Meet Our Officers + Founders

  • "Madam" Founding President & Board of Directors

    2003 Harley Davidson Heritage

    I first saw DOB as a little girl and immediately saw “my people”! Dykes on Bikes® has a powerful history and unapologetic presence of lesbian + queer women, butches, studs, femmes, allies — all dykes in their own way leading a revolution! I always wanted to be a part of it; it is an honor to lead the new Chapter in Rehoboth Beach.

    I look forward to continuing the DOB legacy that started in 1976, to show up for little girls, boys, NBs, and allies who may also be seeking their people, and to create new intergenerational pathways for queer women to show up boldly - thundering through the streets and by the beaches of our small state, Delaware.

  • "Judge" Founding Vice President & Board of Directors

    2014 Harley Davidson Slim

    Having a DOB chapter here on the east coast will provide strength and pride for the surrounding LGBTQ+ communities.  I look forward to leading PRIDE parades, community events, and to ride with a group of people that share the same goals.

  • "DIVER" Founding Treasurer & Board of Directors

    2023 Harley-Davidson Nightster

    After a 13-year break, I’m back in the saddle where I belong. Riding never left me; it just waited. I came to DOBRB to ride with people who get it and to earn my place among them. Each mile forward is about visibility today and leaving the road wider for tomorrow.

  • "Nubz" Founder & Secretary

    I am excited to start this journey with the Rehoboth Beach Chapter of Dykes on Bikes! I'm looking forward to connecting and becoming more involved in our community! 

  • 1976: ORIGINAL FOUNDER OF DOB WMC in San Francisco: Soni Wolf (1948-2018)

    We wouldn’t be here without the vision of Soni Wolf!

    Born on September 19, 1948, in Rhode Island, was an influential American lesbian activist and a pioneering figure in the LGBTQ+ community.

    After serving as a medic in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, she moved to San Francisco’s Castro District. There, in 1976, she co-founded Dykes on Bikes (DOB), a group that became a powerful symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and empowerment.

    Wolf played a crucial role in securing the legal right to use the “Dykes on Bikes” name and logo, winning significant trademark battles against the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

    Throughout her life, she nurtured DOB’s growth into a global organization, engaging in philanthropic work for LGBTQ+ causes.

    Wolf passed away on April 25, 2018, in Daly City, California, leaving a lasting legacy honored by her inclusion on the National LGBTQ Wall of Honor at the Stonewall Inn.

Chapter History

1976. “The first, courageous women rushed their motorcycles to the front of the Gay Freedom Day march. The SF Chronicle called them "Dykes on Bikes". And a movement was born.”

2025. The Rehoboth Beach Chapter was APPROVED by unanimous vote by the DOB Mother Chapter in San Francisco.

Back story.

Madam lit the match—reaching out to Dykes on Bikes with a vision: queer visibility, thunder on the pavement, and a Chapter in Delaware. For years, there was silence. But fire doesn’t die easy.

When the response returned she was ready! Within seven days, the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN rallied! We gathered. We signed our Charter Application with fists full of purpose and hearts loud with pride. No hesitation. No delay. We were ready.

Once we got approval all boots were up! We’re moving. Already building. Already becoming. This wasn’t just paperwork. It’s legacy in motion.

“The movement that started with queer and lesbian San Francisco motorcyclists in the 1970s endures to this day.”
