Among many other things he was known for leading the monthly Friday night San Antonio Downtown Highlife Bicycle Club ride.

'I created several mural designs for this wall, some showing Tito’s the pioneer cycling spirit, some showing that he was a community leader, traveler, friend, and a father. Some with saintly poses and some with a quiet remembrance feel. In the end we decided we wanted something that made you feel good when you saw it. Tito, smiling, in his captains hat and rightfully so. A natural leader who probably never knew he was a leader but continued to lead with understanding, compassion, and unselfishness. This mural is a reminder the he is taking a RIDE IN PARADISE. The prayers his community sends to him are represented with the logo that Tito used to put his passions and dreams to work and how those dreams and passions help a community find pride, reach goals, create friendships, and showed people how to enjoy life. So don’t be sad because this great person who gave so much is gone now. Be thankful that he was even here, and we all got to experience it. On behalf of myself and Soup, I would like to say, Thank You Tito Bradshaw. We will miss you for now, but we will see you again. Love, respect. When you pass this mural give it a wave and say “what up Papa!”' —Shek
