Black Label Bike Club
The Black Label Bike Club (BLBC) is an international freak/mutant bicycle organization specializing in tall bikes and choppers.
BLBC was founded in 1992 as the country’s first "outlaw bike club" by Jacob Houle and Per Hanson as the "Hard Times Bike Club" in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Inspired by Victorians who used tall bikes, called Lamplighters, to light the street lamps, BLBC is credited as the originators of tall bike jousting, and one of the main contributors to the rise of the tall bike culture.〔〔Weyland, Jocko. ("Unstoppable" ). ''The New York Times''. April 29, 2007〕 It has since grown to include chapters in New York City, Reno, Nevada, Austin, Texas, Oakland, California, Stockholm and Malmö, Sweden, New Orleans, Louisiana and a nomad chapter known as "Nowhere".
The New York chapter was featured in a full-length film, ''B.I.K.E.'' produced by Fountainhead Films in 2006. The film was directed by Anthony Howard and Jacob Septimus who spent over two years following the club by going to their meetings, parties, and gatherings of the tribes in Amsterdam and Minneapolis, as well as the protests of the 2004 Republican National Convention.
