I kinda thought that it legitimized the concept of riding to work - I kinda liked how the guy was such a proper rider. It's progress, if minimal, if it's even broached that somebody would deck themselves out and tool on it. Somebody might look at it and say, "hey, it's off the wall, but I could *do* that!"

This might be a good time to ask State Farm and others why they don't sell insurance for cyclists. I paid more for my new bike a couple of months ago than I paid for my first new car (when I was young!. I would love to pay a few bucks a month to insure my bike so if it's stolen or damaged I get real replacement money and not that worthless "just put it on your homeowners insurance" retort crap we all know about.

No kidding... If I could insure my bike, i'd be willing to drop $1K on a nice Surly, instead of the $225 I just paid for a VERY used (But in good condition) TREK....

So about this commercial....what about the one with the cyclist that is in full gear with the helmet an all where the kids are making fun of him, saying he looks ridiculous. Only for him to respond "Yeah, but I'm fast."

Which again the kids respond saying he looks ridiculous.

To me that commercial was hilarious. I think it was a comcast commercial too, was anyone offended by that one?

Time Warner out here. Used to live in an area with mediacom, they offended me often: Called me a stupid monkey, and a dog I think. Okay, they didn't literally say that, but it was well implied in their commercial that their customers were monkeys.
