We're a bunch of Seattle cyclists who enjoy our machines and live by the bicycle. We commute, play polo, cyclocross, ride with .83 and other local bike groups. We try to support bicycling with involvement in Seattle Likes Bikes. We're individuals who ride with our own specific style. Every month of the year you can see one of us on our very own machine, doing what we do best: riding bikes and looking damn good doing it.

The calendars are available at many local bike shops (and some in LA, Japan, Germany, etc) or online for $17. Pick your own copy up while you still can!
