Copenhagenize.com - Bicycle Culture by Design: Short Attention Span and Advertising


Week in and week out I get inundated with emails from people who want to advertise either here on Copenhagenize.com or over at Cycle Chic.

It's quite amazing that most of the emails are for products that have nothing to do what I write about or take pictures about. Goes to show that one pops up in a Google search and the person in question doesn't bother to do their research. Even after writing posts like this at Cycle Chic, or this one, two days later I get an email from someone wanted to pay to advertise their "cycling trousers" for urban cycling. "Avoid chafing and wear and tear!" Oh bother, as Winnie the Pooh would say.

Anyway, this email arrived today, from China. Perhaps the products are of interest to some of you, out there. Seriously. Maybe Carlton can get cheaper lycra gear for his I Pay Road Tax cycling clothes or some of you out there want to get some kit for your local club. Who knows.

Being multilingual and having made major embarassing faux pas' in several languages, I deeply respect people who try to communicate in languages other than their own.However, I am quite fascinated by the Ruing Jerseys and Pants. So often when feeling remorse and only wishing to rue my situation, I lie on the sofa wishing I had the appropriate clothing in which to do so. Dear sir,
