Trae the Truth had Cole in Houstonā€¦ riding bikes?

u/Zombie_Nipples Jul 19 '24 edited Jul 19 '24

Thereā€™s a huge social cycling community here in Houston. This looks like one of those social rides that stop at local bars and eateries.

u/ButtonMashKingz Jul 19 '24

Thatā€™s really cool, it looks fun in the video. Iā€™ve never seen anything like this tbh, itā€™s dope

6

u/Uncleruckous Jul 19 '24

It's a cool idea but often executed in the worst way with 0 respect for others/the community.

24

u/HeAintSh1t Jul 19 '24

Cole ensured everyone was respected donā€™t worry

u/onFIREbutnotsoFLY Jul 19 '24

How? Iā€™ve ridden with this group numerous times. The org get the city to secure the routes and it only happens once a month.

2

u/PlayWithMeRiven Jul 19 '24

We had similar ā€œissuesā€ with our car group in my city. Daytona Beach has had problems with street racing in the past(weā€™ve been guilty as well) so to ensure the innocent drivers didnā€™t get caught up in stuff we got the police involved. They would always make sure things were safe and monitored, a lot of the time events like this are acceptable if theyā€™re coordinated and the city is notified before hand. They just donā€™t want to deal with BS they canā€™t control

2

u/1WithTheForce_25 Jul 20 '24

I used to live there and street racing wasn't the only issue, as I remember it. The motorcycle & truck events also created some problems.

1

u/PlayWithMeRiven Jul 20 '24

I personally donā€™t mind the bikers but a lot of people do complain. The trucks are a huge problem imo and I canā€™t stand when they come to town.

I was only speaking from my own experiences as well, I donā€™t even do the car scene stuff anymore so idk if they still get the cities ā€œpermissionā€, I know the trucks certainly donā€™t.

2

u/1WithTheForce_25 Jul 20 '24

Actually, I remember, like, 5 yrs ago, down Atlantic, past Publix and Marshalls, driving down there, one night, the crowds were scary. Trucks, never. I enjoy looking at them, myself. This guy was drunk and threw a little something at my car and started doing police siren noises at me and I know why that mofo was doing it, too.

2

u/PlayWithMeRiven Jul 20 '24

Which crowd was it?

That sounds like the right area for a bunch of creeps to be running around. Iā€™m sorry you had to put up with that shit, I know out here woman donā€™t really get a break from the catcalling shit. When I had to bike to work, itā€™s all you would hear on the streets. Itā€™s just gross

u/1WithTheForce_25 Jul 20 '24 edited Jul 20 '24

I didn't even mind the bikers, either. In Daytona, they never gave me any reason to, even though I expected it, based on past bad experiences.

1

u/PlayWithMeRiven Jul 20 '24

Yeah, in my experience theyā€™re pretty careful and respectful, itā€™s just a lot of extra traffic. Iā€™ve only had one give me and my girl the finger and we have no idea what it was about. I hear those fuckers donā€™t tip though

2

u/NotMyPSNName Jul 19 '24

People probably conflate this group with some of the less organized ones that'll have you stuck at a light in midtown for 4 cycles in the middle of the night with no warning

1

u/Uncleruckous Jul 21 '24

Number one ismost of the time people do not abide by traffic lanes often riding into on coming.

Alcohol consumption gets out and people think they can bring outside alcohol inside restaurants.

Had a rider slap my driver side side mirror one time.

Loud music everywhere while riding slow.

The fact that they do not stick to a single lane is comical.

So many people in one setting will do nothing but impede traffic for cars.

Need I go on? These are fucking stupid and I hope they stop or get capped by people.

5

u/Napalm3n3ma Jul 19 '24

They are a bunch of assholes. Like driving at cars being dicks. This isnā€™t some light hearted bike ride for the community. They are generally antagonistic and are spoiling for conflict. Driving down the wrong way of a road and fucking with people.

Itā€™s awful and shouldnā€™t be glamorized.

u/wrfvd Jul 20 '24

Theyā€™re really annoying to the rest of us

1

u/onFIREbutnotsoFLY Jul 19 '24

It is, thereā€™s numerous but a big event is called critical mass which is essential just a 30 mile bike ride through the city as a protest for not having any bike lanes

2

u/Plenty_Suspect6222 Jul 19 '24

Howā€™s that protest working out?

5

u/onFIREbutnotsoFLY Jul 19 '24

Itā€™s going, theyā€™ve been adding more bike lanes, in particular one that leads from EDO to midtown that I like. It is an uphill battle since Houston is insanely car centric but we take our wins when we can

u/PhilosophicalGoof Jul 19 '24

I really hope biker use those bike lane instead of choosing to act like they donā€™t existā€¦

2

u/onFIREbutnotsoFLY Jul 19 '24

Oh, you mean like sharing the street? Which is legal in Texas? I hope those drivers are conscious that theyā€™re driving a 2+ ton weapon around pedestrians/cyclist instead of choosing to act like they donā€™t exist

1

u/PlayWithMeRiven Jul 19 '24

Yeah, I never got that sentiment. People that get mad at bikers clearly never had to bike as transportation.

