Like this one? : http://members.cox.net/thc/Chopper.JPG

I still can't believe it's possible to steer like that.

Actually, I find the reverse approach more attractive:

It would make riding up 22nd St @ Potrero Hill in San
Francisco less "exciting". (unfortunately, the I don't think
I'd be allowed on the train with it...)

It's possible. I recall pro triathletes on Huffy bikes in
the early 90's. Huffy may have sponsored cyclists, too, but
my memory is a bit fuzzier on that one...

I like the very brief hairpin mountain road clip, in the
misty forest. It reminds me of Kings Ridge Road, just north
of the Russian River and off the Cazadero Highway. We rode
there last Saturday, and it was simply beautiful. Short but
steep climbs in shady forests.

I wonder if any of the team sponsors had input/compensation
regarding that commercial. Despite the "swoosh" and tagline
at the very end, the only corporate image I'm left with is
the big AMD logo at the bottom of the jersey that's pretty
much centered in the frame of the final shot.

Nike sucks, by the way. And if I was able to convert oxygen
better than any human who has ever been measured I could win
bike races too.

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 Tour de France 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:
