Yeah I saw the fork and couldn't even really articulate what was going on there.

Maybe it provides shock absorption or something.

My gosh that would be hilarious to see. They probably do it to strike up conversations for sharing the gospel message. Or that's probably what they tell their mission leaders :P

Even funnier is that I showed this to my brother, and he thought it was a real trailer. (Mm, Poe's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law).)

If the missionary photo was taken in Logan, betcha he bought the bike at Joyride Bicycles!
Will just carrying his helmet get him to heaven sooner?

haha so you have been to the black hole located in northern UT then? Sorry, but it will eventually suck you back in. The pic was just found online, and is probably in cali. Of course i say that because its sunny there, and here....well we just got above freezing for the first time in weeks. And it was snowing.

I'm guessing they are just regular hipsters who thought it would be funny to dress up like mormons.

And when I say hipsters I don't mean real hipsters who go to bars and are friends with DJs, I mean fake hipsters who buy fixed gear bikes and drink PBR.

just because you don't agree with mormon beliefs doesn't mean you have to put them down

Fork looks perfectly normal for an old road bike.

Mormon bikes are branded "Liahona".

They get limited cell phone use sometimes! It's for their missionary business. They can't call family or girlfriends or anything like that.

You might think that. But they don't actually need them. They can just zapp cars out of the way with holy lightning bolts from their fingertips.

I agree. I'm not a fan of any sort of organized religion but everyone is entitled to whatever they'd like to support or believe in without insult from the peanut gallery.
