biking missionaries nearly meet God.

This is what missionaries of a certain denomination wear, --all black?

I'm only familiar with traditional Mennonite and Amish men who dress like that.

I'm lost. But it's ok.

I believe Chris is talking about coming across some young Mormons - they don't necessarily dress like that all of the time, but when they are teens/young adults they get sent on missions and they do at that time wear black pants and white button down shirts with ties and generally travel in pairs. I have seen some sweaterless - scandalous?

maybe they don't have them in Canada, but here in the US, mormon missionaries are usually 2 young guys biking together going door to door to hand out pamphlets... they usually are wearing dark dress pants, white button up shirts, ties, sweaters and or jackets. they are pretty common. and tend to make me not open the front door.

Only JH guys in pairs and I've never seen them on bikes --yet. But then I've lived in highly urban areas and in highrise buildings where we have 24 hr. security.

Love the thread title.

Love the thread title.

Can we fit it into "thread titles free verse"?

Seen the LDS missionaries too, fortunately our swealtering weather keeps them from covering up their white shirts. But it's pretty dang hot in TX, so no telling why they were wearing sweaters. I think part of the problem is the young adult "immortality" thing - missionaries or no, somehow they think they're immortal, and traffic laws exist only for cars. Seems to me the LDS church needs to really push bicycle safety, since that's the mode of transportation that is commonly used by their kids "on mission." To my knowledge, said mission is funded by their families and not by the church. They don't do well obeying traffic laws around here either. And goth black is the color of choice.

I've come close to hitting two runners on my way to work this week in the pre-dawn darkness. Both runners were wearing dark clothes and the only thing reflective were their shoes. One was while I was stopped at a stop sign - I thought I saw something move just as I was starting to roll out (she hadn't crossed in front of my headlights yet); and the second ran across in front of me to reach the levee. If you're going to run before the sun comes up, how about wearing a reflective T-shirt, belt, hat, safety vest, soemthing????

Ohh I couldn't resist.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS.

or should it be CLUELESS!! or maybe its both. shaking my head...

Maybe someone needs to go to a craft store and buy a case of glitter and glitter up their bike and glitter their trousers. (even spell something out on the seat of their pants. ) Maybe all that glitter will make them more visible.
