Bikes in adverts

[mickle]

There seems to be a glut of adverts featuring bicycles in them at the moment, either in the background or as part of the 'story' including ads for Shell, Made in Dagenham, (ironically) Vauxhall and Renault, Zurich, Amazon. Can you name any more?

During one break last week nearly all of the ads featured bikes. What's going on?

Which is the advert with the cool-looking red Lego MTB? Is that the Zurich ad?

If the ad men think it is because we are all hip and cool and green, they obviously need to do a bit more research.

pipped me to it.

I've seen three car ads now with bikes in them. One with the velodrome stuff going on, one with an old git climbing a mountain scent in some grey kit, and another with a 4x4 where the rider and car are on a mountain - a hand comes in and twists the mountain so its nigh on impossable for the cyclist and th driver tears off. Charming.

Bikes in car adverts are stupid imo. I've already noted on here that car ads have become daft of late..

Perhaps we need to see cars in bike adverts.

We could start with one of mag's filtering vids.

S1 jobs - featuring Danny McAskill going to work via various parts of Edinburgh & Glasgow while performing tricks. It looks like he ends up at the old Abbey National office in St Vincent Street, Glasgow.

True, are we excluding regional adverts?

I really would love to find a way to get my second filter video to more people. It certainly makes you think.

Not at all.

Hopefully that cycling is becoming more trendy? (Even if it is only for leisure cycling )
