Mission Workshop: Torre Merino Wool

Wool

Wanna stay warm… American made option just presented itself.

Mission Workshop: Made In USA

“From the initial design and prototyping to the actual manufacturing and finishing, every step of our bag’s production goes down right here in America. Domestic manufacturing allows us to be hands on with every single iota of our product’s evolution, giving us the ability to evaluate and fine tune each step of the fabrication process and assure quality in every stitch.”

Cadence: Sale Section Updated

Cadence Sale Update

Super sale update, and with a solid tip of the week… BOOYA!!

“Tip of the week: Tuck it in!

We have all been there before: Out and about having fun next thing you know its colder then expected and you dont have any more layers to warm up with.
Solution:
Tuck in your shirt! A lot of body heat escapes from the bottom of your shirt. This can be as effective as adding an extra layer over top.
Simple easy warm!” – Cadence

 

JLizama: Fixed Gear Calculator

FGC

Fixed Gear Calculator by Jesus Lizama

So this is rad!  Jesus Lizama doin work!!  If you’ve ever searched the interwebs wanted to do your homework on your fixed gear output/ratio then you know you’ve been left disappointed.  Good’ol Jesus saw a need and designed a rad program to meet your needs.  By computer or phone, you will never be left knowledge-less in your current/next fixed gear ratio.

Thanks for creating this Jesus!!  So rad bro!  Ride x Create vibes!!

“The Fixed Gear Calculator was developed by Jesus Lizama (@jebuslizama). Jesus is a designer, developer and rider, currently sponsored by Leader BikeTRAFIK, and El Maestro Bicycle Shop.

The purpose of this app is to give riders a quick way to look up gear inches for their current and future setups. Gear inches refer to the distance your bike travels per rotation of the crank.

Choose your gear ratio wisely. The bigger the number, the more top speed you can achieve, but it will affect your climbing and acceleration.

This app is still in Beta so stay tuned for future updates. To contact Jesus you can hit him up at hello@jldesignloft.com” – Jesus Lizama

I had a conversation with Brenton a few months back about his level of photography.  I mentioned that between him and SteedZ, my personal ability to capture a few rad shots here and there has dramatically increased.  I expressed my appreciation for helping me develop an eye for these thing, and told Brenton that he is one rad photographer… His swift response was “I’m not a photographer… I’m a designer with a camera!”  It put a smile on my face.

Fun little stories like this further show that creativity is not something that you can section off… it’s something that will influence your life and those around you whether its through your specific creative talent or not. 

Make sure to go and check out Mr. Little’s featured shots over at iGNANT!  The photo above is only one of many rad shots featured on iGNANT!  Oh, and don’t forget to follow BLittle on IG (@brenton_clarke).  Cheers!! Ride x Create
