Black Label Bike Club

Black Label Bike Club

The Black Label Bike Club is an international freak/mutant bicycle organization specializing in tall bikes and choppers.

Started in 1992 by Jacob Houle and Per Hanson as the "Hard Times Bike Club" in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the club has grown to include a chapter in New York, Reno, Nevada, Austin, Texas and a nomad chapter loosely based out of New Orleans known as "Nowhere".

The Black Label Bike Club is credited with being the first "outlaw bicycle club", the originators of tall bike jousting, and one of the main contributors to the rise of the tall bike culture.

The club is explored in the 2005 movie "B.I.K.E." by two filmmakers
