This year, Bikes and Mics is celebrating
the 50th Anniversary of the Chicago
Pride Parade with GOLD N’ GLAM!
Each year, over one million people come out in person to cheer on those in the Parade and the event is also televised worldwide. If you have not experienced the excitement of that many people watching you, you are in for a treat! Motorcycles in the parade are a crowd favorite and the roar is absolutely deafening. DEAFENING!
That having been said, Bikes and Mics wants to return the favor by giving all those eyes something exciting to look at! Our riders are asked to dig into their creative side and offer a departure from the traditional leather vests and bandanas. There is a part in the application that asks what you will be doing to bring your most creative style forward. If you are “not a creative person”, it’s totally ok! We’ve got more than a few of ya. This is the *perfect* opportunity to engage a passenger, or a crafty friend in creating a fun visual treat! You will be fine! We have also worked hard to kept the price for riding from being cost-prohibitive. Don’t have a motorcycle, but want to be a part of the excitement? Excellent! Apply to walk along with us as a monitor! See below for cost details.
