So, twice now, I’ve committed to a big bike purchase. Both times, I had to look hard at SURLY bikes really carefully… you know, ’cause they had what I…NEED.
And I ran across this article on their site a while back and archived it, wanting to share. And now, I share. It’s funny. Maybe I think it’s funny just because it takes bad advertising choices to task. Maybe I like it because the comments that the image received prove that there are people- like me and, I think, you- who know better than to believe ANYTHING and advertisement tells us. I’m neck deep in advertising and I see bad choices now and again. Mostly on the down-and-dirty TV ads that tend to run first thing in the morning or late in the evening. Feel free to comment below on your favorite rotten ad.
And if you’re in the market for a high-end bike. Look at Surly.
shrink wrapped chicken legs are going to sell what?
Dunno. Still lookin’ at them legs.
My first impression, no way she could ride with those heels on. No one rides with heels, what does she have on 6 inch stilettos? She cannot be a real rider look at those legs, where is the muscle definition. All the women I know that ride regularly have some serious definition . What is that a fixie? I see front brakes but no rear brakes. I am not sure I can a brake lever either?
Yep, I think it’s a fixie. I’ve never ridden a two-wheel fixie, only unicycles.
Now I have read the article on the Surly website and see that is indeed a fixie. After being directed to the Surly site I have a need for a Surly Moonlander now.
Looks like it’s a picture from Europe, so it’s possible she does ride a bicycle. Not everyone in the world is drive-thru fueled.
I’d ride with her, if my wife let me 🙂
