Both Huffy and Murray were generous and conspicuous pro
sponsors in the eighties

You didn't notice the Montgomery Street sign? I thought that
was interesting.

And you trained like a madman. And you had an
insatiable desire to win. And you were impervious to
the suffering, etc.

But is he steering with his right hand or his left?

You know it's just killing Peter that Campagnolo hasn't been
on a winning TdF bike since last century. ;-)

Lately a lot of bicycles which resemble choppers, with all
the chrome, long forks, weird geometry, ornamentation and
high handlebars have been showing up in downtown Santa Cruz.
I think someone has a custome shop doing them, not a bad
idea, though I'd be the last to try riding one up a hill, or
down one for that matter.

I didn't think that looked like a BMX, more like one of
those really small bikes with the solid tires my
younger brother started on. Maybe that's Luke, he's
what, 4 and 1/2 now?

Any ideas on this - I keep listening to that add just for
that gentle groove. I'd buy that CD (or at least grab it
off iTunes).

Don't forget to train or you'll wind up like Jan.
BTW, Nike, or their marketers, are brilliant enough that
they don't need to worry about whether you remember the
swoosh and tagline. The very look of the ad is enough to
tell you it's a Nike ad. (Remember the Nike ads during the
last World Cup with soccer players in a steel cage
tournament on a ship? The computer graphics and lighting
were very similar. And so on.) Right now, they can put an ad
on and not even show the swoosh and you'll be subconsciously
thinking Nike. Soon they'll only show the swoosh and slogan
as a legal requirement, like the way political ads have to
name the sponsor. Shortly after that, even the absence of
the swoosh will be a Nike marketing tool. This prediction
was only a few years too early:

It reminds me of coming up the back side of Mt. Tamalpais on
Bolinas-Fairfax Road from Alpine Dam to Ridgecrest.

www.thepaceline.com sez:
PS - Several readers have asked about the music from the
commercial - here's the inside word from the
commercial's producer: "It's an original score by a
music house in Los Angeles we work with quite a
bit... we supply ideas, inspiration and direction
with various tracks and then work with them scoring
to picture."
Probably won't show up on iTunes anytime soon, then.

I remember one of the first discs Mavic made. Aluminum.
Heavy bastards. Like two heavy gauge woks welded together.
Of course the prevailing logic at the time was that heavy
was good, as it would help to cancel out any fluctuations in
speed. Mavic then went on a few years later to create the
Comete ± where you could actually add steel weights to the
outer perimeter of the disc for the same [bad] reason.

Reminds me of one of those things you do as a kid. My
brother and I found we could open a Sears tire pump and fill
it with water. It was only a matter of time until we were
cruising around with waterfilled tires. It took some time to
get one of those big old bikes (what they'd call cruisers
today) up to speed, but man could they coast!
