NEW // FOLLY Hand Stickers

FOLLY Hand

We’ve seen a lot of folks with our older FOLLY hand sticker that they’ve cut out themselves… so we figured we would save you the time and go ahead and get these cut for you. 

These vinyl 2″ish x 2″ish are super primo with a nice matte layer on top to keep it stuck and protected for years to come wherever this little guy may end up.

I hope you dig.  Feel free to go pick up 5 for $5, and I’ll have them shipped in a jiff!

Cheers!! Happy Friday! 

Bike Mag x Mission Workshop // Ask A Founder :: Keith Bontrager

Keith Bontrager

Mission Workshop and Bike Magazine… never a bad combo. 

The “Ask A Founder” series is so good!  Kyle and I are the Founders of FOLLY and we run into struggles all time… how we want to be defined, what to create next, who to connect with, and the list goes on. It is NEVER a bad idea to learn from folks that have already been where we are currently, and ask questions on how to push past perceived limitations.  Bike Magazine and Mission workshop have made it very easy for you fine folks to do just that.  Get on good ol’ Twitter and #ASKBONTRAGER to ask Keith a question of your choosing… I will be. I’ve got tons of questions (don’t worry, I’m only gonna ask. a. couple…)

I hope you participate, and if you’re in the area, you should definitely attend… share a beer (I mean coffee because it will be 10 a.m.) and a few high fives.  Cheers!!

Cinelli BOOTLEG Tour d’Afrique 2013 – Hobo from CINELLI-BOOTLEG on Vimeo.

Tell me you’re not pumped to take a cross country ride after watching this!  My palms are sweaty with excitement!

“Hobo is a totally new steel frame bicycle, engineered and equipped for off-road rides on long distances, already proving itself along the adventurous 12.000 kilometres of the 2013 Tour d’Afrique. TdA is a world renowned endurance-race, now in its 11th edition. What better way for the hobo to announce itself to the world than with 3 distinguished Cinelli riders blazing across the African terrain.
Chas Christiansen, 100% pure San Francisco and one of the top riders of the Cinelli Mash Team, an iconic figure of the fixed-gear culture, always on the highest steps of Criteriums, Alleycats and Cyclo-Cross Single-Speed races podiums.
Lucas Brunelle, native of Boston, is an established filmmaker who introduced a unique first-person filming technique in cycling races thanks to his great riding skills and the innovative helmet-integrated camera-system. Lucas is responsible for filming and reporting the most extreme race contests all over the globe for more than ten years.
Dario Toso couldn’t miss out, designer and explorer of the contemporary and long-time ambassador of the ‘Bootleg State of Mind’.”

Cinelli Hobo

“Tour d’Afrique 2013 ended 1 month ago. I took part at the final leg from Windhoek to Cape Town with Chas Christiansen and Lucas Brunelle.  It was the perfect scenery for testing the Cinelli Hobo prototype.  We reached the TdA Group in Windhoek and rode with them along 1700 km of dirt, sand, wind and road. Definitely one of the best experiences of my life!” – Dario Toso
