Dosnoventa Presentation from CREAM Bikes & Things on Vimeo.

This video only further affirms my love for Dosnoventa!  So much passion, style and ultimate beauty!  Not really sure how I missed this rad video from 8 months ago, but I sure didn’t overlook the tweet you just sent out Dosnoventa!  Thank you for brining this to our attention.  Ride x Create

Hill Side Love

I’m falling in love with this spot!  The longer I sat there (after my tastey beverage) the thought hit me… this is a perfect location to set up a Cyclocross course.  More to come on that later. 

As always, never leave home without a trusty beer prop to hold your board or bike as you capture it in all of its beauty!  You never know when inspiration is gonna hit you; therefore you should always have a brewski on hand; whether it be a can or a bottle, keep it on your person at all times.

I hope your Friday work is minimal and short lived.  I hope your creative juices have been simmering in your brain bucket all week only to be released full speed ahead into whatever Ride x Create venture you dominate this weekend.  Cheers!  Feel free to tag us on your Instagram feed #RidexCreate so we can share in the ride x create vibes!

Creativity to Fruition

This last week I’ve had a good bit of think tank time.  Most people have filled their day with odd x end tasks, whether they be by choice or forced upon them; and neglect their inspiration, creativity, a hill side beer on a beautiful Fall afternoon, etc.  I challenge you fine folks to break free of the norm this week and get some solid think tank time in.  My hope is that your mind may clear, for that inspirational spark to take hold, and bring beautiful creativity to fruition.  Cheers, Ride x Create

Great photo’s fellas!  Tis the season for some camp vibes x adventure seeking.  Although it is only Wen., maybe start thinking of what creative x adventurous journey you can go on this weekend.  I know I am.

 

Chrome’s Tokyo LTD

“When I started this project, I didn’t know anything about Chrome and what a messenger bag is. I learned from my apprentice that Chrome is a brand that is deeply connected to the bike and skateboard culture also. Nowadays, tattooing is considered more of a fine art than it was in the past, modern tattooing has become a blend of street culture and sub culture.” – IKEBUKURO HORITOSHI1
 
I am a huge fan of the Yalta, and now you can have a mondo piece to add to your bag collection!  This Yalta transcends and urban cycling/skating beer carrier status.  It truly is a collection piece with art from Horitoshi1 that is 47 years in the making. 
 
Make sure to check out the Chrome Tokyo Series that also consists of their Citizen; as well as, the history behind this collaboration and Ikebukuro Horitoshi1’s story!  Ride x Create 
 

Finger Whale: Illustration Brought to Wood

Had a blast this weekend bringing Mr. Little‘s illustration to wood.  I didn’t get as much riding in as originally planned, but the outcome of creativity was well worth it. 

I had come upon this used piece of 4×6 3/4 in. plywood and brought it to Brenton Little’s attention that I want to make something mondo with it.  He immediately responded with the illustration of his “Finger Whales“.  Although it’s not the complete illustration, this was a challenge and I dig it. 

I loved working on this project and looking forward to creating the next Illustration Brought to Wood.  Happy Monday Folly friends. Ride x Create
