It's ok I guess.

I hope some people at Critical Mass will bring some stills from it
and take them with them on the ride.


Should have ended with bike sailing happily along to be squashed back
flat on the tarmac by an impatient WVM ;-)

The first and the last are the best IMO.

Quite hard to follow when you don't do dutch. Visually the first and
last were the best though.

I liked the team time trial to the office

I'm sure a passing Roos will be along shortly to explain.

That last one is laugh-out-loud brilliant!

Roos, could you supply a translation of the three men in the lift? Was it a
traffic report that was coming over the announcement system?

Actually, I found it in very poor taste. *Real* car bombs are exploding
in Iraq. And they kill *real people*.

The others are quite good.

Something like this:

[voice]
Attention, for the owner of the blue saab, regnr X, you forgot your
handbrake
[man 1 looks worried]
Attention, the blue saab is now moving in the direction of the yellow
lotus
[crashing sounds, man2 looks worried]

[textover]
No hassles? Take the bike!

Just as I can tell the violent acts in cartoon's aren't real, I can tell the
difference between some dodgy gangster looking characters getting blown up
in a car bomb and real life militant attacks. If I had a gangster relative
who'd been blown up in a car bomb I may feel differently though.... I think
the phrase at the end which translates to cyclists live longer makes it
clear that its intended as humour.

I liked the last one and the ink blot test one. Best of all only one
remotely mountain bike styled machine to be seen throughout, the rest
classic Dutch designs!

Excellent! Thanks Roos, it brings the advert to life.
