the other "cost" is also figuring all that out. doing research, knowing your options, etc.
I was looking a lot at all this, as I was pretty keen on Zwift, and then i finally just threw my hands up, realised i couldn't be bothered, and just bought a peloton.
Curious, what part of Zwift did you find confusing?
The set-up is dead simple. You need a stationary bike of some sort, usually with some sort of BT speed or power sensor. Pair that to pretty much any standard tablet or laptop, run the Zwift software, and off you go.
Slightly less "auto-magic" than Peloton, but nothing particularly confusing either.
