Who are Dykes on Bikes®?
In June of 1976 a small group of women rode at the front of the SF Pride parade. Four decades later we are celebrating the pride and courage those women had that morning as we remember the incredible history of the Dykes on Bikes® organization. We celebrate the commitment and countless hours Dykes on Bikes members have spent to support philanthropic endeavors in their local communities.
