Cyclecide (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cyclecide is an American bicycle club based in San Francisco, California that is composed of clowns, altered bikes, and a traveling show called "The Bike Rodeo." Jarico Reese and Erin Peruse organized the first Bike Rodeo on May 23, 1998 outside of Cyclone Warehouse in San Francisco. The event was a call to all local artists to build any type of bicycle attraction they could think of and bring it to the Bike Rodeo. The show was a massive success with several people flinging themselves off of a 3-foot burning bike ramp at the end of the show. This show solidified the group and they decided to host more events. An inspiration for many bicycle gangs, including Cyclecide, is the C.h.u.n.k. 666 zine. "Cyclecide is a group of people in San Francisco who take junked bikes, alter them, and weld them into tall bikes, choppers, and other contraptions. Welding is fun."
