On this day while we ride together returning from work, on a clear street, I decided to capture this moment, Richard is my colleague at the office, a very free funny guy, she's our Shawama chef, while I worked at the Pastery department, we work the same shift and often return home together.
Richard have been #cycling for a very long time, onetime he told me, he's been riding since junior high, with some BMX bike, he usually rides to school.
One fact about Richard that often fascinate me is his style and stunt, I love it so much and feel I should perform some of them as well, but here i'm not a stunt rider and I just got into the riding scene last year, even tho I have been riding bike since I was little, I never really own one.
Getting my first bike last year was as a result of a necessity cause of my job and location, I got her first June so I named her JUNE, she was a pencil tire light frame bike, at the time she was in bad shape and I literally had to overhaul everything, bought new set of brakes, gears, derailer, safety lights, and freewheel.
I love bikes with hights, cause it gives me comfort and good posture to ride with speed, especially pencil tires, so when i'm out riding with Richard and he does all those stunt, I get it cause I can't do that with mine, Richard's bike is more like the bmx type but just it's more advanced with a disk break, so this gives him liberty to do whatever....
Richard can jump gutters, jump pedestal walk ways jump over 4-5meters space, perform some crazy stunt, side bending, free-hands, even riding over speed bump with free hands, (The day i tried I almost broke my balls😂).
Personally I love riding especially over long distance, in my city I can ride my bike to anywere and back, I have covered over 10 kilometers and back, as far my bike is in good shape and proper checks, the fun and beauty of riding your bike cannot be over emphasised especially when it comes handy in covering several distance for free, it's healthy, it's refreshing, it's builds up your physical looks.
Like I was telling a friend of mine that no matter rich I will be, bike riding will always be a part of me, sometimes early morning rides or late in the evening for site seeing, getting that freedom and natural air is priceless...
