    What's the worst cycling advert you've ever seen? Let us know in the comments below!

      It was about a bike led light. A dude with a suit was humping the back of a bike saddle. Cringe levels to the max.

      No. You got it spot on. Would you want to buy a shoe because it has had Pippo Pozatto's nob in it?
      How about a good ad turned bad with hindsight: Nike / Lance Armstrong the "You want to know what I'm on?" ad?

    That Garmin Winter training ad was a HUGE motivation for me back in 2012. I had just gotten in to road biking, and living in Canada means winter training like that feels very relevant in Fall/Spring :) The music, the visuals, the cool colour grading - excellent overall!
