They first congregated in the center of the McPunk intersection at Hennepin and Lagoon. Then they spread out among the gasoline powered evil ones.
gerg and I were pretty charmed by the shenanigans. One girl yelled at us as we sat on the motorcycle smiling, "Still not a REAL bike!!" I almost decked her, just on reflex because I was wearing a bike jacket and boots. Then I remembered that I thought their display was pretty cool, so I let her get away with it.
There was this one guy on a really tall bike. I thought that was pretty cool, and I thought it would be funny to shove a stick in his spokes just to see him fall, Tom & Jerry style.
Not cuz I have anything against bicycle protesters....I think the cause is legitimate (even if some of them are just plain rude). I just think falling down is funny.

Crazy!
s4xton - tell me about it! Any idea what their organization is?
Mc Punk? Is that what Rock & Roll McDonalds has been re-nicknamed posthumously?
I see, the punkers have been named.
Alty-bikers for snearing.
I love those tall bikes!

They remind me of my old house in North Phillips. We lived right across the street from what my husband called "the contra-culture house." (English is his second language, so I found this description hysterical from him.)
Basically it was a bunch of tattooed, dredlocked, dog-owning, tall-bike-riders. It seemed like some sort of commune, with people coming and going in cycles.
They were the most interesting neighbors EVER. One girl had a star-type tattoo around her entire eye, and they painted their house hot pink.

David - Now I have that Wesley Willis song stuck in my head. But seriously, what would the "McPunk" sammich consist of?
Ranty - "contra-culture" makes me want to write a synth pop song. We live in Longfellow, within walking distance from North Phillips. Maybe I should take a bike ride and try to find that pink house.....
