🎉Happy National Tortilla Chips Day!⁠ ⁠ 🫓

🎉Happy National Tortilla Chips Day!⁠
⁠
🫓Tortilla chips were initially an afterthought, a simple snack made with leftover tortillas. But these crispy triangles of deliciousness soon became a nationwide sensation, and each February 24, we celebrate these salty snacks with National Tortilla Chip Day.⁠
⁠
👉🏼 Whether you eat yours plain, smother them in fresh 🥑 guacamole or dip them in a spicy salsa, tortilla chips bring the fiesta to any occasion! We love them as a mid or post bike ride snack paired with some salty margaritas 🍹and cycling friends! How do you like yours?⁠

⏰ What time is it? It’s BIKE time of course! ⁠
⁠
🤩 We were pretty excited to create this custom clock for our friends Rick & Alicia. They found the perfect place to hang it too! ⁠
⁠
♻️ Created from up-cycled bike parts and other materials it’s the perfect addition to home decor for any cyclist. It looks great in a workout room, but also has a little modern farmhouse style that will be a perfect addition to any other room in your home! ⁠
⁠
👉🏼 Want one for your home? You’re in luck! We ended up having enough materials to make two clocks so if you’d like to own it, act fast, we can’t keep them in stock! ⁠
⁠
📩 DM or Email us for pricing and details! Clock measures 26”X26” or 2ft 2” by 2ft 2”. ⁠

Self-expression and cycling go hand in hand. Rose

Self-expression and cycling go hand in hand. Rose loves to add a little bit of the "bike" to everyday fashion and turn it bike style! ⁠⁠

Today's #bikestyle is a work from home favorite combining Fabletics leggings, and a simple coordinating blouse with RYLU's sway earrings and a Rylie style necklace. ⁠⁠

⁠⁠
The Rylie necklace is made of upcycled bicycle chain rollers, a premium quality 925 sterling silver chain that is nickel-free, hypoallergenic, and comes with a durable spring clasp. Chain width is 1.5 mm and is 18 inches long.⁠⁠

Meet RYLU's maker, John! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ John is not

Meet RYLU's maker, John! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
John is not only the owner of RYLU, he’s also the one who is breaking down chain and components, running them thru an extensive cleaning/polishing process and turning it all into your new favorite bike jewelry and home décor!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
John is an Iowa native and avid cyclist, having completed 23 RAGBRAIs, TOMRV and some cyclocross races. He enjoys riding the central Iowa trails with friends and family and has a garage full of bikes, which at last count was around a dozen! (Hey, we told you we believe in N+1)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Fun fact – John has a fully restored 1964 Schwinn Tiger cruiser bike hanging in his living room as “functional art”. This same bike inspired the design for RYLU’s first t-shirts!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
John is also a soccer coach, craft beer aficionado and enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking and kayaking.⁠⠀

🤩What makes RYLU Bike & Be You products special

🤩What makes RYLU Bike & Be You products special is that we're not just making something to "sell" with inexpensive components or mass-produced items. We're passionate about creating unique handmade things that incorporate a love of cycling into your everyday jewelry, apparel and surroundings. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🙌🏼We put our time, energy, and a passion for quality goods and service into everything we make and do. That process includes testing all the materials and apparel ourselves. You can be sure Rose or John has personally worn and/or tested every item before it was launched with hours of biking, sweating, and definitely a few craft beers. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
👍🏼If a material or product doesn't hold up or meet our high standards, we don't use it. It was through this process that we refined all our jewelry materials to ensure that everything is hypoallergenic, nickel-free utilizes stainless steel and 925-grade sterling silver. This means it's tarnish-resistant, with the tarnish resistance actually increasing over time! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Rose Willey - RYLU's self-proclaimed fashion model and marketing gal says...⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"I wanted bike jewelry that I could wear to work, dress up in with cute outfits, be fashionable, but also could coordinate with my favorite cycling kits. I wanted it to be not just multi-functional but really endure a hot sweaty bike ride or a 150-mile gravel race. Yeah, I wanted it all!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I've worn my RYLU bike jewelry on multiple Ragbrai's, hundreds of miles of gravel, in various types of bike races in addition to work, social functions, weddings and date nights. I love having a little bit of "bike" on me where ever I go!"⁠⠀

🗣We'd like to hear about your ride traditions and shenanigans, maybe we can adopt a few new ones for our next ride!⁠⠀
