    Indeed, the high-rise shit-holes give it away.

    yeah he parks up his bike at the abbey national building on St Vincent Street at the end, also on that unfinished walkway across the motorway, some springburn high flats too i think?

    All that effort to get to work only for your bike to be knicked by the time you leave.

    that is a really bad advert. I can't believe how crap a concept they came up with. You can almost imagine the creatives going, "hey let's get that danny macaskil guy to do our ad. Then it'll go viral and everyone will love it" might be true but it doesn't mean you can just come up with a shite concept that doesn't actually fit the brand. Fuck sake.

    The Cycling Scotland News that I got through the post said that Danny was going to be at the finish of Pedal for Scotland for a show of sorts. I'll certainly be checking it out, might be worth a look.

    i don't even like the song. It's just a fucking crap concept for a "do you want to love your job?" advert. What sort of fucking route is that to take to the abbey national building. Anderston then Barlinnie...

    glasgow, edinburgh and aberdeen apparantly. i wouldnae recognize aberdeen even if i was standing in union street eating a buttery but a local may be able to confirm this.

    If you're going to do that kind of thing, then you should at the very least know what you're doing. I know the whole point of the video was that the guy didn't have a clue, but I think that's just mean. You can see the poor animal trying its damndest to get away.

    It's hard to judge without the full context, but assuming he was genuinely trying to steal their bikes, he came off pretty lightly; quite a restrained attack.

    @ the Ironman one, wow! Now that's exhaustion!

    smout i totally agree, anyone who hits the deck you should just leave them.

    but, if you saw someone trying to steal your bike.. i am sure the rage would set in!

    i got sent an email a wee while a go. it was a japanese speed cooking contest. basically the chefs scored a live fish along the body a few times, flash fried it in hot as fuck oil then popped it on a plate covered it in a tomato sauce and served it up. it was cooked that quick it was still breating on the plate and there was a few close ups of the breathing fish. disqualification loomed if they killed it.

    EDIT: here it is -
