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"

  1. Tru street riderz have always been out there. So glad you got to represent! There is so much love in cycling, we just need to show those afraid of no motor that its OK to power yourself through life. WE showed 'em good last night. And did you notice there was not one angry driver upset we were in there way?? Why is that? If we were by ourselves, could we say that? Mass is help the last friday of every month. See you next time.

  2. Truly Inspirational for me i ride like you because i want to but for those afraid your are absolutely correct,get out there ride with an experienced rider until you are ready to navigate alone then pick up your pace and keep the rubber side down...

    Oh! by the way buy a helmet when you get the Bicycle don't wait to late...
