Moped: Moped Army
built 605 days ago
Moped Army is set 250 years in the future, 2277 AD in the city of Bolt Harbor, a city that is strictly stratified by class status. Bolt Harbor plays an integral role in the story as its different sectors represent the contrastingly different lifestyles its citizens occupy. Bolt Harbor can be separated into two different sectors: Upper City where the privileged live and Lower City; or Rust City where the less fortunate call home. An infrastructure level unites these two vastly different sectors, as Upper City was built upon the remnants of Rust City.

Dan Webber Kastner, one of the founders of the Moped Army in Kalamazoo, Mich., agrees that while the individual gangs differ in composition, mopeds are not a boys' club. Founded in 1997, the Army counts 10,000 registered users on its Web site and 300 members in its branches. Kastner says that his branch, the Deceptacons, has an even split of men and women. "I know lots of women who work on bikes and they're tough as nails. other branches have started out as men-heavy but have gotten lots of women members."

Moped Army tells the story of Simone, a privileged young woman who lives in Upper Bolt Harbor. She lives in comfort and security, mingling with other rich teens in a rarefied environment. Upper Bolt Harbor is literally named, as it looms high and aloof over Lower Bolt Harbor, crumbling home of the lower class.
