Totally new to Zwift and exercise bike riding

The problem with that spin bike is that it isn’t supported by Zwift, so there is no power curve to estimate how many watts you are generating. To understand why that is important, please see this post.

You might be able to rig it up, but it will not be accurate. That might not be important to you however, as long as it works somewhat and you enjoy the time on the bike. I guess that is more important in the long run. Just don’t expect it to be accurate.

For a beginner, I would suggest just riding as much as you can, learn the different routes and worlds, have fun exploring. There is a learning curve to Zwift, take some time to figure all the features out. Check out this 3rd party site for tons of useful info: zwiftinsider.com
