- In a recent post ZwiftInsider detailed all information contained in the "Nearby Zwifters" sidebar. This sidebar has evolved over a number of years and now contains a LOT of information packed into a very small space on the screen.

Click for ride-ons. I always thought they had gotten a ride-on and I've always been pissed that everyone else around me has gotten a ride-on except me! Hilarious.
I needed this. I feel bad when I can't reciprocate a ride-on 👏
Hi Shane. I had my friend watch your video on recovering your luggage from the Melbourne airport using the Apple airtag, as he and his wife were leaving the next day for Germany. He bought the airtags, and is thankful he did. His wife got her bag after being in Germany for 5 days, and he didn’t get his bag until they were flying back to Canada 17 days later when they went to the airport in Munich and he did exactly what you did at the Melbourne airport. He got the airport staff to go through 2 rooms full of luggage until the app tracked his bag to another room where the app said his bag was. The staff member said they had no plan in place to get any of the luggage back to their owners as they were so short staffed. Crazy. Anyway…thank you for your video.
Zwift need to get their arse in gear and give us more control of the interface elements. Sidebars, top and bottom bars and mini-map should all be toggle controlled and sizeable.
First just bring back the ride with function back. Please for the love of Zwift. I want to be able to join a friend during their ride
Also the green pro jersey (pro tri rider), fellow meet up riders and sweeper
Finally, thank you for the explanation!
This is awesome! The only missing things I could think of are the red beacon for event sweeper, and green highlighting of names for people in a meet-up with you
Always useful insights for newbies and oldies. Thank you.
Great info as always from zwift insider and great video Shane 🙏
Top tip Shane & Eric.👏👏
Really useful as always. I'm surprised GP Sheepy didn't have something to say with all those mentions of chevrons 🙂
I love data, but find the zwift sidebar, menu and interface generally way to confusing. All these tiny features are a distraction when riding imo
where the orange jersey represents pro cyclists, green jerseys represent pro triathletes. Pro runners are a pink-ish vest. there are also jerseys for KOM/QOM holder and sprint leaders, which last for an hour or until they are bettered
Until they are bettered or you don't match your effort. I learned that one when I repeated a climb and didn't match my KOM effort and the KOM jersey disappeared. 🤷 I mean, I still had the fastest time at the time! Oh, well.
Thanks for this Shane. Very helpful. I do have a question about the number of Zwifters in the Event or on the Current Map, assuming not in an event, is that number based on riders within a certain range (distance)? or the entire map?
Maybe add the explanation for Leader's Jersey (as well as sprint or KOM) about the arrow on it. What does it mean when the arrow is on or off...
Beatty reb streching physics truths everyday
..... not following... but ok.
Let me know when you get to Colorado Shane.
I often see different coloured jerseys, green, polka dot (even yellow I think) and others next to riders who don't appear to have done anything remarkable to get such jerseys. I presume that the game resets old records every day or something allowing new jerseys to be issued. Any clues as to how that works and what the full list of jerseys are?
whats the black triangle with white bits in it
Hi Shane, i have apple TV 4th gen,with 3rd gen remote. My issue is i cannot get access to submenus(individual workout selection) within the main Zwift menu,does the original 4th gen/4k remote have access to select workouts?Thanks Johnny
i cant make sense of the elevation profile on the map, every time i think i understand it i hit a climb i thought i was leaving...
thanks. now what's missing - ; clear notification of sprint point, can't see little green line when in large groups big oversight for a virtual game where it would be easy to pop up a banner i.e. 'sprint start in 200 metres for example' (can't expect to memorize every course). Event name and current course if in group ride. mini map - what are they trying to do here? Yes you can see where you are relative to others, but the cryptic little logos whatda????, on a climb, still looks flat, no elevation/distance to go. guess I expect information on the level of what I access on my Wahoo/Gamin/Hammerhead display. In fact, why not have a virtual cycle computer that could be customized and displayed.
I've seen a orange jersey that has an Arrow that is pointing back towards its tail.
Please explain Shane
Orange jerseys are usually given for segments that are longer than sprints, such as laps and routes (i.e. Hilly Loop in Watopia and the Flatland Loop in Makuri). The arrow means that the rider is now riding in the opposite direction to the direction they earned the jersey in. The arrow is sort of wonky and also sometimes appears when the rider takes a turn along a route.