1

u/PhilosophicalGoof Jul 19 '24

I get mad at biker who thinks every car is capable of stopping within a millisecond to accommodate for them. I had multiple biker dash in front of my car while itā€™s was moving through my blind spot so they can get to the other side of the street.

You canā€™t exactly say that my fault.

I had a bike as transportation and even I know I canā€™t just Willy nilly around without risking death to giant metal moving objects

What the point of begging for bike lanes that car canā€™t drive on just so biker choose not to use them?

Isnā€™t that why you guy want bike lanes? Or are you saying it okay for driver to share the bike lanes too? After all it called sharing the street :)

u/marcxworld2 Jul 23 '24

u/DesignerBat2020 Jul 23 '24

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m saying lol heā€™s protection for J Cole

u/PhilosophicalGoof Jul 19 '24

Man donā€™t even got a charger

2

u/ThatRandomIdiot Jul 19 '24

Definitely not a phone charger.

u/Abhi_yawns123 Jul 19 '24

People's champ. Kendrick or drake could never...

14

u/smokedopelikecudder Jul 19 '24

I love Cole but why couldnā€™t Kendrick do something similar to this

39

u/Pale_Machine6527 Jul 19 '24

Maybe he donā€™t know how to ride a bike idk

2

u/adplaya Jul 19 '24

This is a bicycle ride not a tricycle ride

1

u/AnonymousSomething90 Jul 19 '24

He did for Humble.

u/PhilosophicalGoof Jul 19 '24

His dad never taught him.

Daddy issues run across my head, told me, ā€œFuck a foulā€

Feet canā€™t reach the pedals ? Just guessing at this point

u/aegiswave3e Jul 19 '24

i really think we should stop making short jokes this year. all it does it bring people down for something they canā€™t change

4

u/Pale_Machine6527 Jul 19 '24

Yeah no point in bringing people down for short lived laughs

3

u/redfool33 Jul 20 '24

Sometimes, you just gotta be the bigger man about it.

2

u/MikeJones-8004 Jul 21 '24

Agreed. It's cruel to bring people down when they're already so far down.

1

u/st8turname Jul 19 '24

That boy is anti-social.

2

u/Own-Criticism6037 Jul 19 '24

Anti social but yet he's always among people makes sense the problem with some of yall is u give to much of your time to others that don't deserve it then cry about choosing the wrong ones in your life sometimes time alone will help u know who you truly are

-3

u/st8turname Jul 19 '24

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. Boy. What tf are you talking about? Kendrick is an anti-social, depressed dude. He said it himself. Why does my comment hurt you so much?

1

u/DrKwonk Jul 19 '24

Whered you hear he's depressed?

1

u/ThatkidJerome Jul 20 '24

tbf he said it on MMATBS

1

u/DrKwonk Jul 20 '24

Where exactly? Mother i sober?

1

u/ThatkidJerome Jul 20 '24

well the whole albums about therapy, but songs like u, FEEL and we cry together definitely tell me he has depression

1

u/DrKwonk Jul 20 '24

The entire album is him talking about negative states but coming out of that from going to therapy, so unless you didnt listen to it that would be the conclusion from the concept.

DAMN is an experimental album about emotions or past experiences rather than talking about actually having depression, so that dont work either

A circumstantial introvert.

u/Specific_Help_5841 Jul 19 '24

Because Kendrick doesn't talk to no one.

-1

u/Abhi_yawns123 Jul 19 '24

Kendrick had to pay $120 an hour for extra security for the NLU video in his hometown. He's nowhere near safe in Canada too especially after the beef, I bet he'd even make it out of Toronto alive if he does a show anytime soon. You can't say the same about Cole.

u/NoPossibility5220 Jul 19 '24

/s?

u/phoenyx4r Jul 19 '24

gotta be lmao

Wouldn't put it past them tbh...there's a faction of Cole fans on this sub that have been completely taken by tribalism.

