@Brigitte_Nill I read on another thread, that there may be a glitch since the last update. Apparently the big spin wheel doesn’t show sometimes, but it will still show your prize. Not exactly sure where, maybe the companion app. So my guess is you got something that you already recieved. Therefore you just received drops as a prize. Hopefully they sort it out, before your next ride. Cheers
Bah, they should complain loudly, late joining is the most important thing. 
You could get two in if you’re lucky. The really fast types might be rolling through the finish around the half hour mark, right? All you need to do is finish at 29min to be able to rejoin another time 
I agree, I’d expect anything that isn’t a helmet to be usable when running - and vice versa.
I guess you could make a case that the sun visors aren’t something that people wear on bikes, but I usually wear the orange headband - I got to level 3 in running just to unlock that for the bike.
It’d be good to be able to wear running shirts on the bike too. Sometimes people just want a T-shirt ride…

I agree on the T-shirts also, I think at the very least it would be great marketing that this platform has multi-training benefits. For several of us who got the triathlon helmets because we ran, I have seen people ask how we did it. We tell them to get a treadmill! For the runners who want headphones or other swag - get a bike! I get asked about my rearview mirror glasses all the time when I run with them. I wish the mirrors on those gave an actual rear view.
I would accept some basic chamois for being able to wear a running T-shirt while I ride.

I can open a store selling all the useless socks I have from these events.
Fortunately I have not be riding them daily. Outdoor riding a real bike was a lot more interesting and enjoyable.
There isn’t any correlation but A and B events and what you get on the spinner. I did a B event fast yesterday and late joined A after it and got the stupid London kit which I’ll never use.
I’m surprised Zwift hasn’t put any trisuits in for the triathletes who love to put [Tri whatever] at the end of their name.

Seems best way is to late join at 27 minutes or 29 minutes (3 or 1 minutes remaining) then sprint like mad. People are reporting you can be dropped practically at the finish line.
I just had two spins in less than 10 minutes.
It is becoming a bit silly, people are more interested in the late join hacks than the ride itself.
people in glass houses…

I just figured everyone else is using the hacks so I might as well see what the fuss is about.
I didn’t expect it was possible to late just a few to five minutes before the cut-off then to be placed just a few kms just before the finish line and get the spinner. And then go and late join again and get the spinner a second time.
I did that once. I signed up for a ride and realized it was only 29 minutes into the last event. I rode about 2km in my pajamas and slippers at 1W/kg. VICTORY!

This is simply not true…

I was in a big late join group this morning when I tried the hack, even with a pro rider in that group.
All of 2.58km with 3m:43sec to get the spinner, then another 5.91km with 9m:54sec with most of the same people (a good 20 or so).
You can say it’s not everyone but it’s certainly a lot.
NY will definitely prevent it being fairly slow and a longer route.

Is it really a Hack if you are following the advertised rules?
Probably a hack if you just sit on your sofa, join at 29minutes and use pedal assist and coast to cross the line - no bike required !!
Wow, you exactly described what I did.
I guess it’s a hack.
Still no badge for NYC KOM, right?
If you go by the internet to figure out what a ‘hack’ is these days, just turning the knob on my oven to make it get hot is a hack.
“This one hack to heat your oven to insane temps!”

I have a question about the event - i signed up for the big spin round 3 yesterday but couldn’t get around to it. Today, looking through the events in the companion app, it is not presenting any options for the Big Spin – but I haven’t done the third ride yet… Is this a bug or do I have to remove an event if I do not start the ride?
Thanks
They should be showing, they’re still happening and missing an event isn’t meant to hide subsequent rides of that event.
Have you double checked that you haven’t got any filters on the event list?
should all be there check your don’t have any filters set and try a force restart of the companion app.
You can also signup in game they start at 15 past the hour
