BOOYA!!  Check out this dope recap from FIXIEFAMOUS of The King of Vegas Race we were fortunate enough to be a small part of!  Peep our Folly Fun Deck (3:40) given to one lucky winner who is now filled with the Ride x Create vibe!  Check out TRAFIK for photos and an indepth write up on the race.    

Also, check out TRAFIK’s dope new shirt they dropped during Interbike!  So sick!!

Duplex Lever

The Duplex Lever is a single brake lever that pulls on two brake cables simultaneously. It was originally designed for bike polo players, to allow them to use both brakes while swinging a polo mallet with their free hand. Since its introduction the Duplex has generated considerable excitement among adaptive cyclists as well.” – Paul Component

Sick!  I’ll be keeing an eye out for any gnar polo players using these suckers at South In Yo Mouth this Saturday.

Well hello there…  Deaf Pigeon just got their dope jersey’s in.  I believe each one is already accounted for via a preorder that they offered before production.  Make sure to send Deaf Pigeon some love and support for more of these Deaf Pigeon vibe filled jerseys, as well as, more cycling apparel in the future.  I’m sure these won’t be the last.

SHREDWELL TWO NYC Premier

BOOYA!!  So sick, and jealous, that once again I won’t be able to attend. If you’re in the NYC area definitely take advantage of this dope premier night at Chrome NYC with Grime Bikes SHREDWELL TWO x Free Beer!!! Get hyped, it’s gonna get awesome.  Can’t wait to see this vid for myself.

BÖIKZMÖIND in HD

Downloaded this a couple weeks ago and just now getting around to posting about it.  I love this documentary!  One of the best I’ve seen in a while.  The behind the scenes extras you get for the $10 download is pretty rad.  On top of being able to watch on your computer, it is very easily transferable to your iphone as well.  This lets you get hyped on fixed gear culture no matter where you are.  Head on over to BÖIKZMÖIND to download your own copy!  Ride x Create    

 

BAMAcross

Next week starts the beginning of BAMA’s Cyclocross season.  I had the opportunity to hang with a couple dudes during today’s training session.  I’m looking forward to racing myself this year as well as hook you guys up with an inside look at BAMAcross.

Also, don’t forget that next week is the South In Yo Mouth bike polo tournament!  We will be there in full effect with banner, boards, stickers, shirts and installing the Ride x Create vibe throughout the land.  Look forward to that!  Come out and support!!

The Situation

Yeah I know, I just double posted about Cadence.  I got motivated.

I’ve had Cadence’s Situation 5 Panel for about two months, and am falling in love with it the more I put this sucker on.  It wears a little different from your traditional 5 panel, not because of the cut so much as the fabric used to make them.  Its a light weight cotton that is very moldable.  Very similar to a cycling cap if you will.  I believe this is one of the multifaceted purposes the Situation offeres to your head gear wearing demands.  The bill is one of a traditional ball cap which makes for a cool contrast from moldable to structured design.

I got up early this morning after 8 days of absolutely no activity (due to cold) and decided today is the day to take a leisurely cruise around town; taking advantage of this custom cap, the beautiful morning sun and some photo action.   

As you know, I’m a big supporter of DKlein and the work he presents within Cadence as well as his art ventures.  Cadence was built from the ground up and that motivates me.  Perspective, creativity, and a desire to make something the world has never seen seems to be the theme of Cadence and that resonates with me.

I hope everyone has had a great and creative weekend.  Make sure to go check out Cadence for more custom, creative, made in the U.S.A. products that will hopefully spark a creative idea or motivate you to make something for yourself that the world has never seen.  Ride x Create
