Why do Mormon missionaries have to ride those dorky bicycles?

[Giz]

Wouldn't the missionaries be more impressive if they rode custom Harleys? They'd have to be real big ones, not the little Sportsters (the motorcycles, that is). After all, they are on a Mission from God.

LMFAO!!!! You should see the lady missionaries in their dresses on the bikes...LOL! They just have a lot of faith. Props to them. Yeah, Harleys would be awesome. They would probably get more people to get baptized by bribing them with motorcycle rides.

Best question yet.

It keeps them in good shape.

And have you ever noticed that usually the mormon missionaries that go door knocking are young fairly attractive well built guys? Thats so they can convert all the young females.

I'd find it a bit more amusing if they rode razor scooters.

They buy the bikes themselves. I don't know too many 19 year old boys who have the money to waste on a Harley. Plus, riding a bike is free and good for the environment!

you know what's funny? In Utah that is the stereotype for mormons...mormons on the bike...and people parody it ALL the time, but I have yet to see a mormon missionary riding a bike. They are always walking.

I don't care how big his bike is, that's one ride I'm not taking.

j-r

it gets them where they need to go and keeps there costs down at the same time.

 

[Every Vegan's Dream]

Maybe they do it for the exercise.

 

[sally oh]

Its not about what they're riding in its about the message that they're supposed to be getting across to the lost souls like u!

 

[Darwinall]

Otherwise, we would be convinced they are totally unbalanced.

Who would pay for the gas?
