Halfords isn’t just ITV2’s TdF sponsor, the company is also airing a TV ad campaign that is ruffling a few feathers. Buy your children’s bikes from Halfords, or safety might be being compromised, is the message of one of the ads, mirroring one of last year’s print campaigns from Halfords. It features two dads, one of whom bought his son’s (Apollo) MTB from Halfords. The other dad mocks his son’s riding skills and pushes him (and his oversize 1980s road-style bike) into a park bench!
