Not surprised, they all look very comfortable on their bikes... like
they've been riding them for quite a while! If you ever hear any of
the back-story for the development of it, please pass it along!

Apparantly there can be all kinda reasons why a prop gets into the picture in 
show biz. Sometimes arbitrary, sometimes not.

Back in the late '60's there was a group called the Peppermint Rainbow. One of 
the singers told me that they  were on a CBS TV show doing their song "Will You 
be Staying After Sunday?".

They were using all Fender instruments even though in real life some of them 
played other instruments. But since CBS was the TV network, and CBS also owned 
Fender instruments at the time, CBS told them they had to use Fender stuff.

I can partially answer that. The two people are a 'real life' couple. That is 
indeed her actual atlantis. I don't know her, but have stayed at the guys house 
on a motorcycle trip years back, as he was a mutual friend of a guy who was 
also staying with him at the time. That's sounds confusing... Point is, it's 
her atlantis. No idea how it got into the commercial though.

Just watched this, and was going to say again at the 17 sec mark. I
think she has it set up w/ straight bars.
Would be interesting to hear how that got into the video. If it's the
actor's personal bike, a production assistant's ride, if Levi's wanted
it, whatever.

I'm not a young hipster, but if this clothing were available in my size, 
I'd buy it. I pretty much only ride in leggings/jeggings because of 
comfort, stretch, and durability.

Not just a young hipster product, I assure you! I know a lot of guys in
their 50's and 60's here who love the jeans, and they're not all stick
figure physique either. They have a nice amount of stretch, re-enforced in
the saddle-area, and they wick away water nicely (that feature goes away
over time if you wash them a lot).

Hah, I didn't notice that! Opening a real can of worms here lol.

The Levi's commuter line has been around for several years now. Probably
not ten years yet, but getting close. They finally expanded to include
women's clothing in the last year or two, and the line as a whole has
expanded quite a bit recently. Sounds like they're in it for a while at
least.
