Seattle! Fight for your fucking future!

Seattle is a city of impressive futuristic tendencies:
the Space Needle, the computer software, the wall to wall Starbucks, the overpriced housing market,  the stream of people who commute for two or more hours twice a day between Everett and Tacoma...
 We can do better. Seattle its time to abandon the ways of yesteryear and step into...

THE BIKESEXUAL FUTURE


It connects our sexuality & mobility to the future of our species. 
How can I use power tools and hydraulics to get on and get off bikes? Will there be a singularity? How will we cope after the carpocolaypse? Can squirters solve the looming water shortage? Where is my alien 4-way orgy and can I get Captain PrickHard to sign my boobs? Is this really the last screening in Seattle?!?
All these questions and more will be answered. But just as before there are no DVDs and the movies are not online. The only way to see Science Friction is to be there when it happens live

ONE NIGHT ONLY!


This workshop is produced by the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture, producer of the Seattle Erotic Art Festival. Our mission is to promote the many ways sex is beneficial through education, outreach, the arts, advocacy, and research programs that serve the public.

Vancouver Porny Express Re Climax!

Every once in a while, we have a great screening AND we have good feedback from the audience AND a venue appears that demands better sex and better transportation via Bike Smut.

At the moment none of these have come true, but nonetheless we plan to forge on with an bonus screening purely because of serendipity.

our hack space friends are bike curious and that plus lots of encouragement from 3rd party plus who doesn't love the sexy bicycle nerds?!?



So tonight come on down to your local radical social experiment location and learn something new!


VHS (aka Vancouver Hack Space) clever little fuckers ain't they
270 east 1st Ave
9pm some sort of geek-family friendly movie like Ghostbusters or Hackers
11pm some sort of adult-geek friendly movie like THE PORNY EXPRESS!



Movies start outside, but will probably move inside depending on various factors.

You will likely want to bring your own seating if you can. Maybe a blanky to share? GET COZY!

Seattle Hops on the Porny Express

Cascadian Summer is upon us! The perpetual clouds that once dominated our skies have been replaced with a sea of blue and a glowing orb of yellow that hangs over our heads in a consistent reminder to go outside.


And go outside you must because that is where your friends are playing in the streets. Taken over by numbers greater than you can be bothered to count, behind which a trail of beer cans and casual pedestrians who are dumbfounded by the expression of insane (perhaps inane?) joy traveling down the street.

The Dead Baby Downhill is upon us again. It has been 3 years since Bike Smut has been able to join in the fun. But we shalt miss another. On the 1st Friday of the month enjoy the 17th annual Dead Baby Downhill!!

Show up at The Station on Beacon Hill, 2533 16th Ave S at 5pm for registration, race at 7pm sharp!

Enjoy passing out in the street in a pile of warm beer and cheap vomit.



Then clean yourself up because on Sunday you are expected to enjoy Seattle's only screening of

The Porny Express
Sunday, August 4th
The Mix
6006 12th Ave South
8pm
Adults only
$5-10 donation


It is a curious and feisty community that brought us together for nearly two decades. Beer witness to the coming future!

Help the world's largest herd of bike dicks n cunts

Soon the joy of riding naked will be yours! In cities all over the world bodies are demanding being seen as beautiful, a rejection of isolating car culture AND those that seek to profit from feeding insecurities.

If you happen to live in Portland we need your help to make our ride more fabulous. We expect there to be more than 5 thousand people riding as bare as they dare. This is the biggest naked bike ride in the entire universe (at least in our solar system) and it is happening this Saturday night!


The night will be warm (high 70s that day) and magical.
We expect a huge turnout and we REALLY need more volunteer help!
We need people to wander though the crowd asking for donations. We need volunteers to help  B-Line check bags and help keep an eye on trash before the ride leaves. We need ride along mechanics.
Here is a complete list of the help we need: Volunteers needed
Click the "Sign up to Volunteer" button and follow your passion.
We meet at the Portland Art Museum at SW Madison and Park. Volunteers need to check in no later than 9:30 at our table.
Admission to the Cyclepedia exhibit is $1.00 per article of clothing from 8:00 pm to 10:00 that night.

Porny Express World Premiere

Its nearly arrived!

After a solid year of Turning Trixxx around North America and beyond, promoting bikesexuality from Mazunte to Montreal we are finally making our pilgrimage home to share the bounty.

