THE NATURE OF THE CRUISER

What you need to understand is that cruisers are narcissists. Torn between self-hate and self-adoration, we desperately need to shine somehow, or our egos will implode. Not being good for much else, it will have to be Zwift where we shine. And we can shine by using you.  We don't really care that your race experience is ruined by the likes of us. In fact, that thought may not even have crossed our minds. And we don't care that you are a paying subscriber like us.  That is not to say that you are not important. On the contrary, you are hugely important. You just need to understand your role in this. You are instrumental. You are very useful. We use you to gratify ourselves. You should be thankful that you get to race with us. Rather than pushing ourselves hard in the next category, as to perhaps one day reach the top there too, or pushing hard just for the sake of it, for the challenge, we prefer to be a big fish in a small pond. We stay behind and keep winning in our little po...

WAYS OF CHEATING IN ZWIFT

Have you ever participated in a Zwift race and had that sinking feeling that someone, or maybe several other riders, were actually cheating. Chances are you were right. Because cheaters like me exist for real. We come in many forms and sizes. I will go through the most common forms of cheating below, so you know what you should look out for in case you didn't already. Hackers A hacker will manipulate either hardware or software, or both, to gain an unfair advantage. On rare occasions when freeriding you can see somebody zoom past you at superhuman speed and W/kg. Such blatant hacking is very rare in races. If it happens, or rather, to the extent it happens, it is going to be far more subtle. Why expose yourself that much as when going 20 W/kg as it is only going to get you DQ'd, if not for hacking then for going over the set W/kg limits in any race category (no, you couldn't get away with it even in A+). I am not going to point you in any direction, but if you google around...

INTRODUCTION

Hello fellow Zwifters! Let us get properly introduced. I am Zwiftcruiser, your average Zwift cruiser. I live in Sweden. I like to ride my bike and to eat icecream. I like the color blue. Red is OK too. A cruiser is a special form of cheater in Zwift races. Does that mean that I am a cheater? Yes, it does! And you should be one too! There are many ways to cheat in Zwift, but I will consistently use one single method alone to cheat indiscriminately in order to get podium placings. I do so supported by Zwift race rules and ZwiftPower race rules. As you see me line up next to you at the warmup before a race, I am out to steal your legitimate win and will try my best to do so. I saved a hammer just for you! Why do I cheat? What is my motivation? You are going to have to figure that out yourself. Or create your own hypothetical explanation. In a sense, it really doesn't matter anyway. The only thing that matters is that I still  can cheat, and some would say there is absolutely nothing y...
