Trade-In Your Clunker Car For A Shiny New Bike?
Would you go through with a deal like this one offered locally in my area?
"......The folks at Santa Monica Mountains Cyclery in Woodland Hills (CA) have a solution for the ever rising cost of filling your gas tank: Trade your car for a bike. Literally......This week, the Woodland Hills bike shop has teamed up with Vista Ford Lincoln to offer a promotion that lets drivers trade in their old clunkers and get a shiny, brand-new two-wheeler instead......It's probably the most fuel-efficient type of transportation out there.....Still, there hasn't been any takers yet, though quite a few calls have come in with some interest.....We'll take anything. It doesn't even have to run," Sweeney said.....Customers can pick out a new bike at the cyclery -- which features a giant flat-screen TV, leather club chairs and an espresso maker, not to mention some sweet two-wheeled rides -- then head over the Ford dealership. They'll trade in their cars, get a check and head back to the bike shop. Any leftover money goes back to the customer.....Purchase options range from a $480 Trek 3500 entry-level mountain bike to a $11,000 custom-made carbon-fiber Colnago C59 road bike......Santa Monica Mountains Cyclery's Trade Your Car for a Bicycle promotion lasts through Sunday......"-
