Bandit Cross: Ruining It For Everybody from Quality Bicycle Products on Vimeo.

Not really sure how I overlooked this from eight months ago, but I did.  Great motivating story!  I believe people find excuses to not pursue what they love.  I know I have; and it really makes no sense.  I reckon it could be from fear of failing or anxiety of “how much work is this gonna be really?”.  If it’s your passion, your heart will be in it, and it will work out just fine regardless of its level of “success”.  The success is that you are following your passion and fighting the hesitation demons!

In closing to this fine sermon… In the words of John Watson “December is a rough month for finding content, that’s why you should just make your own!” So true.  With that said, if you have any cool Ride x Create vibe filled content… feel free to share with us via email (createfolly@gmail.com), twitter or instagram (@createfolly).

FIXED ‘n’ CHIPS 2012 from BÖIKZMÖIND on Vimeo.

“FIXED ‘n’ CHIPS was a fixed gear bike alleycat race here in Bristol, UK with each of the 5 checkpoints being a Chip Shop. The race was all based on points, so the fastest to each checkpoint would receive 10 points, the second fastest receiving 9 points and so on. However, each rider could choose to stop and order a battered sausage or pot of mushy peas and receive a special 5 points bonus points card. The risk in doing that lay in time… do you stop for a sausage or grab whatever points you can and try and get to the next checkpoint quickly for a possibly 10 points!?” – BOIKZMOIND

This looked like an absolute blast!!  Great job BOIKZMOIND for putting this on! Make sure to head on over to BOIKZMOIND to check out more about this rad event, as well as check out their other dope vid’s and gear!  Cheers!

I’ve seen a few of these rad shots via John‘s (@johnprolly) x Argonaut Cycles (@argonautcycles) Instagram; but this one from Mr. Watson’s Tumblr page takes the cake.  Such a beautiful creation. 

Make sure to check out Argonaut Cycles about page.  It has a great vid on how they came to be and the level of American made quality they put into their creations.  Ride x Create
