This is easily the best of the 3. But it's still just okay. ...these don't get to the BENEFIT of biking to work. They merely show the INSTANCE of it.

True, but they show the instance of biking to work in a very polished way that speaks to a lot of careful (expensive) thought on someone's part, and that in itself celebrates riding, which is important -- it's easy to feel oppressed or downtrodden while laboring precariously on the shoulder of the road. These seem targeted at people who bike to work already, people who see it as a mark of pride to have a chainring mark on their right calf and who quietly fantasize about a parking garage full of bikes. Biking to work can be hard; these print ads will keep you on your bike even if you've gotten honked at or flipped off that morning. It's a campaign to shore up the "consumer" base, not expand it.

On the other hand, I think the video does a very good job of putting across benefits in a compelling way.

Agree. Also, the logo is by far the best art in this ad. I'm sorry, but this photograph and photoshop is quite bad. Is too strong, I dont know, it´s not natural. The idea has nothing new, but it's ok.
