H&R Block commercial

Has anyone seen the new H&R Block commercial for tax returns that is in the bike shop?

Clerk tells her that the bike has the "latest spec gears" or something similar.

Too bad the bike he's talking to her about appears to be a SS or Fixie.

Nothing worse than a company using a bike in a commercial with gross inaccuracies.

The Trek District is a single-speed, belt drive urban bike. The belt is carbon. About $1100 MSRP.

I actually enjoyed seeing a bike not being marginalized in mainstream communication.

I saw one at a local bike shop - this guy turned to his girlfriend and said "It's a fixed gear". He's in the know, fo sho.

I saw that same commercial and wanted to comment on it here. Only problem was I couldn't remember what the commercial was for. Not very effective advertising, I guess.

Someone just told me about this commercial this morning, my husband designed that bike, so I wanted to show the video to him. We had no idea they were using it for that commercial, pretty cool! If anyone finds the video, can you post the link please? Thank you!

Here is a website/blog that some customer started: TrekDistrict.com
It is a beautiful bike, if I must say so myself
