Ads with Bikes

If memory serves me, I've mentioned this in one of the conversation at the CL Bar Night at the Fireside few weeks ago.

. . . Have you noticed how often there are bikes and bikers in advertisements not even remotely related to cycling? I, for once, am under impression that number of such ads is increasing.

Of course, the only (seen so far by me) TV commercial with people wearing helmets properly is by REI—no surprise here.

Got any links, posters, videos with interesing ads with bikes? (Preferrably not by bike-related businesses.)

Here's one, though it's very much bikeish . . . I just like it, for obvious reasons :)

The target catalog has a wedding ad with the bride and groom on matching Schwinn his and her cruisers. It's adorable.

Here it is:

Nice. What does the woman in the car say at 1:13?

Damn! I was hoping it was an homage to the line from "When Harry Met Sally" delivered by Carl Reiner's mother: "I'll have what she's having..."

Unfortunately, my German is rather embryonic . . . But, as I've just found out, it's not a commercial at all, but a clip from "Mädchen, Mädchen."
