I love cycling but struggle with stationary bikes because I get bored easily or end up slowing down my pace because I zone out watching/listening to something. Zwift has pace partners that you can chase (3 different ones depending on pace) that have sucked me into riding harder and longer than I ever have on zwift or a stationary bike. I find it's worth it for that experience. Clips take some getting used to (3-4 rides where it feels a bit odd) but I've learned to love them and it feels odd whenever I ride without. I'd strongly encourage you to try them out if you're riding this much. For context, I used to ride everywhere in sandals and everything changed once I got my clips.
