Feeling a little bit special.

[Mr Haematocrit]

Today I got a nice card in the post reading... "We thank you tons for your support in riding with our brand and being part of the specialized family" and attached to the card was a purist water bottle.
Nothing major but I really appreciate the gesture and the fact that Specialized do not take my custom for granted.

Nice one specialized

That's a nice touch, but no Haribo

Even Wiggle don't send me Haribo.
Last time I purchased from Wiggle they gave me a damn Wiggle Honda Jersey

I know, WTF happened to the Wiggle Haribo.
V funny in a senior management office and one of us four cyclists' sheer joy, not of having their latest bike related purchase, but the little pack of Haribo... Now gone forever

I am the special and happy one .....

Altura knee warmers and an extra Garmin mount

First purchase from Wiggle the other day and I got myself a packet of Haribo

Being my first purchase it was slightly unexpected.... I was wary of eating them initially

 

[Kies]

Keep them in the saddle bag for the next big ride

Keep them in the saddle bag for the next big ride

But I already ate them

Oh well... gives me an excuse to buy something else from Wiggle.... even though they cost pence from the corner shop.

So where's my free bottle?!? Or is it only the S-Works elite who are 'family'

Not if it has dodgy gelatine in it and eventually gives you some horrible Prion Disease!

I believe its random acts of kindness against people who have registered their bikes. its not cost effective to send every owner in the world a bottle, so I guess they pull winners from a hat.
First ever bottle I have received though, but it came with a hand written note, which meant a lot as its shows its not a mass PR stunt with no soul.

You might get lucky, you might not.
Then again if you have a few bikes the odds of getting pulled must increase.
