WHAT! These are way rad!!

The big thing about this is that Chrome is the first to integrate reflectivity with camo.  This is a limited edition trifecta of Chrome, camo and reflective shit.  So reflective in fact that you will be visible on your night riding excursions up to 100 feet!  The Citizen, Orlov, and Victor are available in this very limited Made In USA combo. Once they are gone… THEY’RE GONE!

Go hook it up folks!  I promise you’ll be glad you did! 

(Chrome Info Side Note: Over 70% of their bags are made in Chico, California.  With the progressive decline in American manufacturing, Chrome is proud to make the majority of their bags in Chico, where the team brings over three centuries of experience in making quality products.)

I hope you enjoyed.

All #commuter snaps are taken and edited with an iPhone using VSCOcam and the LVI / LV2 Levi’s edition presets (if you haven’t added VSCOcam as your photo editing app of choice… you really should). 

Never not inspired.  I hope you are to.  Make sure to tag your snaps on Instagram #commuter to show your support for the Levi’s x VSCO collaboration.  I’ll also be tagging my commuter shots with #commuterscommute if you would like to check out my take on this very rad project!  

This makes my heart happy!  I’ve been following The 5th Floor since mid 2011.  Their growth is personally inspiring on several levels!  This approach to building a equally united cycling team (community) without hierarchical snobbery is so. good!!

“We’re stoked to be able to announce the launch of The 5th Floor NYC as a fully fledged multidisciplinary team, taking on the 2013/14 Cross, Track and Road season.  We’re looking forward to be working with some great domestic brands who we believe are making a positive contribution to the cycling world.  This is a team based on shared experiences and brotherhood rather than of hierarchy and expectation. We’re aiming to take a different approach to team and supporter relations and looking forward to documenting and sharing the progress with you.” – The 5th Floor

Head over to The 5th Floor to check out more info on the NYC Team gathering!  They’ve put together a rad little magazine for your info/viewing pleasure!

It’s official!  September 15th we are throwing a pre-season opener to the cyclocross season!  This will be held in the beautiful Wheeler Wildlife Refuge of North Alabama.

Last year I raced in a handful of the BAMAcross series.  So much fun!  They throw one hell of a good series.  With that said, we (North Alabama folk) have to travel further south to attend these races.  It really isn’t a big deal, but It was a quandary as to why we didn’t have any races further up in the state.  There is so much love here for said cross racing… So, It was time.

Why Wheeler? Why FOLLYCROSS?     

Last Fall I was riding a lot in Wheeler with Davis Yarbrough and friends. I fell in love with the area.  Davis got amped on our Folly Kit pre-order and sprouted the idea to throw a cyclocross race in our own backyard.  He would spearhead the event, we (FOLLY) would be prime sponsors and grab as much sponsor love as we could, local and afar… Well, Davis ended up having other obligations to dominate like the responsible fella that he is, and here we are today… FOLLYCROSS was born!

Sponsor Love!

Yup… we would love to put your fancy logo right up on the flyer above!  Why? because you’re cool, we like you and we would love to further promote the radery you’ve been working hard to build!

Who Are Your Current Sponsors?

Right now we have a few sponsors lined up.  Blevins Bicycle Co., Southern Carnage Mobile Bike Repair, UPNESS, and Straight To Ale! (Editor’s Note: Their logos will be added shortly)

There you have it folks!  I hope you will come out and support, race, drank good drink and mingle with us hooligans.  Go to our Event Facebook Page for more information and updates.  I promise a good time and a great kick off to the Cyclocross Season!  Cheers!
