So this morning was the Orange free bike giveaway in Covent Garden, where I decided to try and get a free mountain bike at 7:30 this morning. This is the information I got.

However I missed out by four people! That’s right, they got to four people in front of me and ran out of tickets that you exchange for the free bikes. I was a little gutted, more so for being so close, but a few other details add to the frustration – especially the fact that I meant to be 15 minutes earlier than I was, which would have made the difference, and secondly a few more than four people definitely pushed into the queue JUST ahead of me…

It’s annoying, but that’s the way it is. More free stuff tomorrow night though, when I attend the excellent sounding Chinwag Big Summer 07. This event has free beer and barbecue – much better than any bike!!
