Motorcycles have a long history with lesbian culture, and amongst them, the Dykes on Bikes is likely the best known. Reappropriating a slur for lesbians, the group joined the 1976 San Francisco pride, and has led the parade ever since – and many other pride parades around the nation.

The Dykes on Bikes has 22 chapters and is affiliated with many other motorcycle clubs. They’ve also been formally known as the Women’s Motorcycle Contingent.
