I used to work with a guy who was a "Biker for Trump". I didn't know him really well, and eventually he left the place to move to less liberal pastures, but I overheard him telling someone that the Bikers were showing up to some place where Black Lives Matter was having a demonstration (he himself shied about going along). Anyway, I thought this was a very "night rider" thing to do.

I live in an area where there are some great roads for biking, and I've seen and met many bikers. I've liked some of them. I even dated a motorcyclist in the past. It's an enviable culture. There are also a number of bikers of color - I see them often when I'm out driving. But the culture is known for being friendly toward racists - you don't have to look too hard to see bikes with Confederate flags on them.
