Hi there, How do I give “Ride Ons” during workout mode? I see lots of them popping up around me, but I cannot find the Ride On button on any of the companion app screens. Very frustrating… Also, on a Mac, is there a keyboard shortcut for giving Ride Ons? Thanks! ---

Sadly you can’t give ride on’s during a workout. ☹ Please Zwift let us give ride on’s during a workout please. We will still train hard but in recovery we would like to say good job and ride on to the guys and girls around us. ---

I give ride ons all the time in workout mode using the companion app. ---

yeah you can - you can click on the little pop up icon when it appears or use the mobile link ---

What pop up icon? On the computer screen? What mobile link are you talking about? Where about on the companion app during a workout do you see an option for giving Ride Ons? ---

Open the companion app, go to ‘game’ - \> ‘zwifters near me’, then tap a name and hit the ride on button ---

That is not really the same as just clicking on the screen next to the persons name or on the circle on the map. It is really hard to give ride on’s in workout mode. ---

I agree it’s not the same. Nonetheless I explained how I do it with the companion app which is what you asked me to do. Thanks. ---

when someone gives you a ride on a little icon appears by their name, it also happens when they do something good (finish a workout, beat a 30 day record etc). sorry - I meant the companion app - Jeremy has explained below 😀 ---

Just to update this thread. In workout mode on companion app, click map and select your circle and an option to send likes appears. It sends ride ons to the nearest 5 riders. ---

It does not work that way on my Companion app. What circle? I tried all the circles I could find and no such options appeared. Actually, nothing happened or appeared ---

Have you tried on the map screen in the Companion app? Make sure you are not in the most zoomed-out view and there should be a circle around your rider arrow. Tap that circle. ---

It’s the little white circle around the arrow on the map showing your current location, in the middle. Tap it and it’ll send Ride Ons to the 5 nearest riders. Not sure about the “option to send Ride Ons” - mine (Android) doesn’t do anything like that, it just sends Ride Ons when you tap it. ---

I can’t believe this is still non-functional in 2024. I’m already interacting with the app on my Mac. Don’t make me open the companion app on my phone just to give a Ride On during a workout. This is stupid, Zwift.
