I dont know if it was always given for free with the car. that was at the discretion of the dealer.... I think anyhow.. they were supposed to actively sell them as well..... albeit for horrendeous prices usually ...

Another Mercedes Bike Story
way back ..too long to count the years..... Bike Trade SHow in Philadelpia .. next door neighbor was selling Mercedes bikes ( the cheapest and most laugable MTB around,, hideous... I still cannot see that Mercedes ever allowed to use their name ..... )
Anyhow after the first night ALL bikes were stolen from the MErceds booth .I mean ALL of them .... while right next door there were custom one off from Bilenky and a couple other real cool bikes still standing in their booths.....

I can see the bikes on the streetcorner .. look man I got a Merzedeees Benz..... ...

It was somewhat funny, except for the folks who were trying to sell them at the show.....
