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

TRAFIK is RAD

TRAFIK x RWBThey 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.
