Bicycle designer

Time ago, I started to introduce myself into the fixed bikes world, and since that moment I have not stopped. Like I say in an older post, I really like to ride a bike and I absolutely love ride a fixed bike. Along with this feeling I tarted to search and research about how begins all of this and the differents kinds of bikes, finding that exists a looooot! One of my favourites are the low pro (like the picture at the end of the post), what was design with just one idea and I quote  "this machine was built to go fast", and can comply with his proupose thank to a bicycle designer, who analyzed the body geometry and of course the bike geometry to complement with all aspects of the body measurements.

  When I read the first time about this kind of work I thought it was a really cool and easy job, but with the time I realized that you have to know a lot of anatomy and also know about desing technics. After I noticed all this I started to think this could put together things that I really like, what are the body anatomy -inspired by my brother, now a medician-, a personal hobby -ride a bike- and something that I always do and love, design.

Obviously it is difficult to enter into this world of bicycles because it is very selector and are only a few opportunities to get inside. Also the ciclyng in Chile it is not a popular sport and almost always it is practice only by persons who have a good economic situation, limiting the entry to person with few resources.

Nevertheless a few years ago a group of chileans, friends and architects create the most important company of fixed bike in South America, theirs become so popular that persons of other countries come to Chile just to buy or see theirs creations. This group call their store and bike group Kamaleon Bike , and regrettably a year ago they close the store because now are dedicated to enjoy theirs bikes and also they jump to another level, starting to design motorcycles, changing the name to RAM. This change has been difficult, but not all in life is easy.

I hope to get to this level onde day.

Be a part of another culture

Well, one of my ambitions it is know to many cultures and languages that I can to learn, preferable from countries of the other side of the world, like Africa or Asia, some countries that the people not even know about they exist. But my ambition it is not just learn about them and come back to Chile, it is more than that, it is about living with these persons, know theirs stories, and be one more of them, be treated like one of them. 

Learn a language or learn something about a culture doesn´t mind that you can be a part of it, and my ambition it is over that. I know it is a difficult process, but I've always wanted be part or something that essentially can not be.

One of the reason that I want to achieve this, it is because I think one of the importants things in life are the relationship between humans, and while passing the years, the all society has been changing, and the persons don't want anymore be related whit other persons, all perfers text a message by wassap, or post on Facebook instead of enjoy a good conversation with a guy, maybe someone who doen't know. Are too many peoples that are afraid of share with someone who doesn't know, and I think it is something of the cultures, so I want to try to break this wall, and be the world a more friendly place to be.

About the person who inspired to me in this way of think, it was a vagabond with whom I spoked a time ago in the street. He have a way of view that change my mind in 180° degrees.
Fulfil this ambition will make me believe in a better world for all of us.
