Medvedev, Putin 'armies' unite for tandem ride

Two groups of glamorous female activists supporting Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin united for a tandem bike-ride on Monday. In late July, Moscow students organized an online group called "I really do like Putin." The move was followed by other female activists, the "Medvedev Girls," who released a video last week. The groups said their tandem ride on bicycles, bearing the president's and the premier's faces on the wheels, was aimed at "showing the country's leaders the comfort and efficiency of tandem bicycles." Another group of racy Moscow students vowed to strip for Putin in late July.
