we 3 kings!

LET ME CLEAR MY THROAT

Ladies and gentlemen i am a research agent for my self and for the last 6/8months i have been on a quest to find and create a pedal assist bike. I have been on almost ever site that has popped up looking for engines parts builders and things. 

What i have come up with is the TOP 3 company's, people, creators of pedal assist builders that showed themselves. Now im not saying that there are anymore out there i'm just saying show me 3 more company's with these looks these mods and based on this simplistic ideal and i will research them and put them up there also. Im sure there maybe someone out there but DAMN! they are going to have to be superb. I purchased a Grubee Skywawk GT5 thats what my pocket could afford,and i really like it so far. Now i have not been able to ride it because i am just a infant at building but i'm getting it together and learning as i go it may take me a couple more day's or maybe a week or 2 which would make the entire project about a month build but if i successfully do it then hey i'm the man. Remember i have never done this in my life so i'm happy with learning. anyhooooooo! check these out they are the hottest, and when i get some money i will have the pain staking job of choosing which one of these bikes to purchase first... Oh i have communicated with each one of these guys a couple of times and they are truly down to earth people and don't mind speaking with you so give them a call all of them have numbers on their site.

Remember i am a 

Tru Street Rider 

i ride about 60/100 miles a week no assist 

PHANTOM BIKES ARE 2 HOT!!!!!!!

man i got to get it

PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Tru street riderz i need your forgiveness.

even though i am the founder of T.S.R. I must confess to you one thing! i have a issue with where i'm and it's so far out the way and i have not other transportation but my beloved BOTTECCHIA. I have appointments with my Dr. regularly which is at least 17.5miles from me and no bus line with in 6.5miles of me all hills. and open hwy. 55mph. and for those of you who don't know me i am a disabled vet and it is a leg injury and back so i have issue some times. You know i ride... T.S.R Style. I only ask for your forgiveness when i build a hybrid similar to the one pictured here. i only hope that i get a pass on this from you,and i hope you all understand. please let me know by leaving a blog message explaining thanks for your support

T.S.R.

FIXIES roll like this

Now who gone ride like this

Now who's gonna ride like this? I ask you for Pete's sake and my too, although you know that the country is being blanketed with SNOW STORMS we are having a little snow fall like like DC, MARYLAND, OHIO, you know the rest of the story but enough to make you cautious about the people around you. Because they have truly lost their mind stores full no bread lines out the door, and the snow will melt by noon tomorrow...

Anyhoo the TRU STREET RIDERZ may have an issue because we, in dry conditions can't trust car drivers because we don't exist to them can you imagine what we would go through if we were on the road in these conditions... well i dont want to know some i'm going to keep my tail end off my BOTTECCHIA until the street's are clear if you have to ride please be careful TSR.

COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME

Greetings:
  I hope all my tru street riderz are doing well... Let's see Hmmmmmmmmmmm! i'm down the road from no where and around the corner form nothing. Where i'm located now you have no problem with putting in miles. it's so isolated that if your not careful you will end up so far out the way then you'll remember that you have to get back.

I love the area i choose this place about 2 years ago and i don't regret it but DAMN! when i ride i get so bored that i dont know what to do. I mean i road one day i'm not sure how far the only thing i know is that my energy level was zapped and i hadn't reach my location about a mile or two away,but i couldn't go any further, and i still had to return home.

Honestly i had to get off my bike and rest i was hot and spent even though it was not hot outside. I had to dress for the cool wind which was making my nose run and cool on my chest, i had gotten so hot that i got dizzy and stopped for about 5mikes...

Then i had to get back on and ride back which the MARINE in me would not allow me to stop but i sure took my good o'l time and my journey was up hill gradual for about 3-5mile so i exerted twice the energy going home. I say all that to say this after riding in the city with cars buses people stop lights ect for the past 2 years, becareful what you ask for because those long COUNTRY ROADS will ware your ASS out! WHEW!

Tru Street Riderz truly believe i love it and hate it at the same time...
be kind to your self and remember stay TRU.

TRU STREET RIDERZ for life


LOL THE PICTURE UP TOP IS WHAT I NEEDED TO MAKE THAT HILLY JOURNEY LOL
I CALL THOSE "CHEATERS"

HAPPY DARN NEW YEAR

IF YOUR READING THIS,THAT MEANS THAT THE LORD OF THE WORLD HAS SMILED UPON YOU YET ANOTHER YEAR. BE GRATEFUL!

