C'mon Dan, maybe he is more relaxed now. Maybe he put virtual ice under the virtual "boys". A virtual vasectomy can be challenging.

Another update: One of the people I waved at multiple times found me on Strava and gave me kudos for the virtual ride.
I'm kind of torn on this. On the one hand, it's nice that he acknowledged our virtual time together.
On the other hand, he did so after the fact, as if his workout was so important that he couldn't take a moment to perform a sweaty alt+tab and look up keyboard shortcuts for the game so that he could wave right back at me.
Should I kudos him back?
Is 1 virtual kudo = 1 real kudo, or not?
Each day I use this program, there are just more questions than answers.

500 waves unlocks the middle finger perk. Keep it up!
1000 waves unlocks the M1911 perk.
Am I the only one who thinks this would be more fun if mixed with Battlefield 4?

When will bike shops migrate to the digital age and start selling digital bikes? Maybe they'll start a virtual bike parts shop where you can upgrade your bike to be whatever you want.

Don't worry too much if the triathletes don't wave back. The F2 key on their computer may have been rendered inoperable due to them having peed on their keyboard.

Please disregard this post, as it was not sufficiently sarcastic for my thread.

I know you're joking, but I bet you it isn't far off for Zwift. You can already "unlock" real bikes and such, it probably won't be long before they're running tests to see if they can get people to pay to use certain brands/frames in the game. It doesn't have to be much, a few thousand people paying 99 cents to ride a Dogma or whatever would help monetize the whole thing. It's like the "freemium" thing that most apps/games are moving towards on cell phones.
At least so far, it seems like they're generally using the real world bikes (and high end wheels) as rolling commercials by/for the manufacturers.

Paying for training simulators isn't really unheard of...Trainer Road, Sufferfest, Bkool, etc. As far as I know, Golden Cheetah is the only free option.

BKool currently has it where you pay $15/month or $12/month for a yearly membership (however, you can get your money back for up to 3 months if you don't use the simulator).
