O.M.G. the streetz were filled

OK 

you guy's i made it. i mean i had no doubt that i would,but the uncertainty of things alway's makes you wonder... WOW! this was a out Freeeeekin standing. We met up a Woodruff park started taking some shots and met up with my riding partner talk to and met some new TRU STREET RIDERZ  then it was on! we started out with 40/50 riderz... Wait a min let me go back a min. The day was dreary wet and a lot of  people didn't want to ride because of those facts. well some had maybe health reason's other's just well what ever. I was not going to mis this for any reason. the RIDERZ came out in MASSES Critical Masses lol we started out slow and smooth building our course as we were riding "remember this is my first CM" as we made our way down the street more riderz were adding on and on, by the time we got about 3/5miles out (projected) i looked backed and saw a sea of riderz... O.M.G. I'm stoked! as my youngest brother would say love ya DUDE! this was such a humbling experience for me. We continued to ride through the city and the CM crew were truly at large. I have a new found respect for anyone who rides not that i didn't have it before but for those who love riding so much that it consumes them even more than myself.... That's a strong feet. I met new riderz who who's bikes exceed the price of the average car drivers car. WOW! I am truly impressed with all riderz. I saw trikes old school trikes not new ones beach cruisers no gears wonderful female riderz strong and proud, MEN IN DRESSES that was funny! All n all my fellow T.S.R. this was the most invigorating thing that i have done in years that wasn't just me involved! I had a truly wonderful time and the Riderz were looking out for one another as it should be.  The whole thing about CM is to bring awareness to those who don't ride and drive even just to go 2 blocks to get some milk and eggs, get a little exercise save some gas, watch out for the ones who don't have cars respect them like you want to be respected. Look at it this way the domino effect, you'r a walker you walk every where,i'm a rider i ride every where, then you got the car drivers,suv drivers,then the commercial drivers. The car driver doesn't like it when the the suv driver bogart's their way in the suv doesn't like when the big rig just moves in because they can, and the pedestrian doesn't like it when the bike riderz are on the side walks. The only difference is us riderz ride in the streets to give you your space but then we as riderz get disrespected by you when you are diving your cars,so at what point do you make even for us?????

That is still a saga. So if everyone would just show a little love to the next person especially us T.S.R  we would all just get along wonderfully! don't you think! any who thanks to all the CM family world wide for this great event wonderful! Oh by the way i met and saw 1 ONE UNO LONE African American Woman rider last night WOW!  i just blogged about the lack there of but she represented on her old school 10speed BIG UP'S TO CLOVER! U GO GURL!

I WILL UPLOAD THAT PHOTO

Well to all of you i'm just telling you my opinion  as i see them i'm not saying that there right i'm just that there "MINE"

O.M.G. 2 FEMALE STREET RIDERZ

OMG

Tru Street Riderz hope all is well today! today was an interesting day. I did some good riding and met some new T.S.R. wow! you guy's would not believe it. In the pictures you see 2 young ladies Riding fixed bikes, if you are a rider of any kind you know that they are not cheap but more than that these are "LADIES" now i know some of you already know this but i have some new readers who don't know the difference from a race bike to a street bike let alone a fixed bike versus a single speed bike "LOL" no disrespect to anyone.

What i'm saying is these ladies ride regular and they are riding fixed i don't ride fixed knee's can't take it!!!!!!!!!! so for me to see to ladies riding fixed is a wow! statement. U GO GIRLZ!  Whats more interesting is that one of the ladies "did i mention she rides in HILL" i mean yeah you know hillz with a Z DAMN! her name is Pamela her partner in crime is Jessica and they were very gracious in letting me shoot them for this blog thanks P/J i call them SUPERWOMEN of the street riderz. See anyone can ride on a path,and anyone can build up their endurance to go off road but to navigate through the streets on a bike knowing others don't care about you in car's,trucks, suv's WOW! even pedestrian's get more love than T.S.R. any who i respect these ladie's and i love the fact that they roll like that stay ahead of the game and keep the rubber side down!

Well for all you T.S.R. you know tomorrow is  CRITICAL MASS i was unable to go before but tomorrow i may be able to go to my first one since coming back to GA and i am looking forward to it so get your gear on and see you there!

