I am with you on grouping different sports together to make a triathlon. My favorite is bay kayaking/fishing, drinking beer, and eating. My second favorite is mountain biking single track, drinking margaritas, then working on landscaping my yard. Lastly, I enjoy running, eating a huge meal, and then sleeping. Unfortunately it is very hard to get anyone to sponsor me in my triathlon endeavors unless it includes swimming biking and running and excluses everything else. Humph.

Hey,
perhaps cannondale should give up. I mean, the bikes are no good, really…and this ad is even worse.
Love the blog though….especially as an anything but skinny cyclist myself…

The icing on the cake here is the blatantly illegal apostrophe in blatantly big type. Even a third grader knows that the plural is formed by adding an "s," and that apostrophes are reserved for contractions and possessives.

FERRARIS – more than one Ferrari

FERRARI’S – belonging to Ferrari

It’s such a stupid mistake I can’t even believe it. Right there for every elementary school graduate to laugh at. Along with the rest of the ad.

I think this might have worked a little better with some sort of ‘extreme’ mountain biking. In any case, I think the biggest problem with Cannondale is the lack of dealers. I think REI is the only place within 100 (maybe 150) miles that actually stocks Cannondale road bikes (I’m in eastern WA). And their selection sucks.

I’m not positive, but I think the big hat guy is Nathan O’Neil, 7-time
Australian time trial champion. I’ve met him a couple of times at
my LBS, he’s way too nice a guy to be in an ad like that.

Is it just me, or are the first three guys all the same guy? Maybe the rest of the team didn’t show so they had to photo shop the one guy in a variety of hats. That’s why the big-hat one looks so mad- his teammates stood him up.

So, since I already ride a C’dale, does that make me a thug too? I hope so, cuz my street cred is nil.

Love the site, FC. I have a link to it on my site. Keep ridin’, man.

And keep writin’.
