- RobotKeaton, on 10/07/2008, -1/+341I thought that was a Starbucks logo at first. Which also would have fit.

^Large Version for lazy ***** like me. - Shiftgood, on 10/07/2008, -0/+52They also put up a sign that says
"9 out of 10 doctors recommend cycling as a cure for fatness" - cyrusuncc, on 10/07/2008, -1/+51We'd like to offer you an extended warranty/service plan on that water bottle.
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -6/+48i like how this is the most honest ad i saw today
- sbartz, on 10/07/2008, -2/+38They really do want your money. I couldn't afford a one-speed cruiser in that store for ~$300
- SRSco, on 10/07/2008, -1/+33I think you're being too hard on yourself. Bless your heart for helping the rest of us lazy *****. That was neither lazy nor ***** of you.
- cyrusuncc, on 10/07/2008, -3/+27i like turtles
- SRSco, on 10/07/2008, -1/+22You're just fishing for compliments.
- CharlesSaint, on 10/07/2008, -2/+18There is hope for capitalism.
- talonstriker, on 10/07/2008, -2/+18this is the first ad I've seen today
- Tarantulus, on 10/07/2008, -4/+19I liked the part where the ad was honest
- swanny89, on 10/07/2008, -2/+17Some people ride bikes for recreation. Not everyone is trying to save the world.
- TheDarkstarter, on 10/07/2008, -0/+15The best ad I saw all year was on a garbage truck in Hawaii:
"Satisfaction guaranteed or double your garbage back" - dougmc, on 10/07/2008, -2/+14Once you know something about bikes, you can save a whole bunch of money by watching craigslist for what you're looking for.
And really, $300 isn't too bad for a brand new bike at a bike shop. Even with only one gear. - Frezzle, on 10/07/2008, -2/+14Gigantic version for super lazy ***** like me.

If armstrong says its lame I dont think its gonna sell... - Shiftgood, on 10/07/2008, -1/+12It almost never moves. They just use it for advertising mostly.
When they do use it. its loaded with bikes. (its a truck not SUV) - petemcfraser, on 10/07/2008, -2/+13It's not Starbucks.
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -1/+12It only looks like Starbucks in the thumbnail.
- flapanthers87, on 10/07/2008, -0/+10Starbucks: "They'll say anything to get your vote. We just want your money, oh, and to piss you off with those lame ass names for sizes."
- Shiftgood, on 10/07/2008, -0/+9yeah... welcome to Palo Alto.
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -0/+8There is a volunteer fire dept station I drive by once a week. They have one of those huge signs you can put your own letters up. For years it was things like "Serve your community" and "Great pride".
It recently changed to "Long hours. No pay". - nickiank, on 10/07/2008, -4/+12"We'd like to sell you a bike, so here's a smug ad on a giant truck!" Take your business elsewhere, folks.
- Treshnell, on 10/07/2008, -0/+7I paid $100 for one wheel and a seat :(
But now I have a cool new skill to go with my nunchuck skills! - jynweythek, on 10/07/2008, -2/+9i like bacon
- Antimatter85, on 10/07/2008, -1/+8Bacon is better than turtles I suppose
- mantony, on 10/07/2008, -1/+7i love "hip" ads
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -2/+8The most honest ad today is advertising 99 cent slushies at the gas station.
- happytrees, on 10/07/2008, -0/+6c'mon, you know that ***** doesn't really taste like blueberry passion.
- DarkProd, on 10/07/2008, -1/+7I bet the 10th doctor was an advertiser for some ***** product he happened to "invent", oh never mind his product is already in Wal-Mart.
- UnFriendlyFire, on 10/07/2008, -4/+10Its both parties platforms, vote third party.
- Jforsyth89, on 10/07/2008, -0/+6I'll go with Anal Bum Cover for $400.
- danlowlite, on 10/07/2008, -2/+7What does it mean if we don't do anything?
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -0/+5sometimes they tax that *****.
- drtitanium0, on 10/07/2008, -2/+7http://flickr.com/photos/blakemasters/2920722992/s ...
^HUGE Version for blind ***** like me. - cvrst, on 10/07/2008, -2/+7Truth in advertising.
Honest politicians.
A free lunch.
I love it when oxymorons happen. - lazyslacker, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4damn you got ripped unless it's made of some amazing material.
- Myonosken, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4A free lunch isn't an oxymoron....
- Amadeus2490, on 10/08/2008, -0/+4The preservatives'll keep 'em good forever. Eat the pies at your own pace.
- Tsumeone, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4Not everyone agrees with the likes of "critical mass"
Go cry on your bicycle's shoulder :) - kinggps, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4not really. Most of the folks I run into around here are constantly running around trying to get me to sign their myriad petitions or otherwise preoccupied with enthusiastic babbling about CHANGE.
I'd say the area is so brimming with 'hope' that it borders on brainwashing - a religious inability to recognize our political circus for what it is. - SRSco, on 10/07/2008, -1/+5You didn't think cynics lived in Palo Alto? o_O
- LloydBentsen, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4I thought it was Starbucks in the thumbnail too, and I don't even drink coffee. I guess their circlular logo is as recognizable as the golden arches, or maybe I just like dude units.
- atgmac, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3I think YOU mean cyclists.
- RobotKeaton, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3You guys should totally hang out.
- eldudereno, on 10/07/2008, -1/+4What about the daily shows 5000 McDonald's apple pies for your vote from some stupid news channel, i thought that was pretty impressive but you have to be built like some kind of house for it to fill yer of course
- Amadeus2490, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3Lunch is free if you steal it from somebody and get away with it.
- ApplCmptrDood, on 10/07/2008, -2/+5Whoa, I live 5 minutes from there >.
- gemmini, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3awesome I live nearby this bike store but have not seen this sign. Although they do make great ads.