Bike Smut will be Turning Trixxx no more, forever. But out of the ashes rises a John Holmes-like phoenix set to scatter the sadness from the bike porn-starved lands with our new program of human-powered erotica!

 



It is time to hop on
The Porny Express
June 12
Clinton St Theater
2522 SE Clinton
8:30 pm
$7, 18+ 


And what a program we have! The filmmakers live in from Quebec, Chicago, Gainesville, Oakland, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Vancouver, Milan, Geneva, and Berlin!










Many of the films have incredible production values, but many are also slapdash nuggets of bikesexual brilliance. Our new trailer shows some of our favorite moments from this year and last.

This year, not only are all the movies inspired by the joy and liberation of sex and cycling, but the North American tour itself is human powered! This has not happened since the original Cascadian Bike Porn tour of 2007 and is an exciting challenge for our spunky team.

In 1891 intrepid riders spirited across the untamed landscape of the Western United States. Dubbed the Pony Express, they brought news from afar they connected disparate communities. This year Bike Smut will travel along a differently dangerous path. Braving extreme conditions and xenophobia we will ride our bikes more than 5,000 miles to bring this unique content.

Help us start off on the right track. Get your tickets now!
Hop on The Porny Express!

Thank you Zoobomb for giving us the cause to go down every week with so many wonderfully liberated bodies in motion!

 ZBX, our 10-year anniversary concludes with a Birthday cake feast tonight at Col Summers Park. Join us if you can!

Dead Baby Downhill Video Recap

Bikes! Babes! Bands! Beer!

POINTS OF EXCLAMATION!!!!



From plentiful beer to hawt biker girls dancing in the streets to tall bike wrestle/jousting to not possibly not waking up in someone's puke at dawn, the Dead Baby Downhill has a lot of things going for it! We are proud to see so many of our friends taking part and making it better.

Seattle can be a little stuffy for a Northwest city so its great to get them to get down and dirty for a spell.

Join us next time the 1st Friday of August in 2013!

Turning TriXXX in Seattle!

Summer!

When the heat of the city boils the streets and your tires resulting in a forced marriage of rubber and tar it's summer.

Cascadia in the summertime feels pretty magical. Packs of friends cruising around between shows or gatherings while other packs are sprinting through a turn in graceful formation. The seemingly limitless potential of every night give a sense of excitement you can taste as every opportunity to stop and post up on a bench or bluff yields new choices as groups interact and share bikers like so many positively charged atoms would share electrons.

Seattle, get your covalent bondage on!

The Seattle premiere is coming up quick and includes "The Bike Wizard" a hardcore threesome with snappy editing, hilarious dialogue and expressed consent. Directed by local queer porn star, Jessie Sparkles!

Bike Smut 6: Turning TriXXX
Sunday, August 19th
20/20 Cycles (20th and Union)
Doors at 7, preshow at 7:15, show at 7:30
$10,   18+



Come get some magic at our final 2012 screening in Cascadia!

Vancouver : the Last Orgasm

NO! Must it be? Alas tis true...

After traveling 10s of thousands of miles to bring you the most ethical porn in the world our plucky team of bicycle pornographers have concluded that this will be the final stop on

THE ORGASM TRAIL

Bike Smut: the Orgasm Trail will be showing at the 
Russian Hall (600 Campbell @ E. Georgia) this 
Friday the 22nd, 7:45pm, $9 for all the 
DIY bicycle p0rn you could beg for

All things must come to an end, (except circles? ... until you break a spoke!) and we couldn't ask for a better place than the home of bikesexuality. For before there was the World's Largest Naked Bike Ride, there was the Wholesome Undie Ride. Before there was Bike Smut there was BikeSexual.org


So while Portland is the current reigning champion of all bike culture, it owes a lot of it's current rad-ness to the folks up north who have been throwing down since the beginning.



In their honor, we are leaving our glorious home to re-stoke the flames of bike passion! We'll be joining forces with Velopalooza, (Pedalpalooza in Vancouver) and Bike!Bike! (a gathering of bike nonprofits and collectives)!





