Truth in advertising: Descente bike shorts
It’s hard to argue with this headline, or the first line of copy, which reads, “Repeated chronic microtraumitization should never come between you, your genitals and your friends on a group ride.” Ads of the World has the high-res, readable version of this ad, as well as a second ad with a similarly straightforward message. The agency is Factory Design Labs of Denver. A friend of mine is currently doing a many-day, solo bike trip from Montreal to Portland, Maine. Hopefully he’s heard of Descente.
