The bike shop in Cerulean City was far too cruel. Dangling a faster way of getting around the world in front of us like that, only to snatch it away and demand a ridiculous amount of money. All Pokémon trainers walked out of the store, sadly thinking about how long it would take up to save all that sweet sweet money.
However, our dreams came true when the Chairman of the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermillion City gave us a bike voucher for free! All the guy wanted was for someone to listen to him talk about his favorite Pokémon. Handing in that bike voucher and finally having a sweet pair of wheels to explore the world of Kanto was one that most trainers will never forget. Finally, we could speed along the lengthy bicycle path like all the other cool kids.
