DroppedRider Posted January 27 Share Went to the local bike shop today to go and buy tubes for my road bike. Came with my 4 year old. Was meant to go in and out. While I was walking to the till to pay for my tubes my eyes shifted a bit to left as I saw something shiny but quickly lowered my gaze. You will not believe what happened next! The owner had the audacity to bring that shiny carbon road bike in front of me and spent 30 minutes showing me all it's features! He was so rude he even let me test ride it outside. Worst is his son came out and brought a matching kids bike for my 4 year old. Both of them even followed me to my car and then helped me load the bikes in my car. I am now in the doggie box with the wifey as I was caught trying to hide the bike in between the fleet of the other 5 bikes. Please hubbers I highly recommend wearing your sun glasses in the local bike shop so that you do not get caught out like me.
