Sex sells... bicycles? Well, squid-wear. Exploring their site, I can't help but believe the whole fashion industry (cyclists included) is goofy. Actually, I think it's pretty lame (no offense to the few here who may deeply care about their appearance). At least those pictures are nice.
But I'm sure some of you have your favorite bicycle ad campaigns/marketing stuff. Maybe. Bike ads seem non-existent here in the US, but that's what the internet is for! If you've got a link for an interesting bike ad, post it here. I'm tired of being surrounded by automobile commercials.

The cleverchimp blog has some good Dutch ads compiled as a video:

Quote:
Dutch bicycle advocacy ads, in contrast, feature barefoot couples making out on a (single) bike, helmetless children on bikes, business suits and dresses on bikes blasting through motor traffic, Saddam Hussein in prison dreaming of riding a bike and shooting George Bush, and the addictive/pathetic qualities of drivers and driving, such as of the obese oaf who responds “auto” to Rorschach blots of genitalia and bikes alike, as well as the possibility of a car bomb taking you out. “Bicyclists live longer.”
