About Knights On Bikes-Dallas
Knights on Bikes Evangelizing to the Catholic motorcycle community.
Knights on Bikes were started by Raymond Medina, Willie Davidson, and Freddie Galindo in Ft. Worth TX in June 2005.
Knights on Bikes was started to promote the Knights of Columbus and safe motorcycling. The group has expanded since those humble beginnings to Knights joining us from Canada, Mexico and the Philippines and multiple states in the United States.
We operate under the control of our local councils. We do have guidelines that we follow to make sure we are not considered a separate group from our local, diocesan, state, or national Knights of Columbus. Our members must have attained their 1st degree membership of the Knights of Columbus, own a motorcycle or have a motor within 6 months of joining, follow the tenets of the Knights of Columbus. Our ultimate goal is to enjoy motorcycling with fellow Knights who have the same interest, while evangelizing to those in the motorcycle community that we come in contact. We also want to recruit candidates into the Knights of Columbus that happen to be motorcyclist.
Many of our members are officers in their local councils and assemblies and participate in the various charities supported by the Knights.
