Get To The Top

imageKyle and I were headed back from a morning of meetings, riding, and shooting. On our way back to nab some lunch I see the Dallas skyline and inquire about getting on one of the roofs for a product shoot. Kyle says “hold that thought… I know a guy”. So… I hold that thought and no more than a couple quick calls later we’re cleared to go explore the Hyatt Regency building. Although the view was stunning, the location did not offer what we needed for the shot we were looking for. So we soaked in the beaming sun and the Dallas skyline on a rad rooftop location. Not bad at all. image

Riding x Creating With SteedZ

imageI’ve had the pleasure of visiting the rad state of Texas this week and chill with my main damie Kyle. It’s always refreshing to meet up, ride x think creatively for the future of FOLLY as well as with new folks and companies to make cool things go down. Between Austin x Dallas these creative meet ups seemed endless.

Below are a few of the hot spots Kyle and I have cruised around. We did our best to capture the vibe. There are a lot of locations I’ve left my iPhone memory blank only to fill rolls of film to be developed once I return home. Those will be the next level… I hope.

Ocean Air Cycles x Swift Industries // Redefine The Randonneur Bag

OAC“The Docena Demi-Porteur bag brings contemporary design and technical fabrics to the randonneur front bag. The Docena bridges the gap between a tall rando style front bag and a full sized Porteur bag.  Designer and owner of Ocean Air Cycles, Rob Perks, pushes traditional standards by widening and adding height to traditional randonneur dimensions, and by incorporating design elements from the technical outdoor industry.

Specs: Dimensions of the main compartment are 28cm tall x 21cm deep x 30 cm wide. Designed fit 1 dozen eggs, and deep enough front to back to fit a second dozen as needed.

Outstanding Features: External u-lock pocket, internal partitioning panel, roll closure front access opening, top flap with vinyl map window allows touch activation of smart device screens.

Small batch production: The Docena Demi Porteur Bag is sewn by Swift Industries exclusively for Ocean Air Cycles. Martina Brimmer, lead designer and owner of Swift Industries, worked closely with Perks to draft the highest quality, lightweight rando bag on the market. Swift Industries is recognized within the bicycle industry for expert design and small scale in-house production.

Ordering: Preorder live from September 2nd to September 20th, 2014. Limited to 15 piece batch.” – Ocean Air Cycles
