But it’s also got a few people for whom £2000 is worth it not to have to faff with Zwift, unreliable turbo trainers or gym membership.

Yep, but there's not 46m of them!

It's only "worth" that much in stock valuation.

I love the hype in these situations. It’s a bit like this Forestal bikes thing on the front page. “Biggest bike company you’ve never heard of” despite never shipping a unit. It’s all about PR, build support and increase corporate value.

I always thought the biggest company most people hadn’t heard of was some bike builder like Merida but it seems not.

Strange days.

Could I interest anyone in some tulips?

And some land in Panama to grow them on.

The FOMO is strong in Wall St at the moment. They'll get burned again soon enough and we'll all have to pick up the pieces (Again).

CFH has it.  It is clearly worth it but not to me or anyone I know

I think ‘trendy’. Well targeted ads, celeb endorsements, at the absolute peak of value right now.
But like any and every indoor in-the-home exercise equipment, interest will wane, something else will come along for those types that follow trends (Fitbit anyone) and eBay will be overrun with static bikes with a tablet attached in a year or so.
They’re doing a jogging machine next! 😂

Massively over valued.

I’m not a big runner but do have a treadmill for occasional winter use. I’ve only just realised you only need a 30 quid footpod to run on zwift so I’m going to give it a go. Again, it’s 30 quid not 2 grand!

Ben's smashed it. I work in the industry and if one made a splash and I missed, it'd be me on the block.

That being said, this is a dud.

Haven't they just been landed with a $300m lawsuit for the unlicensed use of music?
