The Chainlink

Do you like to shout and clap!? 

Do you like to smile and jump!?

Do you like chants and pom-pons!?

Of course you do :)

 

The Kickstands are a cheerleading squad for Chicago's cycle scene.  

 

It's going to be less like dancing (like The Racketeers), and more like shouting, clapping, kicking, cheering... we'll do bits like rabble-rousing, chant-starting at big events like Critical Mass downtown and the Auto Show Shutdown. The Kickstands, I hope, will be a fun presence. 

 

As we speak I'm brewing up chants and cheers that say something about how awesome it is to ride a bike. I've never been a cheerleader before, and so this isn't going to be so very rigid or rehearsal-intensive. Once a week, perhaps, with extra practices with big things coming up. 

 

Like the Auto Show Shutdown in February. I'm thinking a couple extra practices right away.

 

With that, here's The Kickstands' Blog.

Also, if anyone has any great chants they want to tack onto this thread, that would be pretty awesome :)
