DSNV RUNS NYC from CREAM Bikes & Things on Vimeo.

This inspires me so much.  The world wide love of fixed gear bikes, style, races, etc. is so prevalent. This seven minute documentary further fills my heart for the love of NYC as well as the very elaborate beauty of Dosnoventa‘s rides/passion for cycling!  Get inspired, Ride x Create

The Lucky Cat IV had an amazing turn out!  We totaled about 45-50 racers and a ton more fine folks came out and supported (aka drank beer with me).  The prize table was packed from our amazing sponsors!  I can’t thank you guys enough for hooking us up with so much rad gear!

On top of the sponsorship goods love, we had some craftiness with a custom banneresk quilt hand made by local supporters!  Pretty rad and unique.

As the time came to smash the streets, Mr. Dustin Hoover entertained the crowds with his bicycle trickery!

Ah, the prized trophies!  Unfortunately I was busy keeping everything dry when it came time to distribute the goods to the winners. A short, convenient downpour graced our presents right when it was time to announce the winners.  I’m sure one of the two photographers that were in attendance will have some better shots. I’ll keep you posted as they present themselves.  We also had a hand full of racers hooked up with GoPro’s!  Can’t wait to see the edits from that!

This was an absolute blast to be a part of and helped build the cycling community in the BAMA area.  This will most definitely be one of many events Folly will be involved in this winter/year to come.  Thank you all who helped out and supported this event, I can’t say it enough!  Cheers!

Texas knows what’s up with some Cyclocross love!

What is TXCX all about?

Dosnoventa Presentation from CREAM Bikes & Things on Vimeo.

This video only further affirms my love for Dosnoventa!  So much passion, style and ultimate beauty!  Not really sure how I missed this rad video from 8 months ago, but I sure didn’t overlook the tweet you just sent out Dosnoventa!  Thank you for brining this to our attention.  Ride x Create

To Water The Infernal Gardens from AJ Austin on Vimeo.

I LOVE getting emails from AJ because they always have the best edits attached to them!  “Kinda late and nothing special” my ass.  AJ killed it, and himself in this edit.  Thank dude for thrashing so hard and sending vid love our way!  Keep’em coming sir. Ride x Create

**Make sure to check out Milwaukee Bicycle Co. to pick up some rad bikes/gear!

I’m falling in love with this spot!  The longer I sat there (after my tastey beverage) the thought hit me… this is a perfect location to set up a Cyclocross course.  More to come on that later. 

As always, never leave home without a trusty beer prop to hold your board or bike as you capture it in all of its beauty!  You never know when inspiration is gonna hit you; therefore you should always have a brewski on hand; whether it be a can or a bottle, keep it on your person at all times.

I hope your Friday work is minimal and short lived.  I hope your creative juices have been simmering in your brain bucket all week only to be released full speed ahead into whatever Ride x Create venture you dominate this weekend.  Cheers!  Feel free to tag us on your Instagram feed #RidexCreate so we can share in the ride x create vibes!