Our itinerary starts on Friday, June 22 at 10:30am PST with us on Pedal Revolutionary talk show. Here is a blurb they put out:
We are going to perform another radio striptease, with racy music to get you in the mood for bike-loving! Time for an hour and a half of the raw Reverend Phil; committed, unadulterated, and ever-so-obliging! Tune in to hear the stirring sounds of whispered expletives, torn-off rain ponchos and peeled-down bike shorts!

You'll also have the chance to win tickets to this Friday's Bike Smut: the Orgasm Trail by answering challenging skill-testing questions such as: "What are you wearing?" Note: you need to be a current member of Coop Radio to win, but it's easy to join. If you make a pledge using this form and send it back to me you're eligible. Pay-what-you-want for this -- your donation will support bike radio and cooperatively-owned community radio into the future. Anyone pledging $60 or more will get a CD of amazing bicycle music!!! (Or a download if you want to save plastic.)


Then join the Bike Bike-ers as we dissect and analyze the connection between bikes and sexuality with our "Dismantling Bike Porn Collage Making Workshop" Friday at Purple Thistle @ 4:30
Feel free to BYO scissors, glue, and stacks of porn or bike mags for cutting. Or just use ours!



Then the big show just up the street from the workshop to the Russian Hall (doors at 7:45) for the FINAL SCREENING OF THE ORGASM TRAIL.

There will be other fine events happening all weekend and summer long, check out the Velopalooza calendar or just go out on your bike and see what joy you can discover!

Coast to Fucking Coast


Tre excitement! International radio Coast to Coast! You can hear the talking of the DJ and even if you can't speak French you probably can understand what she says!




We are totally on the Canadian Radio! Twice! in 3 days! 

Join Bike Smut on "Pedal Revolution"!  This is an extra special (not last Friday of the month) Show
This Friday, June 22nd at 1030am
Listen at 102.7fm, or live streaming at coopradio.org
http://www.pedalrevolutionary.org/

We have been told there will be stripping, LIVE! on the air! Possibly alcopop drinking. Which are almost totally illegal in Canada! We might also do some google hangout or something, so keep your peepers peeled!


Then this Sunday at 5:30 AM PST (OMGWHAT!!!???!!!)

Join us as we take an auditory ride on "Bike Lane" on CKUT 90.3FM in Montreal, Canada. We doubt there will be live stripping at 5:30 am, but maybe some folks in France will join us for some afternoon delight!
 

ya never know what them french canadians will get up to...

So we will be audible on either end of the Canada, and almost on either end of the radio spectrum, which is pretty cool.

Tune in like Tokyo!

Media Monday: The "F" Word: Feminist

Well it's Monday somewhere...


You will forgive us for our excitement, it is not everyday that we take on the challenge of reading much less writing about what we consider the apex of "your doing it wrong" social theory. But feminism persists, even as most regard it with disinterest or distain.  Something to be feared for it implies the topics you are about to engage in may make you feel insecure about how you live your life. People may want the world to change, but they generally hope that it will all change around them, leaving them blissfully unaffected because they consider themselves fine just the way they are.

No insufferable joke will provide you escape its encompassing reach, and no manner of  of ignoring will make it go away. There it is, to liberate everyone equally even if you don't like it.

and this equal access to all regardless of their grouping includes sex!

(not that all we should have access to everyone's sex, but that everyone should be able to own their own sexuality

But fear not landowning white, right-handed, middle class, Protestant, heterosexual men, there is good news for you too (which is great to write as I am pretty solidly in that class) -  feminism will mean better sex for you and your partners!

It is just that talking about sex is already kind of intimidating. Annoying opportunity for awkward misinterpretations lurk at every double entendre, and make it feel safer not to talk at all.

So you could imagine the pause of concern that followed our whipping out of our advance copy of Momentum: Making Waves in Sexuality, Feminism, & Relationships to our favorite gathering of jocks caused. But if you expected more disinterest and disdain you would be wrong, because we play bike polo in Portland Fucking Cascadia.



The groups gathered to watch bike polo on the hottest day of the year and between the cheers, jeers and laughter they took to the topics presented like a duck to water, casually plopping right into the conversation, gregariously offering opinion and experience on queer culture, sex and agism, Fetlife and social media, and reproductive rights like they had been training for it their whole lives. I was proud of my friends and I felt lucky to have them.

