A manifesto of sorts, from a moribund webpage:
“Media blackout begins. to clarify: the creatures of the loin are complete losers. a few of them, the more unsavory ones, are homeless. they are around 22 years old on average with a healthy number still being high school misfits who get made fun of by even the nerds. they are about 40% girls and have chosen the moped way due to a love of liberation, a desire for self sufficiency…”
Don’t stop believing, Batavus riders!
And get to know area gang members on peds of all stripes:
