The Office - Trek Bike Cameo
Quote | Reply
The opening to last night's episode of The Office was a gem and included yet another wink to the multi-sport/cycling community. A few key observations:

- Oscar sporting the Livestrong Edition Oakley Jawbones
- The Livestrong inspired paint job on his Trek Madone (Project One?)
- Michael Scott wearing the helmet backwards during his first crash
- Oscar saying "this is the exact same bike Lance rode...well not the exact same bike...."

I am convinced that someone involved with this show is a multisport athlete. Just think back to the 5k episode where Andy wore a Zoot tri suit (http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...um.cgi?post=1501875;) and Michael's pre-race carbo loading with fettuccine alfredo.

Love this show!

All I could think is that I would never let someone else ride my bike!

I cringed both times the bike went down.... One of the worst sounds in the world is a carbon bike hitting pavement...

I agree...that was more unnerving than Meredith unbuttoning her blouse!

In the episode from last season where Michael broke up with Pam's mom at her birthday lunch, one of the things that Michael listed that he still wanted to do at some point in his life was complete a triathlon. There probably is a multi-sport athlete on staff. We're everywhere.

It could also be possible that one of the writers is a member of this forum also

It is also possible that triathlon (at least the discussion of triathlon) has become very mainstream. Heck - I have heard triathlon mentioned on several of the shows my kids watch (I think Hannah Montana or one of those tween shows.)
Is triathlon becoming the Rollerblade fad of the 90's? You either had them or you wanted them.

I kept thinking the same thing. No way I'm letting someone learn to ride on my carbon bike, and he just kept falling on it. So painful.
