We’re proud to be a 2022 sponsor of the Velorosa Cycling Team and a donor for the annual Sip & Swap benefiting the Des Moines Dream Team and Urban Bicycle Food ministry DSM.

The evening, hosted by Jasper Winery and open to the Des Moines cycling community, raised almost $3000 and collected a significant amount of cycling apparel and gear to be repurposed or re-homed.

If you were outbid at the auction, but are interested in purchasing a clock or bike jewelry be sure to visit our website or send us a message for a custom build!

RYLU Bike & Be You is grateful and proud to have been a part of the success of the Break the Cycle 200 inaugural Gala of Hope.

The Gala of Hope raised over $49,000 to continue to fund investigative teams here in Iowa and beyond that are working to bring an end to modern slavery.

RYLU was asked to donate for the silent auction and create key custom key chains for the event attendees. We’re honored to have contributed and to be a link in helping break the cycle of human trafficking.

We're declaring it T-Shirt Tuesday! Is there anything better than a soft t-shirt with a bicycle on it?

We don't think so! As a matter of fact we're certain that we've got what's about to be your new favorite bike t-shirt!

Featuring a vintage 1964 Schwinn bicycle and the state of Iowa, this crewneck blend is super soft & pre-shrunk. Available in four color options, vintage or cardinal red, indigo or storm blue and military green.

It’s been a while since we’ve said “Hello”

It’s been a while since we’ve said “Hello” 👋🏼 and we’ve had a-lot of new followers and customers in the last several months this seems like a great time to re-introduce ourselves!

We are John & Rose, nice to meet you!

John is owner & the maker of all things. It’s a common misconception that Rose makes the jewelry. Nope, but she does inspire some of the designs, gives style feedback, helps brainstorm and of course is happy to model it. She also often gets in a little trouble for treating herself from the inventory, but prefers to think of it as product testing. Rose is actually head of marketing, product testing & customer service.

As avid cyclists ourselves we know the joy bikes, bike friends and all things bike related can bring. We believe in N+1, at last count Rose has 7 bikes, John has 6 and the garage is full!

We fully embrace the opportunity to ride bikes, drink beers, have adventures and generally do awesome fun things as much as possible.

Fun Facts;
1. John’s ridden 21+ plus Ragbrai’s, Rose has ridden 9 and is hoping to make it 10 in 2022.

2. John has a 1964 Schwinn Tiger he fully restored hanging in the living room.

3. Rose has a 1966 Schwinn beach cruiser that she restored and won a Best Vintage bike award for!

4. The business name is a combo of John’s kids names (Rylie &Lucas).

5. Rose’s mini dachshund, Penelope, loves to go for bike rides in her backpack and can drink from a water bottle. She also doesn’t like to be last & will bark at Rose if she’s not upfront.

6. The tag line #BikeAndBeYou comes from our shared passion to create a lifestyle that embraces a love of cycling both on and off the bike.

7. We’re big fans of live music, but John doesn’t dance and Rose won’t give up trying to convince him to.

8. The original earring styles are named after John’s grandmothers.

9. Rose can eat more than John. She’s always “hungry”.

10. We both like whiskey. Like ALOT.

So hello, everyone! We’re grateful to our friends & followers for embracing our products & business. If you see us on the trail or biking around say hello!

It was a fun day at the Iowa Bike Expo for sure! We were over joyed to share our love of cycling and all things bike with our Ragbrai family & cycling community!

Highlights from the day include, repeat customers who stopped by to show us they were wearing their RYLU jewelry, new customers who immediately wanted to wear their purchases and talking about bikes and bike ride adventures for the coming year.

If you weren’t able to stop by, you can also shop us online at www.bikeandbeyou.com or visit our display at Bike World West.

We have two clocks left (a larger barnwood & metal clock & smaller bike parts only clock) right now, but are accepting orders for them. They’re not online yet so just DM us for details!

Thank you Iowa Bicycle Coalition & RAGBRAI for another fun event to kick off the 2022 cycling year!
