Mazda advert finished

It is strange for Mazda. When I think of a car to take to a trailhead
for a muni (or MTB) ride, a Mazda is not on the list.

When I worked for the marketing department of Mazda UK in 1997[1], ISTR
they were marketing a couple of Mazda brand mountain bikes. I think
the idea is not to appeal to serious cycling enthusiasts, but rather to
appeal to people who think they might like to take some exercise one
day if they can find the energy (i.e. the vast majority of British
motorists).

[1] Only temping in a secretarial capacity, I hasten to add. They
wanted to give me a permanent job and train me in marketing, but my
personal code of ethics would not allow me to take a job trying to
encourage the use of motor vehicles. And I decided I'd much rather
work for a living than get involved in marketing.

So there is three quarters of a wheel on a car. Weird car if you ask me.
I would think that it would be something more like 300% more wheels on
cars then on unis.

Im sorry, but you just failed math 101. Good bye.



You're wrong too.

75% more than 1 is 1.75, not .75
