We will be holding another Mardi Gras after party at The (Lady) Hampshire Hotel again. There will be dancing, entertainment and just a great cruisy night with fantastic people.
We’re taking over the whole pub and inviting the entire LGBTQI+ community to come party with us.
Whether you ride with Dykes on Bikes and just want to spend the night partying with some fantastic people you are welcome to join us.
Tickets are available through Sticky Tickets
We returned to the Red Rattler in Marrickville for this years Black & White Ball. The theme this year was The Roaring Twenties and plenty of people made the effort to dress appropriately. The Best Dressed competitions were highly contested.
After the success of the Mardi Gras After Party we flew DJ JoSH back over from Adelaide to make sure we had plenty of dancing music for the night.
As a special surprise Drag Icon, Sexy Galexy, Came up from Melbourne to perform and MC the night for us. To round out our drag entertainment the super smooth Jayvante Swing did a few numbers and even Rusty Gates got into the spirit with a little number.
The night raised nearly $1,000 for our charities.
2018 has been a great year for us. Of course, it is brilliant that we reached our 30th Birthday but we also had an amazing turnout for the Mardi Gras Parade, one of the best Mardi Gras After Parties I’ve been to in years and a fantastic night at the Black & White Ball.
We have the RSPCA and X-Mas Party coming up in December and then the return of the Big Dykey Picnic in January. February will be full of things leading up to Mardi Gras and, of course, part II of the DOB After Party at the (Lady) Hampshire. The Bike & Tattoo Show has morphed into the Bike & Body Show to be held on Saturday 30th March. We have gone into partnership with ACON’s Women’s Health Project (hence the Body) so apart from the Bike Competition and a Swap Meet we will be looking at looking after not only your bike but your Body.
There are rides scheduled for every month – some long and some short – to make sure you have a reason to get out on your bike.
Yes we know it’s the start of Winter for the weekend away but if it goes as planned you will not want to miss this one. (Details to be confirmed but Head Like a Chicken)
Or if you aren’t riding or just want to catch up, why not come along to one of our social events and meet the crew. More details are always posted on Facebook here.

Just today, 16 bikes and over 20 members rode on the Christmas Charity Ride to donate much needed supplies to the RSPCA Yagoona Shelters. The RSPCA Toy Run is definitely one of our best attended rides – and it’s easy to see that so many members are animal lovers.
We were also accompanied by some Boys on Bikes to help deliver presents and food to the animals.
The RSPCA has just recently opened their new clinic and animal ward, so the members were taken on a grand tour – including frequent stops to pet the baby kittens and baby goats!
Thank you to all who donated and supported this ride. The RSPCA were very grateful and gave us a special tour of their facilities and a BBQ.
