Zwift Arcade

While I was surfing Youtube I encounter some asian cycling videos. One videos shows a Zwift like arcade where one can bring their own bike to ride. Do we have anything like that in the USA?

Another is a Zwift cycling competition. Does Zwift hold these cycling events in the USA?

Zwift has all kinds of virtual rides you can access from almost anywhere.

OP was asking whether anyone knows of a health club-like venue in his or her area where cyclists ride trainers together in the same room using Zwift.

Rowan and I ride in the same room together using Zwift.

I'm sure anyone could get together a group to do that if they wanted.

This is a writeup of something in this vein in Japan (written in English).

Interesting concept, though you get to wondering that if you're going out with your bike, why not just ride outside? Or, If you're a fan of spin classes, isn't an advantage that you don't need to bring anything to the gym except a change of clothes?

As to whether in the US.. couldn't find anything.. this is kinda funny but not exactly the same thing:

I can see the advantage in bringing your own bike to a Zwift arcade. You might want to ride inside because it is too cold outside or snow is obstructing the roads. You might want some company while you ride and socialize. Your bike will fit better on you than what they use in the spin classes.

Zwift is holding an e-racing series that just started. Professional team riders will compete. I believe that London had the first virtual race just this week. Called the KISS super league. Zwift live on facebook carried the race. Not interested in watching or racing it, still interesting tho.

We'll be right over. How long does it typically take to bike to Austria, and is it cold there this time of year?

Maybe you should check what you have written and correct the glaring error.

There were (at least) two, and intentional. (Hence the second post).
