Please join this online bicycle club.
I have created a new online bicycle club at bikejournal.com. I invite everyone here to join. It is called:Ancient Free & Accepted Masons Online Bicycle Club. You do not have to be a Mason or affiliated with the fraternity in anyway to join. It is open to all.
The password you need to join is: Hiram Abif
You will need to join bikejournal in order to join the online club though.
Thank you.
John

If he told you, he'd have to kill you. Then he'd have to kill himself for divulging the secrets.
Seriously, the Masons are just an old fraternal organization.

Found this on the web -- don't know if this is it or not.
Masons (also known as Freemasons) belong to the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world. Today, there are more than two million Freemasons in North America. Masons represent virtually every occupation and profession, yet within the Fraternity, all meet as equals. Masons come from diverse political ideologies, yet meet as friends. Masons come from varied religious beliefs and creeds, yet all believe in one God.
Many of North America's early patriots were Freemasons. Thirteen signers of the Constitution and fourteen Presidents of the United States, including George Washington, were Masons. In Canada, the Father of the Confederation, Sir John A. MacDonald, was a Mason, as were other early Canadian and American leaders.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Freemasonry is how so many men, from so many different walks of life, can meet together in peace, always conducting their affairs in harmony and friendship and calling each other "Brother."

There is a Team bikeforums.net team at bikejournal. It would be nice to have all bikeforums.net members on their own team, and not to have a competing team promoted this website.

I would not really consider it a "competing team". On bikejournal.com I am a member of SCCC which is my local cycling club. That being said I see my self a member of the "bikeforums.net" community also.