Eric should have also shown how members in a meetup are given a color to differentiate from those not in the meetup. (is that still a thing?)
Thank you for this, one additional question is there anyway to enlarge the top right hand box or to show the elevation changes more than just the small shadow along the bottom of this box? TIA
There's no way to customise the display like that within Zwift. :(
Does anyone know why the % gradient changes color when I'm riding? Sometimes it will be white, then yellow and often orange.
What’s boost mode?

@@gplama Thanks, I’ve not taken part in any races for a while but I think I’d definitely avoid any events with this feature!
I really question the time ahead/behind on hills. It seems to be way off.
The leaders jersey sometimes has a curved arrow and sometimes not...what is the significance of the arrow?
if you see the curved arrow it means - its the same (sprint, climbers) jersey just in the Reverse course direction that you are traveling
Question, during a KOM or Sprint section there is a pop up that will be in the left side. At the very bottom there are various colored dots. Do these mean anything?
They're all the different timed segments (sprints, KOMs, etc) on the world you're in. You can click on them (mouse or touchscreen) to scroll through them.
Zwift need to get some new content in for poor shane having to make vids on this
Is there a way to minimize the sidebar, Shane?
On touch screens you can swipe it away.
I really miss time gap to the next group up the road if you're in a big chasing group. It's not really interesting or useful to know that all the peeps riding around me have a time gap of 0:00 to me.
while I do know what the term sandbagging means, Shane sorta skipped right by any explanation of what anti-sandbagging is and how a rider "earns" an anti-sandbagging designation. help, please
This is a deep rabbit hole of... well... ZI have a good overview: zwiftinsider.com/anti-sandbagging-plans/
@@gplama thanks for this explanation. I haven't seen it before, but don't do much racing, so...
I've lost sidebar when WATCHING. How do I get it back? Android.
To the nationality flags there's also the neutral flag for zwifters without their nation filled. There's even one seen on the screenshot.
Whats everyone’s thoughts on Zwift not supporting older iOS and operating systems? Left a bad taste in my mouth. I have an older iPad that I have been running Zwift on since 2018. I don’t have any other system to run Zwift on.
Would there be a way of them doing what Sonos did and leaving the older systems with no more updates but still letting us use the platform?
They either take on the support load of supporting operating systems that the vendors themselves no longer support and live with restrictions on that, or they sunset support for older systems which allows them to do a lot more.
Case in point the older IOS has limits on the size of apps/updates/etc, so supporting older IOS means the majority of users are also impacted. Jump on any forum and you'll see people complaining about Zwift graphics and their lack of development. In the same threads people want support for almost 10 year old OS. There's no pleasing everyone when it comes to technology and progress.
Totally get all that and fully understand. I just think that after paying for Zwift all these years, it would be nice to have an option. In the UK, money is tight with everyone around the cost of living and energy prices. Fitness is the thing that people rely on to escape all of that for a brief period, similar to the lockdowns of 2020/21. I’m not saying it is down to Zwift to fill in for the governments shortcomings, but I do question the timing. Some people are happy with less than optimal graphics and no more updates if it means still having access to the platform. Similar to people being happy with not having the latest Kickr or Neo to get the tiny power reading reliability’s. I suppose the timing is my biggest problem will all of this…cheers Shane
Eric forgot the red sweeper beacon...
Green jersey where the orange jersey is shown should probably be mentioned?
Pro triathletes, iirc?
@@gplama yep, green jersey is pro triathlete.
Shane The Great...Major shareholder and Board member of Zwift Inc...The Community is still waiting to see when will you get a proper job and start contributing for the Australian society...
What are you talking about?
Are we pronouncing zed "zee" these days then? Or is it just for the American audience?
Pronounce it any way you like. It’s usually ‘route’ that triggers people.
@@gplama Yep - we all like a good sweaty route. :)
Okay then if we're throwing the rules out Gippie Lamer it is from now on!
The real question is why would anyone need so much superfluous information displayed in tiny icons while doing a ride? Probably seemed like a good idea 5 years ago.
It provides insight into what's happening (and with who) around you on what is a social platform. Press H to hide all of it, or swipe it off the screen on an touchscreen device.
