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."

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!
