Buy a phone, get a bike.

I was holding back posting this until I actually had the bike in my possession. Well, now it's official - I got a free bike because I bought a new phone. Pretty unbelievable stuff. Why would someone do this? I guess it's because the phone can act as a cycle computer (as well as a phone, surprise surprise). So I guess Siemens figured that it would be a real waste to spend all that time and effort developing the phone if no one actually used it for its intended purpose. Whatever the case, I now have a free (but crusty of course) mountain bike. Posted by Hello

Dude. That looks like (as you so eloquenty put it when we were discussing bikes) a "I'm a Christian because I wasn't born a Muslim" mountain bikes. Am I right? Oh well, I suppose you can't look a gift - horse in the mouth now can you? Anyway its bound to feul your ridiculous addiction to your own endorphins 'cos now you can go for cycles and get exercise that way. Kiff posts recently. I dig the photies. Keep them coming...

Jaa, it is one of those fence-sitting mountain bikes, but you can't hope for anything more when it's free!

Just a thought - can one do a cycle safari around Taiwan (ie are there roads/good tracks right along the coastline)? Let me know. Our group, just back from Little Karoo, might enjoy an exotic challenge for next year...please be our cycling tour leader!

Hmmm. Good question, Recycler. I don't know but I'll endeavour to find out.
