KNIGHTS ON BIKES!

Welcome Brother!

Are you a Catholic Gentleman, a member of the Knights of Columbus, or interested in becoming a Knight? Do you ride a motorcycle? Are you Interested in joining the Alabama Knights on Bikes?

     Many in the Catholic community are familiar with the Knights of Columbus, but how many know about the organizations within called Knights on Bikes?
 
     Knights on Bikes is open to any member of the Knights of Columbus, who is in good standing within their council, who owns a motorcycle (of any kind, 2 or 3 wheel) or anticipates owning one within six months.
 
     Our mission is simple: Evangelization to the Catholic Community and sharing our  love of Christ and the teachings of our “Holy Mother Church”. We just     happen to do it while riding on motorcycles.

     Our motto is clear: “IN GOD WE TRUST AND RIDE”.

     It’s not about us, it’s about sharing our faith and helping others. “We are doing what we love by riding, so, why not do it, and help others at the same time. Plus, you meet some really great people and can be part of a great group that many are looking for.”
 
     Help us and our beloved order to grow and prosper. We recently provided an escort for the “Silver Rose” icon during its journey in Alabama and look forward to the upcoming visit in September. We are also projecting other KoB-Al rides for charity in the state. One for the victims of abortion and another for our Veterans.

     In May we will celebrate a "Blessing of the Bikes" at the parish.

    New members are always welcome, there is NO FEE to join the Knights On Bikes, the only cost to you, will be a black leather riding vest, for KonB events, as well as the cost of acquiring the required patches. We encourage our  members to wear their vest as much as possible

**PLEASE NOTE**: You will be required to provide valid current Traveling Card and proof of Insurance upon request as part of the application process.​

     For more information about the Knights on Bikes, please contact SK John Blackburn our State President at 334-714-0167 or email at kofcalkob@gmail.com  or john.l.1955@gmail.com. More information can also be found on the Alabama Knights on Bikes web page (https://alkob.net).
