Yeah. I love the movie, I'm pulling another absurd shift...25 hours straight, so i think I might pop in Office Space and enjoy it while I sit here and do a bunch of nothing.

Good news!!
Both the Hummer H2 and the Ford "Freestyle" allow you to participate in an active lifestyle.
The commercials show them carrying bicycles.....Thats it, I'm going out and buying one! Thank god these vehicles can carry bikes, now I can start riding.

Nice one...As for TV spots with bicycles prominently featured, I can think of 2:
- New Mexico Tourism board (you can see it here: https://www.newmexico.org/index2.php - click on "new video" button).
- Michelob Ultra has the aforementioned bike race spot - that's a pretty cool ad IMO.

Canon copiers.
Does anyone wonder why we notice them? Does the rest of the population really care???
Edit: Just saw one in a UPS commercial.
Edit again (Gosh, I watch too much TV): Canon cameras

I think there's one for a prescription cream for genital herpes. I kid you not.
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Krusty gets canceled and he says to the producer of an ad for a hemorroids cure: I can be the "After" guy. Hey! I can ride a bike again!"

I just saw one where they have a bunch of guys out on a ride and they're talking to one of them,but I missed most of it, so I don't know what it was for! Some kind of food maybe. One thing I notice is that cyclists in ads usually wear plain, mono-colored jerseys with no logos, like the ones you get from MEC or Performance.

I think I've seen that one too, wabbit - and forgot what it was for. I'll have to keep a lookout for it now. As for the logos, that's typical in most all advertising unless it's a sports figure and it's in their contract to be shown with sponsor's logos (think NASCAR). Don't want to give another company free advertising, after all - not to mention possible copyright infringement issues...

There are some commercials that use bikes for lifestyle/image
Gap did a comercial with a bunch of good-looking "Gappy" models riding cruisers through the city.
Clarks shoes in the UK did a nice one with a fashionable girl on a bike in a place that looked like Paris (turns out to be Preston).
The ones I hate are where fat guy falls off his bike in contrived accident. I cant even remember the product.
