Can't you just see the throng of meticulously outfitted weekend warriors and tidy OilCan boys comparing Hilfiger bandannas? We think we might be on to something. Or some beefcake boy at Splash triple-carding a weathered biker babe with tattoos on her tattoos and a shirt that proclaims in 21é2-inch iron-ons: Bubba's Bitch. We can see it now, a big burly biker with a Babtist Woman on his saddle zooming across the warehouse district, church lady's purse twisting in the jet stream.
Maybe what needs to happen is some good old cross-pollination and consolidation. But Austin is soooooo accustomed to 'rebels' and outsiders as insiders, that 'events' such as these are lost in a blink. In other cities, Gay Pride is an all-encompassing deal, and so is Bike Week. In fact, we think they both should make a bigger stink when they take over town. While both events are fairly high-viz and make their presence felt around town all weekend, they don't quite grab the attention that they do in other cities. No, the title refers to two different annual events happening this weekend.
Dykes, Bikes, Yikes!ĝykes on bikes? We wish.
