I would agree Andrew. That is awesome. Sadly I’m away working, so I have to just imagine what it would be like, to have a pocket Scotty 
One of the comments in the Zwift Insider article about this was “Can I keep him?”
Here’s Eric’s reply: “Funny you should ask… watch this space!”
You left out the part where someone else also asked if they could buy one for real…
Put a zipper on his back and let me stuff my minipump and spare TPU tube in it! 
I saw it was a key ring, and went right in too the shop to see if they put it plushie squirrel there.
and i realised, it was an Aprils fool, they got me 
I still want one 
Need more tasty chipmunks 
We don’t have chipmunks in the UK, the red squirrels must have eaten them all before the grey ones came over.
Zwift, I will pay several million drops if I can have this in my kit permanently.
On the topic of squirrels. I did not know that red squirrels kill chipmunks. I’m gonna look that up…
I live in SE Michigan in the shitty USA, and here we have chipmunks living in harmony with grey, red, and black squirrels. I have all four of these rodents in my neighborhood.
But isn’t Scotty an ORANGE squirrel? 
Eric Schlenge of Insider teased “watch this space” about being able to have one… so my estimation is we might get it as a level upgrade potentially???
Which, yeah, I’m all for little pocket buddies.
It genuinely is a nice avatar customization option!
I can think of a handful of other choices as well:
Same!! Hope they come out with a Scotty the squirrel key ring
Hey all - we’re so glad you love Pocket Scotty! This is a fun bit of flair that you can keep going by riding each week and keeping your Ride Streak alive.
Read our Streak Flair blog to learn the details.
Anyway to turn it off or do I miss 1 week in 4 going forward?
Explained in the linked blog post
Yes! It’s defaulted off in your game settings, so you’ll need to choose whether to enable it for your own avatar. You will see other people’s pocket flair, though.
Fair point, I didnt scroll that far down..
