Gumtree bike ad.pngDumped man sells his bike - and his girlfriend - on Gumtree
A rather peeved victim of a dumping has taken to Gumtree to sell his bike - along with the girlfriend who he says ‘took him for a ride’.
The South African says he is selling his Specialized road bike which his ex - who was into cycling - encouraged him to buy.
He wrote: "Bought this bike because my girlfriend was into cycling.
"She dumped me and I hate cycling. I've used in twice since I bought it. Apparently it's quite a good bike.
"I'll throw in some size 9 specialized shoes for good measure along with the ex's phone number if you ever feel like being taken for a ride."

Obviously a Telegraph reader who thinks inflation must be around 15% since "Liebour" got into power.

Fair point, but the headline is misleading. Think of all the poor, sad buggers that have signed up to Gumtree only to find that they couldn't buy his ex-girlfriend!
It's the silly season, let's not take the 'news' seriously
He's not really selling his (ex-)girlfriend, though, is he? You don't work for the Daily Mail by any chance?
Seeing as he's South african perhaps she dumped him b4 she got shot!
poor...
Funny though!
Nice bike, can u post a picture of the ex and I may make u an offer
Well Rory McIIroy dumped his girl and never looked back, should have given the bike a second chance though.
If I don't want her phone number can I have a 10% discount?
You brought a bike because the missus told you too even though you don't like cycling. Grow some balls dude.
Dude ain't never gonna get that lucky again his entire life.
Oh dear - size 9 shoes? I think I may have an idea where the problems lay...
Stupid man, saying he would give his exs number!
I see she had a good reason to dump him. He should just get over it and move on
doesn't like cycling?
Think she was right!
