But yes, I find named sponsorship things irritating as well. Especially when the sponsor pulls out and they have to find a new one and rebrand it aly. So the Capstan Sportive you are used to suddenly becomes the Buckfast Belter. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6581#post-70777 Wed, 16 May 2012 20:08:50 +0000 crowriver 70777@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Perhaps it's a good sign that Samsung think bikes are worth some advertising dollars.</em></p> <p>This. </p> <p>Yes, it's vaguely depressing, but at least a sponsor is actually interested that is not a bicycle manufacturer... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6581#post-70770 Wed, 16 May 2012 19:47:23 +0000 wee folding bike 70770@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In the case of Sky's errrr… Sky Ride we just didn't bother registering and cycled along the road anyway.