Street Navigator T.S.R.

Hey TRU STREET RIDERZ

Hope everyone made it home or to their places of rest this evening. another blessed day has come and gone and i find myself loading pictures and commenting on what i saw today. Well today is about STREET NAVIGATOR'S. What is a street navigator you ask, well that is an individual who rides his/her bike young or old big or small short or tall in any race or religion.through these streets here in this town and surrounding area's on a regular basis and have to deal with the traffic at large. Today i must admit in the Little 5 points area i saw some very courteous car/suv drivers allowing the bike riderz safe passage through the streets, allowing us to navigate at a rate that neither slowed us down or themselves. Really in little 5 points you see that a great deal until a Knuckle head who doesn't frequent the area or just being plain rude cutz us off and then thats when the disrespect starts. While in Decatur today before i got the Lil 5 i was almost run over twice because of rushing knuckle heads speed demons and i follow all the street laws. but any who we as riderz have continue to be very visual and hard corps never letting off our guard because all it takes is for one person to say i didn't see him/her and your done! so i just want to say to the wheelers show some love to us 2 wheelers because one day i might be someone you love trying to lose weight or even your self, or maybe even your child (god forbid) out there and someone may be doing what you have done to us to them then what would you say then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We don't want any one hurt so show some love, and cant we all get along!!!!!!!!!!!

T.S.R.

Much love to you all goodnight!

We have the technology

Hello my friends i have great news for you today my baby is finally back with me and so far doing well.  As you can see here is the new legs for my girl BOTTECCHIA they had to go in and replace her legs there was no way to fix her, so they replaced her legs with these new one's now she is bionic worth 6million, well to me anyway.. My man really hooked me up and did a good job. I'll turn you on to him if need be just ask. 

Well any way i want to thank you well wishers for me and my girl and i hope we have many more years together. O'Sole' Mi' Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Feeling Blue

Greetings:
  T.S.R. Today i have a problem it's a pretty good day outside high about 68degrees and sunny, my issue is i have no girl to take out! isn't that strange.

  I mean the other day i had a new girl and her and i was getting better acquainted and now she's gone my beloved Bottecchia is hurt still limping the specialist has to order her a special piece they don't carry them.

  So here i am alone again doing nothing can't go out and  hang out with Ma'lady at all.  I only wish that my girl Bottecchia was up and able to ride with me. Oh well i hope i can get her ready for the 31 we have a date with Critical Mass and we are looking forward to it. Until then i hope you T.S.R. keep the rubber side down.

THANKS
T.S.R.

my feelings are hurt

OK I HAVE A PROBLEM GUY'S TODAY MY HEART WAS BROKEN IN 2 PLACES. AS PER OUR LAST CONVERSATION I INTRODUCED YOU TO MY NEW GIRL FRIEND I REALLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER NAME WE LAUGHED TOLD A FEW JOKES BUT KNOW MY HEART IS FILLED WITH PAIN...

  MY NEW GIRL IS GONE WE RODE FOR 2 DAY'S AND SOMEONE NOW HAS HER OTHER THAN ME. IT REALLY SOUNDS WORSE THAN IT IS. YOU KNOW A GOOD THING DOSE'NT LAST FOREVER!
WELL LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WAS LOOKING FOR A BIKE WHEN I WENT BY HIS JOB HE ASKED ME WHERE WAS MY OTHER BIKE I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS IN THE SHOP I NEEDED TO GET MY CRANK FIXED BUT BECAUSE SHE IS ITALIAN SHE HAS A BIGGER BOTTOM BRACKET THAN THE NEWER BIKES AND HAS TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED. ANY WHO THE PERSON THAT HAS MY GIRL IS A GOOD PERSON AND HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR A BIKE FOR A WHILE AND I KNOW HE WANTS ONE SO I ALLOWED HIM TO PURCHASE HER. WELL I KNEW IT WOULD'NT LAST, IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED AND I'LL MISS HER..

GOOD BY MA'LADY AND KEEP MY FRIEND HAPPY HAPPY!

Why is that!

I got a question maybe one of you can answer a question for me, why is it that there are so few African American Women bike riders?

I ride daily and i ride for sport as well as health my love for the sport of riding has come from things that have occurred in my years overseas.

