Happy July Fourth from the fake Uncle Sam and the rest of us Zillans

Jul 04, 2024

In Philadelphia, 248 years ago, some visionary men signed a document that altered the course of human history.

Also in Philadelphia, 17 years ago, three guys with some good ideas started a company they named RevZilla and changed the motorcycle gear retail landscape.

And now, in Philadelphia, we have Spurgeon making a helmet video dressed as Uncle Sam.

Folks, the arc of history does not always bend toward greatness. That's just the sad reality of the unavoidable cycles of the universe. And if you don't believe me, just watch the outtakes videos below. Nothing says "decline of Western civilization" like the spectacle of Spurgeon attempting to ad-lib in his infamously inappropriate and nonsensical fake accents while wearing a really bad strap-on goatee.

Despite that, we hope you enjoy your Fourth of July holiday anyway. (The Sedici Strada 3 Primo Liberty helmet is still available in most sizes, if you're interested in celebrating with some Americana-themed shopping.) The Common Tread team took the day off to go riding, but we'll see you back here tomorrow.
