"The ride was more than just miles traveled; it was an opportunity to strengthen bonds with fellow Dykes on Bikes, share stories over shared meals, and discuss essential topics as San Francisco DOB approaches our 50th Anniversary in 2025. With perfect riding weather, the Montana adventure reminded us how beautiful the Dykes on Bikes community is and why two wheels are often the best way to experience the world."
"After washing the dust from our pipes and bugs from our windshields, we attended the Oakland LGBTQ+ Pride Parade. Oakland Pride's theme this year was "In Unity, We Thrive," and it was especially meaningful as we rode alongside Soul Fire, an Oakland-based dyke motorcycle club, as well as independent riders from around the Bay. Crowds cheered, flags waved, and our community showed once again how powerful it is when queer riders take up space together."
San Francisco Dykes on Bikes rode through Portland, Spokane, Seattle, and Hot Springs, Montana, connecting with local DOB chapters and participating in Pride parades. Nearly 30 motorcycles arrived in Hot Springs, a town of just over 600 residents, who welcomed the riders. Riders stayed at the newly opened Oasis Project and used the trip to strengthen bonds, share meals and stories, and plan for San Francisco DOB's 50th Anniversary in 2025. After cleaning bikes, the group joined the Oakland LGBTQ+ Pride Parade, riding alongside Soul Fire and independent riders as crowds cheered. A Dykes on Bikes outreach party and fundraiser is scheduled for September 13 at the White Horse Inn from 12:30 to 3:30 pm.
