Equipment choices
I think it would be in keeping with the goals of TPVirtual to have equipment choices. In real life, equipment choice is very important and impacts my race results. The bike i would choose in order to be competitive in flat TT race would be very different from what I would choose for a climbing race. Equipment must be bought IRL so perhaps a way to 'earn' it within the game would make sense? Regardless of whether it's considered a 'gamification' I think we should be able to have a 'garage' and some way to accumulate various equipment that we can choose for our rides.

As my suggestion has been merged with this one. I would like to make it clear that I only want a couple of other bikes for visual purposes. I don't want to have to earn them or gamify the app or make it pay to play.
Just effectively some skins with no performance advantages but more personality to the avatars. I see someone else has ask for an MTB which seems valid too.
Leave pay to win to zwift.

as the tiles says. Update or add an up-to-date looking bike with disc brakes and aero frame. The rim brake can stay as a climbing looking bike and also maybe add a TT bike that isn't able to draft.
Would help with the overall look of the game without wholesale new graphics

Could you please add a mountain bike as a frame option. Millions of us do not have virtual mtb options available. Thanks

For free riding and aesthetics I love this. For races, dislike, as they should rest on your legs and tactics, not what equipment you can "afford".
