Mobbing on Angels Night

by Nora

Detroit is not on fire anymore for Devils’ night, the night just before Halloween. At least not in Northwest Detroit, where the GMOB‘s are riding their fancy DIY bikes! Bike Mike, Bo, all the Grown Men On Bikes are having fun paddling, connecting Detroiters from all four corner of the city. That’s Detroit and that’s the way we do it! In case the video doesn’t appear embedded, check it here.

    I just met one of those guys at the Makerspace! He was learning how to screen print in my workshop so he could make limited edition t-shirts for the crew. I used to see those bikes flashing like that and wonder who they were. They seemed like such shiny new bikes, which I had come to associate with suburban bikers on tours around Detroit, but I knew they had to be from around here to be out riding at night. I’m glad you got this footage, they are amazing people, all that they stand for with their great attitude and the simplicity of their biking.

      Thanks for sharing this story Kinga! Very nice one! We also think that the GMOB’s (and their rider buddies such as the Eastside riders) are awesome folks! Feels good to know we’re not the only ones to think that way!

    “Where people like that can get together…and ain’t nobody mad at each other…”
    Beautiful – I like that! Sounds like a fun bunch of dudes to ride with.

      Hey Eldred! Thanks for watching! Yes, the GMOB philosophy rock! If you live in the Detroit area you’ll probably see and hear them ride this Summer. We’ll be there!

    This is such a feel-good story.. GMOB – Grown Men On Bikes! haha love it! “I can’t walk through the southwest, but I can ride through the southwest..” slowly but surely this city is changing..thank you for sharing this. Refreshingly different to everything I’ve been reading about creatives from San Fran and NYC moving in. Incredible. Hope to see them for myself one day. :)
