fixed and focused on a Steam Roller

Today was a very interesting day i put in a few street miles had to do some office work well better yet a meeting  and got to see a young man that go's by the name of ALEX J who i saw while a work one day on his Steam Roller fixed gear bike. I told him that i would like to shoot him riding for the blog to show some of the readers who really dont know what trick riding better known to me as hard corp riding (lol) see A fixed bike is in motion all the time and if you dont have the stamina then you would not want to even try it. If you have an injury of sort with your legs foot ankle HELL anything that may hurt you  this is a bike you dont want to mess with, there is a veriation of this style of bike which comes from the OLD SKOOL which is single speed befofre most of these cats were born. i have one of these and with brakes. Did i mention most fixed bikes have no brakes at all perpetual motion with no brakes hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! can you say no thanks! Any who i met a young man named Alex J who began to show me some tricks on his bike today the pictures embeded here are just a small view of what i saw you actually have to see these guy's ride to appreciate what they can do on an ol bike as the old folks use to say...

I shot a little Video of alex also when i get it all loaded in i will post the vids also but intil then take a look at what i call seriously rude hard corps riding i could neva ride like this and ALEX J makdes look easy. thanks Alex for your time and energy hope you enjoy keep the the rubber side down man!

On the journey of a life time


A thing as simple as a bike ride. You bike riderz understand that when you get on your horse(lol)with your own horse power you may start off on a journey that may be the same as any other journey but by the time your finished you will have been somewhere else. Being a TRU STREET RIDER means that younavigate your way through the streets of you city,town,neighbor hood,ect, and you become the captian of a vesile that can move you at the speed of flowing traffic around you or as slow as your young one learning to navigate for the first time non the less your the captain and no one person can navaigate your ship like you can. thats why we all choose the bikes that we do we alla have different needs. it seem simple got to the local mall pick a bike mainly by color and or size buy it. Well nope! thats how some folks see it but TRU STREET RIDERZ  pick their vesile based on their particular need and the go as far as measuring the foot pressure, to how much time your going to spend in the saddle. PLUS! on this day T.S.R have a wonderful journey and keep the round side down!

OHIO IS FOR LOVERS


It say's on the License plate in the great state of OHIO that ohio is for lovers,what they didnt say was lovers of what. Was it the Buckeye! or something else. Well as far as i'm concerned it was The UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI (BEARCATS) the love of many different terrains, and being a place where as a child i got to experience many different things and people. I was born there.

  Like this person your looking at now Ohio native Doug Frederick who i met today who is from a little small town in Ohio called Darrtown,Ohio Most of you never even heard of some pretty prominant cities in ohio so i know you know nothing of this place. Anyway in meeting Doug in the rain at work he was on his bike like in TRU STREET RIDER would be but he was looking for a place to put it while he took care of his personal buisness. I quickly assured him that it would be fine for 2 reasons 1 was i was going to keep an eye out for him, the other is i am a rider also and i wouldnt want to worry about mine.With that Doug myself and another co-worker began to speak about riding and come to find out that the He has been riding for over 20plus years, he also races which i already figured but more impressive than that he has ridden cross country a dream that i pray one day i could accomplish. Doug states that riding saved him, form what he said could have been anything. "if it were'nt for riding i dont know what i would have been into" Doug Has been featured on the Cover of Bike Nasbar Magazine 1993 Sept,Oct. he toured The World Famous LeTour de France. Dougs cross country ride started in LA where he put his rear tire in the ocean to symbolize the tip of the ocean began and finished in Boston Ma. where he dipped his Front tire symbolizing the end. "WOW" in my opinion that is the ultimate!  As far as i'm concerned there would be nothing else to proove unitl the next time there was something else to proove. I could have talked to doug all day but of course time did not permit,but i thank Doug for the time that he gave to this blog and you readers, thats what this is all about TRU STREET RIDERZ those who go out and do it on the road,dirt,hills,track and or mountains.you got to love this. O' and RIDERZ we dont do this with gas or electricity, pure muscle power that seperates us from alot of others. (LOL) just having fun i love and respect all RIDERZ! well thats my opinion  TSR i'm not telling it's right i'm just saying it's MINE!

MAGNIFICENT


T.S.R. how are you this morning hope that your evening was great and your things to do were few(lol) Well it has come to my attention that a ride is upon us something i really only heard about although i have been riding for years i have never followed a community of riderz which is why i chose to create this blog...

  CRITICAL MASS i believe it is called and it is the last friday of the month nation wide or world wide now i will find out more info about this ride all i know is that i'm truly interested in it and i will bring it to you as i get it. If any of you know more about it then advise me here i am not the best knower. thanks T.S.R. SPEAK AT YOU LATER...

TRU STREET RIDERZ

See What i'm saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11


NOW see here we go just what i'm talking about. Last week a good person who i met while at work who has given me many insights on biking as well as others who stops and talks to me often, and is genuinely a nice guy was riding his personal bike down one of our local streets, while coming to a stop light behind the cross walk (lol) he sat waiting on the light to turn green when the turning lights turned to go left one veh was making its turn and another vehicale(according to him)tried to make the light and hit the other car on his side,which in turn pushed the other car who was in the right of way into our rider...

  Now of course being a regular rider he was aware of his surroundings and saw it comming (like all ggreat riderz would) lol. He"stated" i looked for away out and then "BOOM" i was hit. he also stated that his head hit the vehicle and did alot of damage to the vehicle but thank goodness he was wearing his helmet!(OK EVERYONE WE KNOW YOU CAN RIDE SO CAN HE, BUT GET A HELMET THEN WEAR IT).

  Fortunate for our friend he was not to badly hurt his pride and his courage allowed him to get up and move forward but if you look ad some of the bruses he has i think more was hurt than his pride, but he'll never tell(lol) But i'm glad our friend was able to come and tell his story to me and i'm glad he's not bike shy now as you can see from the pics he's back at it a week later.  As i say the purpose of this blog is to try and bring more awarness to the community and surrounding area of the who,what,why and where of riding, and if any one would like to share there thought and idea's with the Tru Street Riderz then let us know we welcome all that is to be said as long as you know what your talking about... Now if you dont ride and you havent been on a bike since The day's of Moses then i dont want to here it. Under no circumstance can you speak on riderz until you've been there and done that now i'm not tellling you that this is law i'm just saying it's my opinion it dont make it right IT JUST MAKES IT MINE!

WELCOME RIDERZ TO THE NEW REVIEW

Thank you for blogging with me. This blog spot was created to inform you about the bike riderz in the area and surrounding area. i being one of the riderz think that we should have a place to go when we want to ask a question make a statement or other wise find out whats going on in the community your in. Tru Street riderz is more than a blog spot it is an upcomming photo documentary of the people who ride for fun,transportation,health,relaxing,racing,and sport. Then you have those Extreme riderz who ride with extreme prejudice(lol) i call those tricksters most people call the fixed riders. Any way i hoppe that this relatioship we are building will last for a long time and i hope that we can help one another to become better riderz and safer riderz. The streets are not safe so we need to fight for the right to ride safely. Until then where that helmet,put on a reflector vest,and try not to ride at night but if you commute then Lighten up for real. thanks again and lets. Ride
