Readers? What ads do you remember, there’s a lot of them. Bicycle ads, of course, have existed as long as bikes have. Like the one for Daws Bicycles. Some bike ads we won’t see here in the States, like Duffy riding a fixie through the grocery store, drinking a Diet Coke. Duffy gots some good bike handling skills, who knew?

There was the Miller High Life “Alternative Fuels” ad:

And a few years back was this fun/inspiring Gap ad, featuring Ashton Kutscher, Scarlett Johansen, and Zooey Deschanel riding beach cruisers:

Despite totally different tones, they both capture the Hell Yeah feeling I get when I ride.
The investment bank ad was T. Rowe Price.
hey! did you use openid to sign in, cause I think that’s not all whack now, if so.
Duffy was not riding a fixed gear. Go to 00:20 on the video to see her coast towards the supermarket entrance.
Good eye—I had a shit connection and scrubbed the video multiple times and just got the hub at one point, but didn’t see the dude in a wig coasting.
