This is a Vancouver-based all-women cycling-themed dance troupe. yes, some of these women do cycle regularily. Enjoy..the videos, etc. Perhaps some of you might have seen them perform. They were in LA, other areas of California and Portland last year. They still perform now. Looks like they are doing a performance tour in a few weeks...in Vancouver Island area.

Song Cycles was a cycling choir on wheels in Toronto. Yes, they did start their shows at cycling events by cycling into view, singing their songs in 2-3 part harmony. Looks like they are part of cycling culture history. Alas. :cool:

Where one can get CD now. There are some free audio clips to here them. Tongue-in-cheek light lyrics about cycling, commuting, etc.

Are there other cycling-related artistic performances elsewhere? Honest, I assume that in major cities where there are significant numbers of cyclists, there would be such loosely formed groups...

My favorite part has got to be the sticker on the back of one of the helmets..

"I wear a helmet so you can drive like an idiot"

I loved that performance and the soaring music matches her incredible bike ballet. She is probably even BETTER than a Cirque du Soleil cirucs acrobat on bike!
