Holy. Shit.

Yup, you just saw the most bad ass touring bike on the market.

 You’re welcome!

Make sure and head on over to Firefly Bicycles FB Page to catch more radness like this!  Promise you wont be disappointed.

100% American made!  This is a really rad combo.  Make sure to pre-order yours while you still can.

Also, don’t neglect other mondo products from Cedar Cycling!  They look like a really solid company!

“I’m not even gonna’ try to hide it anymore, the people I put on the Fairdale team are really just plain awesome people” – Fairdale

SO RAD! 

They really are!  TRAFIK was one of the first companies to help get Folly out into the world. I’m personally very thankful for the love and inspirational spark that has helped us get to where we are today.

TRAFIK has put a shit ton of time and effort into their own endeavor, and it has been very consistent and progressive!  Take this solid step into housing their rad gear in Road Warrior Bicycles (who is FULL of the Ride x Create vibe by the way) for example… pursue your passion and believe in what you are doing.  Don’t sell yourself short or be lead astray by your inner jackassery demons.  Shoot them in the head and push on!

My personal thanks TRAFIK!  You guys are most definitely mondo!! Keep riding.  Keep creating.

“Go Ape Shit!”… well do it already.

Art by Krys Blakemore

You want some inspiration… here you go!  Rad art from Krys Blakemore! 

If you remember correctly, we mentioned Krys early last year when 718 Cyclery put out an invite to the cycling community to help her financially as she recovered from a horrible wreck.  Her “Zombie robot leg” as she refers to it, seems to be moving on the up and up.  Nevertheless, I’m sure she has a long road ahead of her. 

Make sure to check out her rad site with mondo “illustration and other things”.  Also don’t be shy of her Instagram (@krysblakemore) for an inside look at art in progress. 

Thanks for the inspiration Krys!  I hope all is well. Ride x Create

LET — GO — ON from Bikeminimalism. on Vimeo.

“We had the pleasure of working with KRNKY on a quick and dirty film shot during the last days of this summer. The temperatures were dropping to somewhere around +5C° but our masked rider soldiered on nevertheless.  Let this serve as a reminder to LET GO of the summers gone. And GO ON, ride into the new year.  We truly hope you people out there enjoy this as much as we do.” – Bikeminimalism

This is very rad, motivating, and introspective.  Great work Bikeminimalism!  Really dig this. 

Happy Friday Folly friends!  I hope this weekend serves you well.  Good food, drink and friends always does my heart good.  I hope to have a bit of all of that, along with inspiration of a new project and miles dominated on the road. Ride x Create
