Dykes on Bikes (motorcycles) are a traditional crowd favorite participant at gay pride events such as Pride parades, Dyke Marches and significant LGBT events like the international Gay Games formerly and informally known as the Gay Olympics. Although they are mostly associated with large parades and events they are actually a loosely affiliated international network of mostly lesbian and dyke motorcycle clubs including The Sirens in New York City, Dykes on Bikes in Portland, Oregon, and the Women’s Motorcycle Contingent in San Francisco as well as a growing international network of chapters.
