TyK Gala-Gallery Launch Party: photos

Bikes lined the streets outside of COOP on Friday night, where the 2011 TyK calendar Gala-Gallery Launch Party was in full swing.  Complimentary Revolution Brewery suds made for a long beer line at the event that features local sexy cyclists.

This is the third year for the women’s calendar—but first shot by photographer Kimberly Capriotti—and the second year for the men’s—shot by Chris Dilts. The women’s calendar features a mix of women dressed in their typical bike riding garb along with pin-up girl style photos that aim to prove bike girls don’t have to be sweaty and unfeminine.

The men's calendar photos were inspired by 80s TV Stars.  All proceeds from the TyK Project go directly to the Chicago Women’s Health Center [CWHC].
