Chicks on Bikes is the first book to visually chronicle the culture and lifestyle of real women motorcyclists. The photos and stories range from sassy young racer girls, wind-roughened seniors, leather-clad outlaws, chic corporate climbers, grease-covered mechanics to motorcycle fashion designers.

In the past, women on bikes have been portrayed in the media as bikini-clad sex-objects or clinging to the back of a male rider. Classic movies have shown them as sluts and outcasts. This book casts aside stereotypes and takes a look at who real women riders are today. The photos and writings convey the women’s passion for riding as well as revealing often surprising thoughts on the risks and rewards.
