Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

This is interesting syntax, and raises a host of questions. First of all, do you mean it's current, but appears to be from two years ago? Or could it be from any time, but looks like it's from two years ago?

What makes it look like 2007? The stylization? And how exactly does something look distinctively like 2007? Why would an advertising choose the style of 2007 to emulate?

Last question: what year do you think it actually dates from?

That video has been around a couple of years, was posted on this website a couple of years ago.

Memo: Never ride your bike in such a manner that cops feel compelled to perform a Pitt maneuver on you.
