Offical start time is noon... bykes arrive at Robson &
Thurlow at 11am (or earlier, or later).
Go to the head of the parade. No paperwork required.

=================================================

Parade Guidelines:

Wear your helmet to travel to the parade start, but *you* choose whether
to wear it during the parade. Often a float vehicle hear the front will
volunteer some space to hold your lids while en route.

Keep it slow, both on the turns and the long straightaways! Fast riding
scares the moms with toddlers sitting on the curb, and some of our
riders have less experience than you do, hotdogger. And the cops can get damn snarky at high-speed riding. Also, you want everyone to be able to see your sexy self on your hot machine -- not just a blur with a bug-spattered grin.

BykeDykes Gallery   

BykeDykes is a list for women-loving women (sometimes known as "dykes", but we're flexible) who ride motorcycles (sometimes known as "bikes", but we're flexible) in or near the Vancouver area. It's a conversational list, and members may post.

An example of "On Topic" for this list: dykes on bikes, women in chaps, motorcycles, riding, fixing, buying, trips, invitations to ride, and grrls looking for a motorcycling partner (either kind).

The member list is private, there ain't no archives, and only image attachments are allowed, which should be kept minimal in number and small in size. Please don't fwd crap, jokes (except motorcycle jokes), spam, virus warnings, or chain letters. Yes, I'm serious about that.

If there's a demand, I'll create a 2nd list, announcement-only, for those who don't want the chat but do want to get invited out to ride.

Welcome!
-Elaine, listowner
