Episode notes

Speaker 2

So on the cardio end, right last year, when we were having our conversation, I was telling you like, oh, you know what I like to get? I like to get a van move bike. Yeah. Yeah. And you were pushing like so hard in the episode of like, you know, tempting me like the devil like gray by this expensive van move bike. And you basically pushed me over the edge and I was like, okay, I'm going to do it. I'm going to treat myself. And then two days later, you messaged me and you were like, don't buy the bike because they're going bankrupt. Yeah. Yeah. They went bankrupt. They're back

Speaker 1

again though. Are

Speaker 2

they back again? Are you kidding me? Okay.

Speaker 1

Okay. So van move, they went out of business and the longest short of it is they had too much stock and they weren't selling enough of it. I feel like they may have made the mistake that many businesses like Peloton made and they thought that the pandemic business that they had would be the same forever. So van move went bankrupt and then what was what usually happens is things. A company came in and bought van move and they've actually, I think recently, redesigned some of their bikes. So van move bikes are back again.

Speaker 2

Ah, you're complicating my life so much.

Speaker 1

I don't know if they're good though. Like I know that the old ones are always considered good. So maybe it's worth looking into the new ones, but they're

Speaker 2

back again. Okay. Because now I'm looking on their website, which I just assumed was good to 404, but it doesn't. So they're like, hey, we have these brand new redesigned bikes. Okay. So I was going to say, like I ended up not making that purchase and then just being sad for a while. Right. Because there was nothing to buy. And then we roll over into like, then it became winter, which is not a great time to buy a bike. And then the last six months of my life have been totally derailed. And I was like, no, no, it's summer time's coming up. Like I'm going to buy a bike. But the thing that I was going to have to ask you is I was trying to find like, what is the best replacement for a van move bike. And I think I've found it, which is a company called cowboy bikes, which exist in the UK. And they feel very much like this is the van move replacement. But I wanted to just flag it up to ask you, like, you haven't heard anything about this company going bankrupt, have you? I've never heard of this company

Speaker 1

at all. And yeah, these look very much like that move bikes. I mean, honestly though, like, if you liked what van move did before, maybe it's worth looking at them again, because they still have like the five my integration and all that stuff. And I think their new ones are even more attracted than their old ones.
