The Bike Stop

The Bike Stop will have a booth at this year’s PHILADELPHIA PRIDE event!

The Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing
NOON TO 6 P.M.
GATES OPEN 12 NOON
$10 ADMISSION

We’ll have a bunch of great swag available and you can finally see what some of the Bike Stop Staff look like in the daylight. (Shawn apologizes in advance)

The ‘Stop will be opening a little early on Sunday, so swing in to see Paul, Frank and Brad who will be there starting at 1pm.
Mike G. will be opening the Short Stop at 5pm to host a special get-together for our BIKE STOP Softball team.

Pride hours: Sunday June 13th 1pm-2am.

Cheap Beer and Hot guys?
Much better than hot beer and cheap guys (depending on who you ask). Our friends the Philadelphians MC will be hosting a pre-Pride Parade event at the ‘Stop, Saturday June 12th from 9pm-12am. There will be beer specials in effect during their event, so come on by and support our Club Brothers. It’s a perfect way to get geared up for Sunday’s Pride Parade/events.

Robert & Shawn just returned from Chicago where they attended the 32nd International Mr. Leather event. The boys swung by the Leather Archives & Museum during contest downtime and snapped this picture featuring the Bike Stop’s own Mr. Philadelphia Leather/IML 1986 Scott Tucker.

The photo shows a hint of the painting that legendary artist Etienne did of Scott; we’re looking for a color version and will post it if we manage to find one.

Robert and Shawn were awed and touched by the Leather Archives & Museum and spent most of the afternoon there snapping pictures, reading placards and being proud to be part of the Leather tradition that is so carefully documented at the LA&M. I’ll pester them to send me more pictures and a report from this year’s IML.

EDIT: Video of Scott winning IML 1986 courtesy of the Leather Archives!

The Liberty Bears will be hosting their June Bride White Party on Saturday June 5th at the ‘Stop!
8pm-11pm on the main floor. Drink specials and furry men; what more could you ask for?
