Default Hey, can you believe this?

Every day, this guy parks his Toyota Landcruiser outside our house, gets a bike out the back and cycles to work. He comes back in the evening, packs his bike away and drives off. Now that is what I call dual fuel!...

.... reminds me of the guy who lived on the 20th Floor of a High Rise and every night he came home, he took the lift to the 15th Floor and walked the remaining 5 floors ........

Turned out he was a midget

seems like he is being "eco friendly" I would just say get a car, not a landrover.

Hmmm.

Perhaps he gets a pay benefit if he is seen to be cycling to work, saving the environment.

He probably works just around the corner

Hadn't thought of that one!

I just cannot see how he justifies driving that monster just to transport his bike to within 3 miles of the city centre! Of course, parking is free here too.

Some people have to do a certain amount of exercise and they get free gym membership from their work. When I was a lifeguard i was asked to watch then sign something to say she had done a certain amount ot lengths. So maybe he can get free membership and the proof is that he is riding into work.

... or it could just be he's a mean old buggar and doesn't want to pay the parking fees.

I bet he boasts at work ... what a healthy guy he is too and lives 20 miles away etc.
