Maybe I’m just not seeing it, but it appears to me that the Zwift Play ride on bomb will only give ride ons to riders riding in the same direction I am. The companion app seems to prioritize riders on my side of the road, but will give ride ons to riders going the other direction.

Still can’t do it from a keyboard though.

What about returning a ride on with the controllers? I get a message to press Z but it does not seem to work. I tried to press while the message is still on the screen and when it’s not. If I long press, it give a bomb ride on.

In reply to Jeff. Jeff, on my android phone the controllers connect to the companion app (be sure to allow discovery of devices) which is on the same wifi network as my zwift machine (windows pc).

In reply to Tom. I have the same issue and have responded with feedback (several times) asking for an option to disable the audible "Ride On" with a ride on bomb.

What I find annoying is that the Zwift Play controller initiated Ride On bomb also triggers the sound “Ride On” every time, which is not the case with the ZCA initiated Ride On bomb.

I alternate between them every few seconds. I do a ride bomb with Play, wait a few seconds then companion app, then play, ect.
I do find the Play has a lag of a second or so as it powers up (circle fills). Harder to get riders coming the opposite way.

Sadly even after being onto Zwift Support for over an hour, I was unable to get my Zwift controllers to pair. Says too many devices. My android phone does not allow me to pair devices directly so either a new phone in the hope that works or will be returned.
