Name for a cycling group
I will be leading a co-ed cycling group/club for my church this year and need to come up with a creative name for the group. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that they would like to share. If you have any ideas or have seen something that you would be willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it.
Some catchy and/or creative would be great. Thanks for helping me out.

What are the main goals of the group? Training for an event? Fellowship? General fitness?

I'd go straight-up gangster, like, The Ghisallo Cartel. Very intimidating.
I also like Pitt Pius the Pedaler, for the alliteration.
Club Hey Wait For Thee! if you're a bunch of comedians.
Veloclub Trois Riviéres, if you're a bunch of Euro snobs.
Squirrel Hill Scramblers could be a down-homey homage to the terrain, or maybe Mt. Washington Mashers.
Lastly, with respect to the history of the city, Ironburgh Cycling Club.

When I was in college we had a cycling club called the "Hell's Babuskas". I thought that was a funny name until I talked with a fellow with an eastern European background who told me that "babuska" was a term often used to mean "grandmother". After that I thought it was a real funny name.

Can't speak for anybody else but I thought it was just a scarf or shawl that women wore on their heads in the 50's. I'm not going to defend my spelling either.

I'm a member of B.A.B.E.S. (AKA Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society).
If your church group happens to be Baptist, you might be able to come up with something similar.

бабушка (babushka) is Russian for grandmother. By extension, it's also come to mean the scarf worn on the heads of grandmotherly women.
