Gender in process of being fucked, Brno next in line

The Bike Smut hussies are in the ancient Hussite city of Tabor, getting snuggly with a band of merry queers at Genderfuck Festival. Tonight we bring the porn, tomorrow we bring the workshop. For those of you at the festival, if you want to come to the show, you know which wall to find the festival program on, and you know who the pornographers with the bicycles are (if not, why don't you introduce yourselves some time; we'd love to get to know you)

From Tabor, we fly through the Czech countryside into the waiting arms of Brno. The radical bikesexuals of the Kulturní Kolektiv in Brno have delighted our cockles by seducing our Bike Smut team into a last minute visit to their city. We will be there:

Prague finally gives it up!

Sometimes cities are troublingly obstinate. Sometimes it's maddeningly hard to find a home for bike porn in a city. Like the clit/dick that you keep rubbing and licking and rubbing and licking but still no orgasm no matter how long and hard you try and no matter how you adjust your technique. And just like in making good sex, communication is the key to making good bike porn shows and getting to that climactic point that we're all striving towards. But communication is frustratingly hard when you're a traveling pornographer who's just landed in a strange continent without any knowledge of the local erogenous zones.

So when we tried to bring bike love to Prague, we just didn't have the right communication to get the city hard. We tried and tried, but for all of our stimulation of our contacts and potential hosts, everything came up cold and silent.

But in the end, the earth will be shaken by a toe-clenching, saddle-squeezing, throat-moaning, wheel-spinning bike porn orgasm, because Prague finally has a Bike Smut show! Soon! Tomorrow!

Our efforts have ended in triumphant success, and we proudly present to you...

BIKE SMUT PRAGUE:
Wednesday // 15 June // 19.00
Cross Club, 2nd stage // Plynární 23, Praha 7

Worth the wait.

Fuck trees! One stole my bike!





According to the article in the Huffington Post they chopped down the "[ginko] tree, making off with the bike in under 12 minutes."

but in the video, they dont actually seal the bike. Someone rides the bike, then leave it were it was.

Guessing motivations is treacherous, but fun. What say you? Was it a simple act of thuggery? A statement against the environment? Direct action by anti-sidewalk activists? Or were we watching a complex relationship of bored motorist and "helpless" biker play out? Cause assuming that the bike was still there when the cyclist returned was it taken as a warning?



The neighborhood committee is out there, and it doesnt want you parking your fucking bike on the block.

Linz. In the binz.

The other day, I was walking down a street in Vienna, and I saw some kid standing there with a fine ass hot bicycle. "Bike Porn! Vienna Bikekitchen! Friday night!", I said. Said the kid, "I am so excite! But I am cursed by an evil wizard's spell and cannot be with you tomorrow night. But I am going to be in Linz on Sunday! I hear you also love Linzians! Where is your Bike Smut show there?"

For you and for all similar others, here is your answer: Bike Smut is happening in a big way on Sunday night at Kapu in Linz, Austria. That's 20.00, Kapuzinerstrasse 36. Hosted by the Linz Bike Kitchen!


Maribor wears its underpants on the outside























What have we here? A legion of Bike Smut superheroes, perhaps? Making the streets of Slovenia safe for truth, justice and the bikesexual way?
























The superhero team of Poppy Cox, Liberty Sprocket and Reverend Phil have been fighting their righteous war against cars, bad porn and refrigerated tomatoes across the entire breadth of the European continent in a gruelling and trying struggle against the vast societal systems arrayed in opposition to them. The life of a bicycle warrior such as this is a noble but often lonely and thankless one. At last, in Maribor, Slovenia, they and every other local cycling superhero were recognized with a grand parade in honor of the super-heroic deeds committed by these sexy bikers every day.

So much appreciation to the Maribor Cycling Network for revealing the true sexiness of Maribor's cyclists for the world to see (and Vanja Bučan and Boštjan Lah for the pictures).

Vienna Resurection

Bike Smut normally follows the well-established operating procedure of 'Come - See - Conquer.' But sometimes we don't manage to finish the job. Such was Vienna! We performed our first official European show in this city in April; and it was a magnificent show indeed. But our show was not nearly as magnificent as it could have been, because we fell into a very common difficulty for the travelling pornographer: when inviting people to your porn screening, it's really really hard to convince them that you're not some terrible creepy sexist jerk. Which is pretty understandable; when you spend your whole life being surrounded by the effects of mainstream misogynist pornography, and then someone tells you "Hey, you should come to this public porn screening. It's 100% feminist! Really!", your first reaction may well be penetrating incredulity rather than transcendental excitement. And so was Vienna. When Bike Smut came here in April, many of the best citizens of Vienna assumed that bike porn would be another boring old representation of sexist porn, and so they stayed away. It wasn't until after the screening that they realized how TOTALLY AWESOME we are in every way possible. And then Vienna started begging for another chance.

And now they have it! We are back in Vienna for another shot at porn glory! Those who once turned us away in confusion and disbelief are now welcoming us with palm fronds and hallelujahs!

So come to the Vienna Bikekitchen!
Friday night, 20.00!
Address: Goldschlagstrasse 8!

Wooooo!

Free Territory of Porn

Bike Smut has spent three peaceful days languidly sucking cherries amidst the rolling hills and twisting grapevines of Maribor, well accommodated in the house of Bike Smut's posthumously adopted grandmother. But Bike Smut requires constant stimulation and new experiences, so it is time to move on to the invigorating novelty of languid cherry sucking amidst the beaches of the Adriatic.

And so we depart for Koper, formerly the second city of the Free Territory of Trieste. If there's anything that Bike Smut was looking forward to in our European tour, it was getting lots of fancy stamps in our passports. So we are deeply saddened that the Free Territory of Trieste (1947-1954) never took flight as the independent post-WWII city-state that it was intended to be, and after several years of issuing postage stamps and fielding a national cycling team was subsumed by it's Italian and Yugoslav neighbours, leaving Koper now a well established part of Slovenia. Which leaves us only looking wistfully at the place in our passports where a Free Territory of Trieste stamp could have been.

So this Tuesday, expect us to take matters into our own hands when we raise the flag of the Liberated Autonomous Free Territory of Porn in Rebellion at Koper's Bike Smut screening. If we are not given our free territory, we will make our own free territory. And so it will be:

Tuesday -- 7 June -- 21.00

Super-Powered Bike Smut

Slovenia, you have only just begun to taste the pleasures of Bike Smut! After our excursion south to Zagreb, we get it up again for the north Slovenian city of Maribor, widely famous as being the proud home of the world's oldest grapevine. The world's oldest collection of amateur erotic short films about bicycles will be cruising the streets of Maribor on Friday in a bicycle superhero parade organized by the Maribor Cyclist Network. Because, yes, riding a bicycle does give you super powers, and better orgasms. And what do superheros do after riding their bikes? They watch porn! Yes! After drinking alcohol. Here is our schedule for June 3rd:

16.00 gathering
17.00 start of parade
19.00 snacks and drinks
20.00 bike smut screenings

22.00 dub party

We meet at Grajskem trgu (Castle Market), and from there follow the bike sound system into the moist warm folds of bike porn.
