Last summer, the Derailleurs, in cooperation with SF Hardtop Bike Polo and the SF Tweed Ride, filmed our bike polo skit using the Tweed Riders as extras. We used the footage from the skit to promote the Derailleurs movie, which is still in production. This was a fun little skit, and Janel, aka Agent Take The Lane, did a great job with editing the movie!

P.S. the bike tour was all I thought it would be and more. I want write about it and post some pictures, but havn’t been able to dedicate the proper time to it yet. Soon…

Yesterday I got the tip about the Bay Area National Dance Week. I checked out their website and found that there are free events and classes going on all over the bay area this week. All kinds of dance for all skill levels. Yesterday I found myself in a class I had never been to, dancing with a group of strangers, shaking out my stress and watching myself in the wall length mirror as I couldn’t wipe the grin off of my face. The rush lasted the rest of the evening. Check out the rest of their free events this week! http://www.bayareandw.org/

Bay Area Derailleurs Bike Dance. Burlesque by the Bombshells and the Cheesepuffs. Music by The Nerv and Tounge And Teeth. Plus DJs the rest of the night.

When I tell people that I bike dance I usually get a blank look. Sometimes they say something like:

“Oh, you mean like those German girls on youtube?”

To which I reply with something like:

“Oh god no…..bike dance. We are women that dance on, for, and about bikes. We dance with bike tubes. And bike helmets. And we have parasols made out of bike wheels. We are one part fly girls, one part 4th grade talent show. We promote bicycles through dance. Bike dance. We’re called the Derailleurs. Get it?”

We preform at events around the city and beyond, but if you’re reading this right now and you’re in SF it’s your lucky day. We are putting on an event tonight, MINI BIKE CABARET. It’s at 9pm at the Box Factory at 20th and Florida.  The Derailleurs are preforming along with The Bombshells and The Cheesepuffs burlesque troupes, two bands, three DJs, bike movies all night, bake sale, AND MORE. Fun times, make it if you can!
