A gang of bikers has claimed a quiet Collegedale neighborhood.

Under cover of dusk, the bikers circle the neighborhood on their tricked-out three-wheelers, causing curious residents – and dogs – to spill out into their yards.

The bikers apparently have no official club colors, but their bikes show a disdain for conformity, outfitted as they are in the Kool-Aid hues of lime green, lemon yellow, grape and punch pink.

The club members go by classic monikers such as Judy, Margaret, Estelle, Elsie and Mona that sound like they could be a roller derby team from 1960.

They need a group name. The Daughters of Dusk, maybe? Or, wait, better yet, the Pandemic Pedal Pushers?
