Drives me crazy after 5 yrs and 26,000kms Zwifting when in a group ride or otherwise when someone gives me a ride on there isn’t an easy way to give a ride on back. I have to search the riders nearby or use “find Zwifters” and using the companion app can be tricky when cycling. I Would suggest if I …

I was trying to find this “trick” during this AM’s ride – ty! I’ll try it tomorrow.

That’s great for free riding but what if you’re in an event with 100 or more riders? Do you just keep smashing that little circle as the peloton evolves?

The circle trick does not work in events (only the leader has that ability). That is why we are asking to make it easier.