Hopefully everyone is in great spirits over the new year and are trying to make themselves a better U!I have made some changes and hope to make some more changes here in the near future. Well today my fellow TRU STREET RIDERZ  i want to tell you about the new bike group that i met their name is OUTSPOKEN in Columbia S.C.i met a Gentlemen named Lane Philips an older gent very nice. When i walked into the store he was working on a bike,i didn't  ask for any assistance i was just looking around and he stopped and walked over to me and asked me did i need any help. I explained that i had just seen the sign and was looking for a place to maybe pick up a few things or if i needed mechanical work what were their rates. Mr. Philips broke everything down to me he was very soft spoken and knowledgeable. Not one time did he attempt to sale me WOW! see TRU STREET RIDERZ want to know they can trust who their dealing with. If it's about the sale and only the sale we know we can get it on line for less than half the price. Mr. Philips has truly earned a lot of respect from me and my business and i say if your ever in Columbia S.C. go to OUTSPOKEN and ask for Lane Philips and his crew and i'm sure you will be met with the same attention to de'tail as i was. 3223 Devine Street Columbia,S.C. 29205 web address.www.outspokinbicycles.com

thanks TRU STREET RIDERZ

O.M.G. I DIDNT BELIEVE IT!

O.M.G

If i wouldnt have seen it for myself i would have thought someone staged it.

Good day TRU STEET RIDERZ Yesterday while cruzing around the S.C.  i stopped at a place while waiting on family to handle some buisness and while we were there mid day i saw a pretty large size church and i said to,my people wow must be a big event or a funeral because everyone was dressed up. The thing that through me off was i saw a lady in a nice suite of course with a big hat but it (the suit)and hat were grey light grey. To me you dont wear those type of colors to a funeral but hey to each his own. I then saw some gentelmen come out the church in all black, i said to myself, self! self said huh! now thats strange why are they in all black?  I began to see alot of cars women and men leaving the church but for some reason i saw no flags or no dark suits,ect... but what was so odd then i saw an OLDER GENTLEMEN PUSHING A BIKE... not just any o'l bike but a old school framed bike with the grillia bars basket in the front and get this! AN 18WHEELER MIRRIOR ON HIS HANDLE BARS. O.M.G. i'm not lying! in this image you will see the meaning of the word TRU STREET RIDERZ and with that i say to you get your tail out and get some if this gentleman can ride (ELDERLY) in a black suit dress shoe's and a 18wheeler mirrior on his bike bigger than him then you can ride your little lazy but's for a couple of miles... By the way it was a funeral May the lord of the world bless the families for there loss.  everyone has a day please treat them all like there your last.

HERE IS A SITE THAT I BELIEVE YOU GUY'S MIGHT WANT TO SEE... O.M.G

i didn't know

I didn't know that the early 1900's William Hoefler was a gentlemen doing tricks on a bike that today we call Fixies.. I should have known this just because history has shown us that there is nothing new under the sun and the only thing new is your take on things.

The Wheel was created back in the caveman day's as it were,but we think it came about through another era. I personally being a T.S.R. am lost to somethings, as much as i know there is twice as much that i don't know about bikes.

You will see the bike that first started the fixie crazy,and then you will begin to understand the history like i have. Not that you don't know but just in case you don't you will game further knowledge. A day of learning is a life time of knowledge! enjoy...

do you know! do you know!

Wanting to know how was critical mass on the last of November. I wasn't there to on that journey did anyone make the ride,and how was it? hopefully it was a great ride and everyone was safe...

Gike if you went out on the ride tell me about it. hope all is well TRU STREET RIDERZ

Another Critical Mass

TOMORROW IS CRITICAL MASS

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? AFTER EATING ALL THAT TURKEY AND HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY TELL ME DO YOU FEEL VINDICATED? WELL I PERSONALLY THINK THAT YOU SHOULD GET ON THAT BIKE AND RIDE FOR A FEW HRS. AND GET BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE. REMEMBER YOU HAVE ANOTHER HOLIDAY COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THIS ONE SO LET'S GO SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT!

OOPS

I MADE A BOO BOO ON THAT LAST ENTRY. FORGIVE ME I NEVER TOLD YOU I WAS AN EDITOR. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO READ "NO OTHER TYPE OF EXERCISE WAS BETTER" THAN BIKE RIDING OTHER THAN SWIMMING. BIKE RIDING IS THE BEST,FOR LOW IMPACT...

EXCUSE PLEASE

A new breed of riderz

TRU STREET RIDERZ

My tru street riderz how are you today? all is well and i hope that you are all safe in the street's that you all ride on. I just want to explain to the readers about my personal opinion of what i see is happening on the streets.  I as a Tru Street Rider love the fact that the average adult 35plus years of age or older is taking better care of their health.  Most of this age group in the area where i dwell are out there jogging walking running swimming but mainly Biking is what i'm speaking about.  Biking is the best form of exercise, with the exception of swimming there is no type of exercise is biking! Not only is biking at the top of the list for low impact training it's extremely fun. If you choose as a bike rider you can become a great physical specimen. You can become a speed rider a course rider a tour rider or even a stunt rider, either way you will have extreme body control and great physical condition in order to compete at either one of these as well as having a great deal of fun in the process. So if your looking to gain your strength get into shape and have fun doing it get on a bike ride with a friend start off just around your block or a park and then build up after about 30 day's you will be bringing more riderz into the fold! Hope to see you on the road hope you become a

TRU STREET RIDER

got to get it

Hey T.S.R. hope all is well... Today is a good day and i hope that everything continues to go that way. i'm a little disturbed about now my girl has a sprained leg. When we went out the other day she and i were having a great time and she on the way home some how began to limp.

