Subcultures inside the moped army


The Moped Army is an organization of moped enthusiasts, centered on the organization's website which serves as a catalyst for the spread of moped culture and the organization of moped-related events throughout the US and Canada. Founded in 1997 as the Decepticons in Kalamazoo, Michigan by Daniel Weber-Kastner, Simon King, and Brennan Sang, and as of September 2016 several branches have retired and become Emeritus status. The branches each have a unique name, often inspired by the city in which they are based, and are self-governing; implementing their own criteria regarding membership and activities. With the motto of "Swarm and Destroy", the Moped Army has been the subject of a graphic novel by Paul Sizer and a documentary called Swarm and Destroy.
