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

    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.

  • "Dreamer" Founding Secretary & Board of Directors

    2009 BMW GS650

    Everyone has their reasons, and all clubs are a bit different. For me, there are so many aspects: riding is like having a horse without the vet bills-- Relaxing yet adrenaline / dopamine injection without any harmful effects. Riding along the backroads feeling the curves, the wind and smelling the honeysuckle and fresh earth next to the woodlands. With GPS I can go in any direction I feel like in the moment and when I’m done, I just get WAZE to show me the way to go home. I enjoy the Cosplay of acting like a tough guy, when I’m not and I appreciate the wisdom that other riders bring to the table and the camaraderie that comes with like-minded people.

  • "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.

  • "Falcon" Founding Sergeant at Arms & Board of Directors

    It's great to be part of a group of women who share an interest in motorcycle riding. There are a lot of opportunities to connect with the community and provide information and support charitable causes. 

  • "Sage" Founder & Board of Directors

    2016 Harley Davidson Freewheeler

    Fueled by over 15 years of motorcycle riding and a lifelong devotion to nonprofit leadership, I am privileged to serve on the Board of Directors of Dykes on Bikes Rehoboth Beach. Riding represents far more than the exhilaration of the open road—it is a profound journey of community, resilience, and transformative impact. I am dedicated to supporting our contingent to become a powerful force that not only uplifts the LGBTQ+ community, but also celebrates and honors our legacy. With unwavering commitment, I strive to ensure that the resounding roar of Dykes on Bikes continues to inspire and empower future generations.

  • "Nubz" Founder & Board of Directors

    2009 Suzuki Boulevard aka Stuart

    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.”
