That on television commercials using bicycles, if a man is riding a bike it
will be a beach cruiser type with longhorn handlebars--- and if a woman is
the rider, her bike will be the old step-through design with full fenders
AND have a wicker basket on the handlebars?

Just something I noticed recently. Commercial makers must keep these bikes
and recycle them for the next ad program....

The one I've seen the most lately has about four middle aged guys riding
road bikes pretty seriously. I think it's a commercial for a financial
services company.

I guess it depends on what the product is who the advertiser is trying to
reach.
