Tito Bradshaw’s grandmother taught him how to ride a bike when he was 2 years old, living with his family at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii.
He grew up to be an avid biker in Copperas Cove and later San Antonio, where he often rode an antique penny-farthing bike in parades. He became a co-owner of the Bottom Bracket Social Club on Colorado Street, which was both a bike shop and a bar until it closed its doors.
