what’s with the handicapped pedaling around 1:55 in the first one?

-edit-
i guess it’s the whole video. dude’s knees stick out like crazy when he pedals.

this one is hilarious[/quote]
I kind of felt bad for the reporter. I mean, Fox sucks and the reporter is part of the suckfest. But I think it turned into everybody just being a dick to be a dick and letting out their frustrations on the guy.

Loved the video. That shot near the beginning where it shows the guy skidding and weaving at the intersection is crazy when it zooms out. I didn’t know you could zoom that much on a camera like that and not have it be totally jittery.

24

I liked it.

25

Lame

26

Yes.

Well done - sure. Hilariously overdone - definitely.

27

Well, the shots look nice, but I think the whole thing is a giant pile of steaming shit. I could go into details but that about sums it up. Apparently, I’m in a minority with that opinion. Oh well.

28

Yep. I only liked the zoom shot bliks mentioned. Also, why does dude constantly ride over broken glass? I understand its a tire ad, but who doesn’t avoid broken bottles?

29

HE’S TUFF AS NAILZ, DOOD!!!

If it’s anything like the town I live in, the bike lanes always have broken beer bottles so maybe he has no choice?

I really don’t understand why they had him ride through glass, that was dumb.

31

Maybe to show that the tires were puncture resistant?

32

What are those hubs with the crazy axle covers on the girl’s bike?

They’re Shimano’s cruiser hubs.

Cuz casual riders get put off by the unsightly look of axles.

36

I hate that people confuse their local Fox news affiliate with Fox News. How stupid are people?

Also, why do these videos always show people putting the wheels on their bikes before they ride? Did they take them off the night before? Are their New York apartments so small that they can’t fit their frame and wheels in at the same time?

Hutchinson tires suck, too.