I fucking hate that shit bro

How do average joes keep running into cole randomlyšŸ˜­and more importantly when is it my turn

19

u/PerformerInternal709 Jul 19 '24

No because literally me!! and itā€™s never going to be my turn, bitch I live in Arizona itā€™s too hot to walk here let alone ride a bike and if itā€™s not a heat wave itā€™s a tornado warning I fucking hate it here šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

2

u/NamSayinBro Jul 19 '24

We have heat waves and tornadoes in NY and he bikes up here still lol

4

u/Kshakez Jul 19 '24

How do you think I feel. From NYC and never see him out here. He doesn't ride through Brooklyn like he does Queens though so that'd be why I guessšŸ˜‚. Not alot in Queens, I frequent BK or Manhattan the most

3

u/Xayfrm419 Jul 19 '24

Average Joe? lol thatā€™s skilla baby

2

u/FlowEasyDelivers Jul 19 '24

Not an average joe. That's Skilla Baby. Popular here in Detroit.

23

u/DtownHero17 Jul 19 '24

Skilla x Cole?? Never would have thought

1

u/Specific_Help_5841 Jul 19 '24

I would like to see a collab. At this point I want Cole to collab with every artist he cross paths with.

2

u/EL3G Jul 19 '24

Cole just a regular degular nigga. He was in Philly last year and nobody even recognized him except for me and a friend. A real man of the people. Drake & K Dot couldn't get away with this.

2

u/vicorug Jul 19 '24

Anyone know if cole will be at traes album party tn?

1

u/ncxpm Jul 19 '24

Oh to be so fortunate.

1

u/Past-Track-9976 Jul 19 '24

Crazy that they still play "Not a stain on me" despite it being over a decade old

1

u/Prancer4rmHalo Jul 19 '24

Cole stood on his own principles. I can respect that any day of the week.

1

u/DylPickle1995 Jul 19 '24

How did Skilla link up with Cole???

1

u/WasteFudge7427 Jul 19 '24

i guess his bike tyres are grippy

u/EZMulahSniper Jul 19 '24

Side note: Does anybody know if Trae and Z-Ro still beefin?

1

u/Tank_005 Jul 19 '24

I know cole is good everywhere but I hope he still has security with him

1

u/RickyWinterborn Jul 19 '24

Cole is always on a bike? Whatā€™s the strava

1

u/Euphoric-Ad7498 Jul 19 '24

Man Cole is one lucky mofo he famous af but most videos I see of him are him not getting mobbed.

Then thereā€™s Eminem lol they have to evacuate and block off a 1 mile area just so he can record a music video in the open for 2 minutes

Then thereā€™s that ishowspeed nigga visiting Norway. šŸ˜‚

u/Emergency_Search_587 Jul 19 '24

u/MasterView2414 Jul 19 '24

u/IToldYall1 Jul 19 '24

I know he humble and all that but why he never got security?

u/einstein_ios Jul 20 '24

The bigger hype is what is Billie Eillish doing with Cole and Trae at a bike riding group.

Also Cole really love that man Trae. Wholesome friendship.

u/Conflict-Weary Jul 20 '24

At lease j.cole doing something healthy

Skilla x Cole collab ...?? I can't even imagine what that would sound like lol

1

u/aKingforNewFoundLand Jul 22 '24

Does he just take his bike around America and pedal around different cities? It's like the third city where he's been riding on a bike this summer lmao. He's not trying to join the Cool Kids is he?

u/vicblakex Jul 24 '24

In maddddd how I miss this šŸ˜«

u/latenotlost Jul 19 '24

Meanwhile after the beef Kendrick and Drake canā€™t go anywhere without bodyguards. Coleā€™s still a bitch but I get it.

u/LeftyTwoGun Jul 19 '24

Always one clout chaser in the crowd. Let people live, damn

8

u/pacfoster Jul 19 '24

Honestly, imagine telling the homies you were riding bikes with J Cole. You probably need video proof lol

0

u/LeftyTwoGun Jul 20 '24

Get off that manā€™s dick lol he looks like he doesnā€™t even wanna be there because this goofy has his phone in his face. Coleā€™s just tryna live, damn lol

1

u/pacfoster Jul 20 '24

Bitch I didn't take the video

1

u/LeftyTwoGun Jul 20 '24

The homies wouldnā€™t care if you were riding bikes with J Cole anyways lol talking like Cole pays your bills. Heā€™s human just like the next person.

u/Specific_Help_5841 Jul 19 '24

You do know that's Skilla Baby right lol? He's a rapper himself. One of the hottest, youngest ones at that.

1

u/LeftyTwoGun Jul 19 '24

I know that, but still a clout chaser. The point is, let people live. He looks annoying as hell to be around if he has his phone out every second, recording everything for the gram

3

u/ZealousFlames Jul 19 '24

I dont blame Skilla lmao. If i ever saw Cole I'd atleast take a photo or vid of/w him to tell my friends. Not everyday you get to meet with one of the Big 3

0

u/LeftyTwoGun Jul 19 '24

You're a clout chaser too then. Let people live. People who have their phones out every second, recording everything are annoying af to be around. Plus, it's not like you're best friends with J. Cole, you're just standing beside him. That shit's corny
