I guess it's more of a speaker company marketing itself to the cycling community...but regardless.

I don't really understand the appeal of their product in the first place...but this story guarantees that I will never purchase from them, and recommend that other cyclists do the same.

ugh. This form of advertising is such a turn-off for so many reasons. Stupid. Fat-shaming. Nearly naked women. Did I mention stupid? 

And what does any of this have to do with generating good sound? Nothing. 

The upside I suppose is that this startup kultur bro shit doesn't really need to be abided because real audio companies like JBL and so on have come out with perfectly serviceable speakers for this task. 

There was a guy I'd see on the bike trail downstate,sweating,out of breath and of considerable size I never thought much of it just wondering what he was doing? He seemed like he was in pain. If you join a gym to work out, lose weight...do they shame you?
Seems alot like a guy in a Ferrari pulling up to your Prius and yelling nice car.
Bros will be bros, keep those hats on backwards and go tanning.

Big guys are hard on wheels.  When I worked at the bike shop we had a lineman who loved to ride a cannondale.  He went through wheels like he was changing underpants.  I got him into a set of tandem hubs with more than the typical 36 spokes.  They lasted a lot longer than his old wheels.  I love seeing big people on bikes. 

I've done my share of marketing stupidity for sure.  ...Hopefully not as bad as this.
