We ride for everyone tired of gun violence and demanding change. Team 26 will stop in big cities and one-traffic-light towns to spread the message of peace, hope and love.

It used to be just for the kids from Newtown. Now it's for EVERY-body. So to speak. Sounds like this person failed to use the old noggin' protector a time or two. At least we now know who's behind the massive traffic back up. Plus, they're helping to save the erf by riding their bikes. Do they ride them both directions? Hmmmmm.

Monte Frank - as in Three Card Monte?

“we block traffic and cause havoc....we are the pretentious “biker elite”

irritating people for love and peace since 2015

"Monte Frank: Team 26 for Newtown -- Why we ride - bicycles"

(Because the ones with motors are too loud and scary?)

They keep repeating the lies.

We also ride for James Brady, to make sure his goal of universal background checks is achieved. According to Quinnipiac University polls, approximately 91 percent of Americans, including households that own guns, want a background check to be conducted for every gun sale, and yet Congress has failed to act.

Research from Mayors Against Illegal Guns, one of the groups joining Everytown, found that the presence of a firearm in a domestic violence situation increased the risk of homicide by 500 percent for women, while only 7 percent successfully used a firearm in self-defense.

Here's Monte with his good buddy Al Sharpton.

The Danbury Bar Association recognized him with the association’s annual Pro Bono Award for his pro bono representation of several families who were deeply affected by the tragedy in Newtown and his representation of an individual in connection with the 9/11 Victims’ Compensation Fund. He appears regularly on television, radio and in newspapers for his work on violence prevention, including CNN, MSNBC, NPR, WCBS, USA Today, and the Washington Post. He has written numerous Op-Ed pieces, including co-authoring one with Connecticut’s United States Senator Richard Blumenthal and another with Senator Blumenthal, Senator Chris Murphy and Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty, which have been published by Connecticut, national and international newspapers, including the Guardian and the Hill.

So, the one on the left is Larry?

[smokingfrog]

I don’t know who that is. Maybe she’s Al’s tax attorney.

Interesting, In all my hyears I have never seen nor heard of a gun being violent. Perhaps this group has some evidence? Maybe a video? Would love to see it.
Me personally I am against violence

I figured the guy on the right was Curly and Moe is in the middle. Maybe its Shemp.

The temptation to put a scabbard on my bike is growing.