As we were traveling back i kind of looked back at her and noticed her slight limp or so i thought it was i also dismissed it for a moment because it was getting a little dark i thought it could have been because of the shadows etc.

  Upon further investigation i found that she was truly limping,and i was truly saddened. But let it be understood that when you play hard then you sometimes get banged up. All's she really needs is a little truing up and she'll be back to new. so i'm going to do that asap. Other than that the street are alive and well and we are looking forward to  the riderz who may find themselves a new way of life and begin their own riding style. So T.S.R. until the next time keep the rubber side down.

Stay TRU.

CHEATERS

CHEATERS WHAT DO'S IT MEAN

My definition of the word cheaters? Where will i start is a committed person having relations outside of their perspective house hold? Is it someone in class taking a test to better themselves,no to me is a person who loves to ride "MOTORCYCLES" not BIKES see bike is short for BICYCLE not Motorcycle! lets get that straight, if your going to use the phrase "BIKE" us TRU BIKE RIDERZ would love for you to call it something else like CHEATERS! The reason i say that is because true your on 2 wheels it has handle bars seats for 1/2 riders and it can get in and out of traffic without to much head ache! The main reason i say they Motorcycles should be called CHEATERS is they use other forms of energy to propel themselves, like gasoline! see us TRU STREET RIDERZ use 1type of fuel HUMAN FUEL so when someone say's do you ride bike's i say yes but when they reply so do i what do you ride i say BOTTECCHIA they may say Ninja, RSX, FATBOY,ect. just call them cheaters because you cheat when you ride if you really ride a BIKE you would use your own Hupower2 to get you there... so T.S.R. the lesson for today is stay "TRU" and keep it HU2  by the way MAN! i saw some PHAT Cheaters down a the Lil 5 today "RESPECT"

I LOVE TO RIDE!

T.S.R.

did you know that in 1907 UPS yes the delivery people had one of the first if not the first Bicycle Messenger service? well it's official that i didn't know! hey where do's this info come from? i guess in my quest to do a great blog and be a TRU STREET RIDERZ i find my self becoming a search aholic... and with that i also find myself finding info, that i would have never even known before.  UPS in the Downtown Metro Atlanta area has 2 bicycle messengers to deliver their smaller volume packages,they say(ups)that it is quicker and easier to deliver in the downtown area by bicycle messenger including Midtown,Virginia Highlands and Buckhead. NO KIDDING! lol  I do believe that we will see this grow in our near future. Their competitors will without a doubt catch on to this sooner or later. Remember T.S.R. this is where we come in they may have some people that like  to ride,but can they ride "GOOD" like  T.S.R.  So keep your eye's and ears open because you may find your self in a position to do a job that will allow you to showcase your passion and pay you for it. Stranger things have happened!!

NEW WORLD RIDERZ

NEW'S FLASH!

Hey T.S.R. I read today that in N.Y.C. the mayor passed a legislature that they are now attempting to make a law that all business owner's that have bicycle delivery and or messenger service has to wear a helmet by LAW. The Mayor also say's that the company's have to provide the helmets for all employee's no exceptions! i sent the link out to another Street Rider but didn't put it here,so will go back get it and send so you all can read it. Now you know whats next once they start small then they go BIG! I personally i don't have a probably with a helmet but making it a law is going to start something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  you know what i mean! ok T.S.R. get ready it's a coming! once it clears NYC then the trical down theory! The prices of helmets are going to go up, the prices of parts going up ect,ect, You get the picture. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/delivery-workers/

 now this is all just my opinion i ain't saying that it's right i'm just saying that it's "MINE"

NEW FINDINGS FOR ONLY A BUCK

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU KNEW OR DIDN'T KNOW!

On Critical Mass the last of October while on my way to the Mass up, my Head light fell off my beautiful BOTTECCHIA Bike. lol  and i was stuck light less. So i made a mad dash to the closest place i could find well the second closest place the bike shop's cheapest light was $39.00 dollars. So i dashed to the next place which was LOWES yeah you heard me!  Now i'm not saying i am a advocate for this place but i needed lights. so i found it. I said well this will do for now but after running the one light that evening i went and bought another 1 it's RED and the GLOW is wonderful as well they both blink. The cost is $4.99 a piece i also bought a Velcro straps to hold it down and BAAAAAAM! you got lights and the GLOW that is bight!

T.S.R. go to the you tube on the side of the page type in cixdeuce watch the lights video or what ever.
