Dead Squirrels (Scotty)

General Discussion
1

As a handcyclist, I’ve noticed that the streak flair of Scotty, being in a jersey back pocket, is being suffocated between my avatar’s back and the seat.

That’s rather disappointing given that I like squirrels and don’t want to be suffocating them.

Is there any chance that Zwift could make Scotty, like, not dead for handcyclists? Maybe have Scotty ride on the drafting bar?

Credit where credit is due though, Scotty not being visible to handcyclists does match the fact that handcycles can’t use any of the awarded wheelsets (or I assume any purchased with drops), so there is consistency in how added featured are available to handcyclists.

I appreciate the handcycle but it would be nice to have the features that others get, including not smooshed squirrels.

Cheers
