FAQs about The Rollin' Walkens:
*Who are The Rollin' Walkens?
A bicycle gang themed around Christopher Walken. Duh.
*Why Christopher Walken?
Why not?
*How do I get one of those sweet Christopher Walken cutouts to put in my spokes?
By giving $3.50 to Eli or Erin or whoever has some extras that they made.
*Who can join?
Anybody. Doesn’t matter if you’re a cross country marathoner, a novelty enthusiast on a flipped frame, a snazzy vintage cruiser collector, or a slightly overweight dude with a Wal-Mart mountain bike who hasn’t ridden since he was 11. We’re friendly. You’ll fit in.
*Where and when do you ride?
Lately: Sundays 2PM. This will change when it gets too hot. We start in the parking lot of 3309 Elm St, the Continental Gin Company warehouse. Routes vary with attendance, weather, and moods.. but they are easy and leisurely
*I don’t have a bike, but I want to go…what do I do?
Dude. Get a bike. Craigslist, Target, Ebay, a bicycle shop.
*You’re a gang. Does this mean you circle around the Fuzz while goading, throwing rocks, and smoking cigarettes?
Yes.
*Why do you guys ride bikes?
Everybody has their own reasons. To raise motorists’ awareness of our rights, to boycott fossil fuels, to get in shape, and for some of us, to prepare for the zombie apocalypse.
*Why do you ride at night?
For one, because we have jobs during the day. For two, because heatstroke sucks. We're also lazy and like to sleep late. Riding bikes at 8am is for Spandexers!
*Is it dark and scary and dangerous?
This is a major urban area; our streets have ample lighting. Additionally, we ride in a large group on roads that are all but deserted that time of night. Cycling is no more dangerous than driving a car if you follow Texas bicycle laws. And PLEASE do follow them. Don’t ride like an asshole, that just puts your and everyone else’s safety in danger and makes The Rollin’ Walkens toilet paper your house.
