday (8-10-24) and it was on Apple TV! Glad they got that up and running...I mean, cycling!

This was very informative. Just bought my first indoor trainer and I am about to set it up with Mywhoosh. Thanks Sir 🙌🏾👍🏾👌🏾😎🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Tried it this weekend (SRC) and its pretty decent, incredible for £0! But not without issues. Seems from other comments its cool to hate Zwift a bit now, but switching between 2 (as a racer only, I rarely do free rides or workouts tbh) shows me the pack dynamics issue is a tough nut to crack. On MyWhoosh it felt like we were all attached with actual elastic bands, you drop slightly behind someone but if your power is even close to theirs you fully spring from behind to in front and then the 2 of you play an odd game back and forth without wanting to. 'luckily' I was dropped after a few KM as put into Cat 2 so that stopped being an annoyance once solo ha. The steering I also couldn't get to work pre race - I could steer to the very edge with 1 tap of arrow in either direction, but not back to the middle or only a little to one side - so didn't use in race. Will come back for more, but if anything it's made me more understanding of why it feels like Zwift can't quite get pack dynamics right - its more difficult than maybe we give them credit for most of the time

Great informative video Si, I didn’t know anything about Mywhoosh but now I do 😊
I might go and take a look

Thanks Si for a really interesting video.  As you say, it’s a chicken and egg situation in terms of building the community.  Having tried and struggled to juggle racing for different teams across different platforms in the past, I prefer to keep my eggs 😉 all in one basket.  Assuming that MyWhoosh begins charging for access, can I see myself moving across from Zwift?  No chance - the abundance of competitive racing on Zwift is the defining factor for me.

Once it's released on Apple TV i'll give it a shot and many others i know.

its the future , just like Indievlo, but it stop compatibility with older versions of Adroid when all other ones, like zwift, keeps running

Thanks

Why does the speed of my bike pedaling doesn’t match the speed of the camera movement? I’m going real
fast, and the camera speed doesn’t appear to change much….i tried adjusting the power frequency, dynamic camera and also my weight and height, yet nothing works 😮

Thanks for the summary. I just tried mywoosh on my iphone, had a 1,5h freeride training and then the app crashed and i lost my activity. Also it takes control over my bluetooth headphones and sets them on hearthrough. No way to deactivate it. Not a nice start, but I hope it will improve and that the macOs version will be released soon. Looking at that rediculous prize money and already talking to some local club members to form a team maybe soon.

Is the Virtufit Etappe 2.0 also compatibel with MyWhoosh? Or is the Zycle Zdrive the cheapest option when wanting a quiet indoor bike (magnetic resistance and V-belt)?

MyWhoosh did a great job in preparing me for a recent Grand Fondo (Training plan). My frustration with the app is that it doesn’t always register a completed training session. I’m not sure if this is because I live in the Southern Hemisphere and East of GMT, but it’s very annoying from my point of view. The other thing I would like to see is the ability to import an outdoor workout into the calendar. Other than that it all works well and seamlessly links to my devices and trainer.

It will be interesting to see if Jason Osborne shows up to the WC. He's in a team sponsored by Zwift.

MyWhoosh has a long-standing issue where Training Plans and Workouts intermittently fail to load (infinite spinner or empty lists). Routes and Free Ride still work. This appears to be backend sync–related, not user setup, and affects both Mac and Windows. It’s been reported for over a year and hasn’t been structurally fixed yet.
So free platform, good riding experience — but reliability of workouts is still a real issue.

It's all quiet, no sound at all my ride, why?

Thanks Si, you've given me the impetus to try again to get it running, fight my way through the teething issues, really looking forward to giving it a go and who knows, maybe save on a Zwift subscription.

Fantastic review Si. Love your effort in putting out great videos. I know it takes a lot of time to put these together.

I have a heart condition at 68 but I want to ride again (used to race road USCF) and am thinking of buying a decent smart-bike (not just trainer) and a free online thing like mywhoosh, for winters. I dont like monthly bills/subs. I do like the rides and having bots riding also and the "ghost" me from last week. A nice bike but not crazy pricey. Which one? I could use my laptop with it. I dont care about real group rides or spin classes.  I guess they're all made in China, right? Bummer. "Tofu Dreg"

I not a professional biker would this work for me?

Anyone know if I can pair my Tacx bike? I have tried few times and it doesn’t recognise it
