GGW alerts us to the formation of the Ministry of Bicycling.
dedicated to "making biking awesomer."
They're having a ride this Saturday
Join the DC Ministry of Bicycling (MOB) as we promote biker visibility and look spankin’ hot as we ride our steel horses through the nation’s capital. Get out your shortest shorts, your whitest whites and get ready to pop a wheelie on the populace. Dress code: bike tie formal (ties, white button downs/ups, poufy dresses, bike grease).
Our route goes along bike lanes throughout the city—from Freedom Plaza to Dupont Circle, through Columbia Heights, finally landing us at the doors of the Red Derby on 14th St. We’ll stop at Dupont Circle to hand out bike safety and bikers’ rights information and let people know how they can join in on future rides.
We’ll be rocking MOB paraphernalia, which we’ll bring on Saturday for everyone to enjoy. Friday night we’ll pre-party as we go over our route, work out our spray paint muscles, and lube up our chains at GOLDSTAR.
[Recently I stated that the word "mob" has a negative connotation. I remember thinking that MOB, however, does not. Though, there I was thinking of the Marching Owl Band. If you're surround by the MOB, the worst you're in for is some smarty-pants hilarity and slightly off-key music.]
