Who We Are We're poly, kinky, queer, and on the weekends we're flying down the highway on two wheels.  We're tearing down the foundations of the heteronormative patriarchy brick by brick.  With a firm hand on the throttle, we're letting our engines roar and our freak flags fly free.  Well, okay, maybe we let our freak flags fly discretely.  We keep ourselves surrounded by supportive people, and we support the people around us, riders and non-riders alike. Why We're Here The purpose of this grou …

BroClub was created to solve a common problem we experience in our late 20's.  You may be new in town or your buddies may have relocated, married, or vanished off the face of the earth.  Guys tend to stick together much closer than women who rotate friends every six months, so this is your opportunity to form some good buddies in Chicago. The goal is to form a core group of like-minded bro's that are looking to build new friendships in Chicago.   We aim to do at least one event per week.  This g …

With the desire to provide more unique, personal rec league experiences that focus on meeting new people as much as the sports themselves, S3 Leagues were first created in Summer '09 and have now seen thousands of players. While of course winning is always ohhh so sweet, we definitely have as much fun at our post-game bars as at the games themselves. We're more about simply having a good time than practicing to go pro. So if you're looking for a unique social league, where it's ridiculously ea …
