in nyc, having your bike blessed may not be such a kooky idea. i'm still (after 3 plus years of being here) freaked out by the thought of riding my bike on any major streets (even ones with bike lanes). of course, my bike is a low-to-the-ground bmx but still. taxis swerve, people don't bother to signal, helmets are a rare sight. scary.
so the bless your bike event held at the NYC's cathedral church of st. john the divine sounds pretty sane to me.
anyone (any faith, no faith, anti-faith) can bring their bike in to have it blessed -a sprinkling of holy water & a blessing from reverend canon thomas miller. awesome.
the event's traditional reading is ezekiel 1: "wherever the spirit would go, they went and the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."
really awesome.
