Development backlog

Here are some plans and ideas to add articles and features to the tools on this site. Please feel free to add suggestions or priorities in the comments.

Route pages

  • Complete the route pages for Watopia
  • Add routes in Makuri
  • Add other Zwift routes
  • Add an option to the route time calculator to vary power along the route and optimize pacing
  • Add more Zwift bikes and wheelsets? So far I only added a small selection which for me is enough to chose the right compromise between aero and weight.

Calculation tools

  • Modify CdA estimation to account for rider size (height+weight) for IRL speed/power calculation
  • Add option to compare different inputs such as power or bike position
  • Add cookies to let user store their last setting of rider height, weight, power etc. Is this useful?

Articles

  • Basic explanation of influence of aerodynamics, weight, rolling resistance on speed
  • How much speed is a weight reduction of 1 kg worth?
  • Comparison of different bike types / postions on aerodynamics
  • Are aerodynamics significant when climbing?
  • How to pace for optimal speed on varying / rolling courses
  • How to ride in a fast paceline / team time trial
  • How much energy does drafting actually save?
  • How do Zwift physics compare to the real world
  • Are wider tyres faster?
