Think - Bicycle (UK)

[MYKEGREGORY]

who el;se thinks that i would be a much better idea if cyclists use the paths/sidewalks.

they would be out of motorists way and it would be safer for them.

[TheMattyboy20]

the kid should be OFF the road bikes slow cars down

[carocarotho]

Sounds Like Cher On E

[gab1971]

[mclaren4life2009]

[LittleLeeHere]

The first time I saw this it scared me half to death, this was the version I saw the first time, the other one, where the music actually finishes and the car crash sound is just an echoy thud isnt so bad, but this one just cuts the music, crash, and leaves me shuddering like hell

[toffeematt]

This commercial was quite haunting when I have seen it but one thing that has always completely struck me is why does the young girl who's riding in front of the car look constantly at the man who's very clearly drunk and not aware of what he's doing it's just something that's always really puzzled me as to why she looks at him with such a frightened expression and I used to prefer it when they had that low rumbling sound effect when the bloke crashes his car it used to sound far more scarier

[jaffacake1578]

song???

[gloucesterharry]

2 drinks and he smashes up his car? lightweight.

[keanulewis123]

wtf stupid dickhead cyclist was all her fault lol

[JGJamieson93]

Am I the only one who finds the echoing voices and music extremely unnerving? The shock factor for this Think advert is minimum but I must say it is one of the eeriest I have seen.

[OrangeJuice101]

no, me too.

i find it both eerie and depressing.

not a nice combo :/

[Batner112]

Yeah remember:

Bicycletuning is not a crime!

[ncPsychosis]

In the United States, people die of alcohol related collisions EVERY 15 MINUTES.

If they can't learn from that..they NEVER will.

[cyclepod1]

It is a good ad but motorists still ignore it.

[NewYankee01]

in those situations instead of always trying to make eye contact with the driver you look straight ahead until a car comes 1 or 2 quick looks beforehand to see if hes a twat or not you must only look behind to see his road position and then the little bitch would have realised if thered be a car collision crushing her.

[GeeCulverin]

There are new road safety adverts here with this A&E doctor, just sitting there, explaining the fun things he has to see because of road collisions; far far more effective than the above style.

[wuzzlevideos]

Where is "here"? Your profile says UK, is it a local advert or a new national one?

[GeeCulverin]

I suppose if I were to go into detail the advert is by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland. There are a couple of variations but the theme is much the same throughout.

[wuzzlevideos]

Ahhh! I know the one you mean. The cross-border campaign with the Republic? Those are naff :)

[Steve669909]

..scary

[minetruly]

In America, we call it DRUNK driving.

[wuzzlevideos]

Yeah, different English speaking communities tend to spell things differently.

[1993gandy]

@minetruly in america you also throw egg shapped leather objects with your hands and its called football

[wuzzlevideos]

@1993gandy We do it over here too. It's called Rugby Football. As an English fan of American football I do get rather pissed off at the double standard. Why can't we all just get along?

[liverpoolmod]

yey

[mumisdead]

slutty mothers

[xpidf1]

the only thing is, that the byciclist was safe

[mart456]

ps. my machine is extra loud :D

[mart456]

yep but some can afford to be when they have a cage of steel around them. . and actually pay to be there.. and abide by the law. lol

[wuzzlevideos]

Oh I agree, some cyclists can be real cunts. But then, everyone can be. :)

[TheSickness1001]

You are an idiot. Why should cyclists have to pay a tax? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't motorists have to pay more taxes instead? I mean they're the ones driving environment killing, noisy, and for the most part unecessary machines (especially in a large city). You shouldn't have to pay to use a public space unless you are contributing to its deterioration, which motorists are.

[EdgeyForSure]

any vehicle on the road must pay tax.. bikes use the road why must they be an exception. but i do agree it shud be lower than cars, and they shud AT LEAST pay attention to red lights. and not ride in the middle of the road up a hill at 5 mph -.-

[oceansprinter]

becuase then people will become fat because they wont use them

[L0rM]

Most environment killing is caused by chopping down trees. Vehicles are just seen as something to take it out on by governments to whack up taxes.

[Applemask]

The slogan is a good one, though. They should have kept it.

[CountBlah]

It was MUCH freakier without the crash.

[xoxNessie2Nessxox]

he looks like robbie williams the way he looks!!!!

[helzy89]

Nah, if it were Robbie Williams, it would be an advert about driving under the influence of drugs, not drink.

[Applemask]

It doesn't work.

[keiranhancock]

blimmin freaky

[LoafOfPint]

Notice this version is nine seconds shorter than the original one as well, so there's 25% less to think about.
