Q3 2022, the worm will start to turn and new stuff will become actually available
TPC will be done/different 12 to 24 months after. Especially after Mr. Big got killed by a Peloton
For the record, though consumables are spotty, bike demand isn't all that crazy at the moment

whether or not that is a "responsible" business model or not is certainly up for debate, but plenty of companies have done the same under similar conditions. making hay when the sun shines and all of that. this will all slow down and supply chains will sort themselves out and all that, hopefully TPC doesnt face the wrath of rapid irresponsible expansion and wind up holding the bag with more employees than they can pay and more warehouse space then they can afford to pay the rent on, and they wind up in a death spiral.
time will tell.
