Would Jesus Ride a Mountain Bike?
There are two references to automobiles in the Bible. From the New Testament: "The disciples came to together in one Accord." And from the Hebrew scriptures: "God drove them from the Garden of Eden in his Fury."
But at lunch today, Pinchie (who has a degree in theology!) assures us that Jesus would not drive a car. He would definitely ride a bike. But what kind of bike?
It's not a question we've really considered until now, but it's a good one.
Given that He's pushing about 2000 years old, I should think he'd be most comfortable on a full-suspension rig like the Specialized Epic or maybe some sort of mixte, easy to step through wearing a robe. On the other hand, He might appreciate classic lugged steel from Italy.
Jesus has a well established record of hanging out with lowlifes and petty criminals and social outcasts, so perhaps a tallbike or a folding bike is more His style. What do you think? (Previously we noted this fellow, who believes that Jesus rides a tandem.) Please note: Awesomest joke by reader Matt, in the comments. Buy that man a beer!

Good one! This is a trick poll, since the obvious answer isn't a choice.
What Would Jesus Ride?
A Cross bike!
I'm going to fry in hell for this.
oh man, you ROCK!
kicking myself for missing that obvious one...
I think I actually saw Jesus riding a bike on Lake Street, and I hate to say it, but he was on a girl's Magna with a squeaky chain and under-inflated tires...
