Ride with Pride: Four Ways to Get Your “Byke” Pride on This Month

By

It’s June, meaning the gay high holy days are upon us. For San Francisco queers, there are more homo-centric activities and parties than you can wave a rainbow flag at. For bike loving queers, there are an equal number of pedal-centric pride activities. From rainbow bike rides, to LGBTQ bike parties to queer bike education classes, here are just a few of the “byke” pride activities scheduled this month. Feel free to add more in the comments section below:


Different Spokes Group Ride: This LGBT Cycling Club hosts their monthly club ride this Saturday. Pedal your way from San Francisco to Tiburon together—on the newly improved Golden Gate Bridge bike path.
Saturday, June 9; Meet at Peets Coffee in the Castro; 8:30 am.

SF Bicycle Coalition LGBTQ Meet and Mingle: Join the SFBC for an after work party for queer and queer ally bike lovers. Great raffle prizes, including a messenger bag with local drag queen Juanita Moore’s face on it. Free bicycle valet provided, so nice folks will watch your steed while you chat up that cutie you’ve seen in the bike lane.
