Phoenicians make positive social change
It鈥檚 a quarter after 10 on a Saturday morning at the Red Onion Lounge. Mary Hart is shuffling through loose papers like a lawyer ready to defend the accused. Transient rays of sunlight creep in from the Cave Creek strip, spotlighting the Midwestern women鈥檚 red hair and steel-blue eyes.
Surrounded by six 鈥渂ushy dudes鈥 with motorcycles and patched leather jackets, Hart might lead a local to mistake her for just another biker. Hart is a biker, but she is also a teacher, a mother, a district treasurer and a volunteer. She鈥檚 on the state board of directors for the motorcycle advocacy group the Modified Motorcycle Association of Arizona.
