Dykes on Bikes – but what can I do?
I’ve seen billboards recently that say Smart Critiques, Stupid Creates. A strong community needs people who are willing to create. It’s true not everyone will like what you do but the fact you did it is important. It’s easy to sit back and be negative but much harder to take the chance and be creative. [...]

How it all began
In 1987 two Sydney dykes went to the New York Pride Parade and amongst all the glitter, glamour and spectacle, 1000 Dykes on Bikes were very hard to miss.
