Bowflex C6 compatibility

but it would be nice to ride in the appropriate group and not be forced to ride in a group above my ability level or at the least ride without getting harassed.

It’s not your fault, it is the inaccurate power readings from your spin bike. The Bowflex is the same bike as the Schwinn IC4, check out this thread: Schwinn IC4 - #90 by Andrew_Goss

You really shouldn’t be using this for racing at all due to the inaccuracies. You are being accused of “cheating” because the bike is giving you super powers. It is fine for group rides, workouts and free rides, but I would stay out of racing. As you can imagine, some people take the virtual racing pretty seriously and want to only compete against others that have fair, accurate power readings.

I have become very aware that Zwift and Bowflex seem to go together like oil and water, it would just have been nice to know that ahead of time.

I think this blame falls on Schwinn/Bowflex as they are the only ones stating the bikes work with Zwift… which on a very basic level they do… but are very inaccurate (they conveniently leave that part out).
