A South African man tried to sell his ex-girlfriend on Gumtree after she broke up with him.

The scorned boyfriend – from Cape Town in South Africa – was so furious about being dumped that he sold his exes phone number on the web marketplace along with a bicycle she had made him buy, reports The Mirror newspaper.

He wrote alongside the advert of the bike: “I’ll throw in size 9 specialized shoes… along with the ex’s phone number if you ever feel like being taken for a ride”

He added: “She dumped me and I hate cycling. I’ve used in twice since I bought it. Apparently it’s quite a good bike.
