Ads for cycling and public transport
Cycling
With all the problems of modern society pointing towards the bike as a very real part of the solution, there is obviously something people are missing. Maybe, they just don’t know how good cycling can be. Maybe they just need to see it on T.V. I have a few ideas of little ads for cycling of my own, but I haven’t made them yet. In the meantime, have a look at some of these for inspiration. Tell me what you think, let me know if you have an idea, or share the link to an ad that you have seen.

Public Transport
Everyone loves to complain about public transport – so they think it’s a valid excuse not to take the bus. But everyone complains about the traffic – but then they are quite happy to get back in their cars. The difference, they are told everyday that driving is what they want to do – by ads. So here are some examples of getting the public transport message out there.
