I think it's a really cunty gimmick. Yet another bandwagonload of square tossers trying to cash in on something that's nothing to do with them, appropriating it and rendering it shit. Ooh, aren't we funny cooking up a bike we wouldn't actually insure when we're an insurance company? Well of course really we're just marketing.
Charge have had to be involved in this at some point though they are barely mentioned - but at least they make the frickin bike. But it's all about the insurance company, who even appropriate not-for-profit status and the environment in order to market themselves.
If this bike were a human it would be a twelve-year-old virgin being paraded round naked on a silver tray at a society orgy.
The article is written so badly and so lazily that I feel like emailing someone. Noone has had time to spend three minutes checking over all the mistakes and yet an entire morning has been wasted cobbling together a photoshoot involving a grown man wearing a sticker.
There must be a thousand out-of-work writers who could come up better copy but Sophia Diogos gets the gig cos she's so far up her arse she thinks she's actually got talent enough to be a hack. Go back to your trust fund, Sophia, and stop butchering the English language in public.
I haven't gone on the Oxford ride today due to neck and knee problems and I guess it's coming out. Feel genuinely sorry for the mug being the security guard, though, either he's massively down on his luck or he's one of the ETA marketing bell-ends and thinks it's all a big wheeze.
This country.