  But why is there so few A.A.W. riderz  i mean i'm not saying that there aren't any i'm saying not many... i ride just about everyday and to this day for a year in the Decatur/Atlanta area i have only seen approximately 5 A.A.W. riderz and i am looking, not just for them but for all riderz while i'm doing my shoots for the up and coming show. I believe this if more A.A.W. would ride and or learn how to ride they would find themselves in great physical condition great mind and body.  The great thing about riding is that it's low impact and you can build and gain at the same time without killing yourself. After that i know they A.A.W. would become more visible any who. Thats just my opinion it don't make it right it just makes it mine!
thanks for listing.

TRU STREET RIDERZ CAME OUT TO PLAY TODAY

TODAY IS JUST ANOTHER DAY

Yes Sir today came and went but it wasn't without it's joy's. Yes on this day i saw a lot of TRU STREET RIDERZ and they all looked good. i made my rounds down to the Riderz area and thought i was going to see a few common riderz but i saw the holy grail of riderz, i mean from regular cruisers to commuters from racers and health riderz to of course the fixed hard corps riderz.

I met a young man today who i asked if i could shoot while he was doing some light weight tricks and he agreed, i actually forgot his name " HEY MAN MY BAD " i should have wrote it down but i owe you one for that but  you will see him in the pictures on the fixed bike with the lime green rear 700c's Rims (lol) he was nice and was having fun riding. Thats what it's all about.

Even though a lot of people cant ride fixed with out brakes or even with brakes these guys' are like the Harley riderz of the bike world hard corps, and i respect them for that. In the images you see in the blog you will see tricks racers and some one riding to stay alive! and thats nothing to laugh at. Riding is what is keeping me healthy also and i have been doing it long enough to be in shape and i hope that the one's who are riding for their health continue. so who ever you are out there STAY ON THE STREETS AND BE A TRU STREET RIDERZ. and we got your back ok.  By the way there are more than one kind of bike also i for the first time in years seen a guy riding a Unicycle i for got about those. It was refreshing watching him ride it let me know that he was a better man than me just for getting on one... lol any who you guys have a great evening and don't forget to leave a comment and or your info if i have images of you ok i cant send them to you without it. and send all your friends...

Well T.S.R. thats my time for now i pray that i can see you on the next trip and always remember keep the rubber side down.

New Family Member

Greetings to all of you T.S.R. today is a great day, for i got myself a new girlfriend. She is a little Uncultured but thats alright, because i will do everything i can to make her like the supermodel i know that is hidden in side of her. Now you must remember my main girl BOTTECCHIA is the the 1 but she allows me to have another girl as long as it doesn't come between our quality time. Like right now she hurt her left leg and we cant go out right now, but she say's she doesn't want me to suffer because she cant go dancing, around the city. So she told me o take a new girl so if these things happen again we wont  have an issue. Isn't that nice!  I think that is very unselfish and thats why i spare no expense on her when she wants it she gets it. Don't you wish your GIRLFRIEND was hot like mine!


well later on today me and my new girl are going to hit the town and make it do what it do baby yea! So all you T.S.R. look out for us and i will be looking out for you and we will have the camera rolling also.

Tru Street Riderz  

Today i went to a great place to see T.S.R. and while i was therr i met some great people Daemon some good people in the bike shop i had a little snaffu with one of my cranks and some great customers were there also. 
 

I told them about T.S.R. and gave them a card and told them to log and leave a message and an email so i could get back with them they seemed interested and that's what it's about for me. I must thank OUTBACK for allowing me to use their tools. They could have been nasty and charged me but they didn't and they weren't. so thanks guy's 


  I met some other riderz out there also, there were some nice bikes and i met a fellow street rider who just  put is 700c's on his bike and was cruising i wanted to take some shots of him riding but i didn't see him again. Non the less i got some great shots of the people that were out and i also missed some but i assure you if i am of sound mind spirit and body i will get those great shots,and you will know when i do.

 
  So here are some shots i hope you enjoy them and i also hope that you tell a friend and bring some awareness to the T.S.R. Blogspot and help us prepare for our photo show. remember RIDERZ KEEP THE RUBBER SIDE ON THE GROUND AND GET A HELMET! 
 
Respect to you and your's
