Companion App - RideOn "bomb" Button

Feature Requests

Like most Zwifters I enjoy giving Ride On’s. :+1:

When I started Zwifting, I noticed in Pacer Group rides that multiple Ride On’s were given at once, but didn’t know how it was done.

I looked throughout the Desktop app options and through the Companion app, but couldn’t find anything that would indicate how to do this, so I assumed, initially, it was just my imagination. After searching a bit I found that it was referred to as a “Ride On Bomb” and how to do it.

Sniping the little circle, while trying to keep pace, is not my forte. I average 1 out of 4, maybe 1 out of 3 on a good day. Zooming in also doesn’t :musical_notes: make the circle bigger :musical_note:.

Can we please make the Ride On Bomb a button, rather? Here’s my very crude attempt at where I think the button would fit right in:

  1. It is more visible.
  2. It is more clear what it is and does.
  3. It will be easier to tap.
  4. It can have the same design and cooldown mechanic as the PowerUp button.
  5. This should be (hopefully) quick and easy to do.
  6. It neatly rounds out the empty space of the upper elements.

Please give a Ride On Bomb (Vote) for this idea! :+1::tada::folded_hands:

if you have play or click controllers or the Zwift Ride frame, it already is a button.

I think a better idea is make the button dual purpose.

You simultaneously give the ride on to 5 riders closest to you while actually “bombing” anyone clinging to you on a Coffee break so you drop them.
