Bikes 4 Life- stop the gun shoots

by Mich.
640_bikes_4_life_007.jpg
Stop the gun shoots, too many lives lost. No more stray bullets, no more police shooting, its time for a gun truce.
Bikes for Life (B4L), has organized hundreds of bikes to promote peace and to call
for a gun truce. As you know the entire Bay Area has been dealing with an increase in violence and B4L will bring people together from diverse backgrounds to educate, build unity, and to celebrate life.
Hundreds of young riders have taken part in this historic event largely in part of the popularity of the new phenomenon Scraper Bikes. Scraper Bikes are basically bike art on wheels (http://www.scraperbikes.net) that urban youth of color began to create in the inner cities. Now Scraper Bikes can be seen all over Oakland. Scraper Bike riders typically ride in large packs similar to motor cycle clubs. We’re using this opportunity to reach & educate youth who’ll then bring message of a gun truce back to their communities.

Well, The DERAILLEURS had a banger of a time. Thanks you to everyone who stood up to be counted in the fun movement and the Silence The Violence plea! I must say that it was an honor to ride and perform with other homies in the monster bike network. The Derailleurs have been inspired by the Trunk Boiz for a while, and ya'll led us to pioneer the scraper bike parasol. Scraypers are showing up in town and the scaper bike movement is in full swing! Thanks for being soldiers of Awesome and welcome to RAD America!
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