The book, Selected Essays by 2012 Speakers Advocating Change in Current Sexual Dialogues
Edited by Tess Danesi, Dee Dennis and Inara de Luna opens up all sorts of exciting paths to more understanding of most disenfranchised people, but eventually we were forced to ask the next obvious question: Does it include bikes?

Not to be a transportationist, but these are the kinds of tools that are simple and obvious that they feel generally overlooked. And there is a reason.

"Those child's toys don't belong on the street" might be a fair rebuttal. Most of the bikes sold in the US won't have lights attached to them. This is because they are designed for recreational purposes, not "real travel" Can you imagine if auto makers tried to sell cars without headlights?

And yet the young are not abandoning their bikes for cars the way they used to. According to this article in the Grist (which is quoting Advertising Age, so we have no reason to expect they are deceiving us) over the past 30 years the share of 17-year-olds with a driver's license dropped by a third. Several other stats follow explaining the rising cost to the growing social-financial inequality. The social status that car ownership offers is diminishing as well, as the culture of cool shows fixed gear bikes in every conceivable form.

After a few hours in the park we were putting down the book with a somewhat comfortable "well, it's great that someone said this but can we add an expectant "…and?!?"" We were cocky. We felt so assured of ourselves and our place. We have the all answers, if only everyone would just do what we say it would all be better!

It was only in picking up the collection of essays that we realized our folly. But it's late, in fact there is barely a time zone left where it is still Monday, so learning about the rest and perving out on the hot biker bodies will have to wait.

STAY TUNED: SAME QUEER FEMMINIST PINKO CHANNEL... SAME "BIKE" TIME

Double-fisting bikesexual movies

If it sounds sexy, it's cause it's gonna be fucking sexy!

This day, (some 14 hours form the time of this writing) the wold premiere of Tranny Snachers will occur at the Hollywood Theater (where we just saw Annie Sprinkle last week)!

This is a pure Cascadian porno. We can't say for sure it is sex-positive (its a pretty challenging term at times), but we are confident it is sexuality-aware, which MIGHT be more important.






Following this curiously violent idea to end all genders, there is a bike ride to end all movie screenings! Coming hot off the heals of Filmed By Bike, (where we met, and smoked with Gary Fisher) the Dropout Bicycle Club is hosting a free, outdoor movie screening for all to enjoy!

Just last month they celebrated an entire weekend of depavement debauchery including a mutant bike cyclecross race though a small industrial lake with a beer stop in the deep end.

Possibly the best bike club in Portland, if not the world and you can bring your own movies about trannys or transportation to the event, tomorrow night! Just meet at Col Summers at 9:30 and bring some dollars for beer. What could be easier?

Olympic Valentine

Holy Cascadian dream! There are only a few days left before we cool our heels in the everlasting puddles of Portland. But first we have to smeear our vulvae all over Washington's seat tubes.


Just last night we got word that we still may be able to pull off a show in Seattle this weekend. Very encouraging because another venue had flaked on us and we were left in lurch. But the safe money is on the state Capitol city of Olympia where teams of young energetic bikesexuals are poised to rock the Evergreen campus to its foundation.

Olympia Bike Smut

Doors at 6, start movie at 7

Thats Olympia, not Olympus. Easy mistake considering that we were catching a ride there just a few months back...

sweet piles of party




There are some things that help make porn even more delectable than normal. In sex, as with bikes the proper lubrication is necessary, so be sure to stock up on useful items. Here are some bribes presented to our friends at Filmed By Bike are having their ninth annual festival in Portland, Oregon.

Bike parties are generally the best parties, get down there and enjoy the awesome.

Keep an eye or ear out for the secret post FBB film screening!

Congrats and huzza!

post-Seattle recuperation

Thank you Seattle!

so many beautiful bikers and perverts presenting themselves in a cavalcade of horny that we are hardly able to contain ourselves

lets try to recap:

A show at a place once called the Wet Spot equipped with whips, chains, cages, a pretty complete dungeon and other fortifications, one of which we had performers on top of.

A stage shared with pop-up-out-of-a-cake dancers gyrating to Kenny Loggin's Danger Zone and a variety of indecent proposals, plus a trip to a massive, abandoned concrete factory with a view of our future home, a barge left for dead on the Duwamish.

A relaxed screening at a bike screening where one of the viewers was quoted as saying, "Im sorry I have to go home now, because I am really turned on"


ZOWIE!

Thanks for all your support Seattle!
