So ripe and ready

The Australian Pedal Appreciation society's 200 strong membership has today voted to come up with a new name to refer to themselves after yet another misunderstanding with members of the public and police.

Pedal Appreciation Society members, or "Ped-o-philes" as they refer to themselves are people who appreciate pedals and all things pedal related. At their weekly meeting at a scout hall in the outskirts of Sydney a motion was passed to come up with a new nickname to replace ped-o-philes.

Speaking for the group, cofounder and spokesmen Rory McNonce said, "Much like technology enthusiasts referring to themselves as techno-philes and music lovers audio-philes we thought it was the natural name when referring to ourselves. We did not really run in to too much trouble until our annual charity day at Ronald McDonald Children's Hospital where we were chased off the property. So far we have a few suggestions for a new nickname such as ped heads, peddle pushers and my favourite the Tightcherrypinkboy'sarsehole-ophiles."
