Anyone see the Visa commercial last night? Kind of neat.

An overweight guy is riding on a fully equipped commuter bike and is in a bike race passing the roadies and handing out stuff to them. I had a dream just like that once!

Were you the fat guy or one of the roadies?

Doesn't really matter. It's embarassing either way. :o

Yeah, I saw it a couple days ago on HGTV. Some heavy guy is riding his MTB with a cooler bungee corded to the rear rack. He's passing all the roadies in the peloton and handing out drinks. Pretty funny.

I thought it was an some high speed internet access commercial. Maybe AOL or some broadband / DSL supplier. "High speed for everyone" or something like that.

I was the fat guy.

I don't think it is a modified mountain bike--it had fenders and a bell. Not sure what it was, really.
