Babes and Bikes



This weekend I got my first taste of the Dead Baby bike club.  On Friday evening at around 7:30pm, I hopped on an old Schwinn Stingray I found on the street a few months ago (it had a "free" sign on it) and cruised the streets and bars of Seattle with a posse of crazy people on crazy bikes.  I ended up getting a flat and I rode half the ride on the rear seat of a tandem bike behind a bad ass babe named "Dark Stephanie."  Riding a tandem bike is much harder than you would think it would be.




I recently found out about a dance troupe called The Sprockettes.  This all female group specializes in  synchronized dance performances on mini bikes.  So cool!  Part of their mission statement is:



Empower and inspire people to live out their crazy and wildest dreams, therefore embracing the bad-ass-ocity of life and living to their potential. 

Right on, ladies! They are based out of Portland, OR, and I will definitely check out one of their shows this Spring.  Check out the upcoming performances on their April schedule here.

There is another troupe called the B C-lettes from Vancouver who are pretty rad and perform at the Dead Baby downhill races.
