Jarico Reese and Erin Peruse organized the first Bike Rodeo on May 23, 1996, outside of Cyclone Warehouse in San Francisco.
The event was a call to all local artists to build any type of bicycle attraction they could think of and bring it to the Bike Rodeo.
The Suburban Intruder is a Frankenstein combination of a push mower and a bicycle: "2000 are in production to mow a strip across America", states Reese in a performance.
Enough so that they have been paid (minimally) to perform all over the U.S., in places such as Austin, Berkeley, Boise, Durango, Flagstaff, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival), Los Angeles, Mexico City, New Orleans, New York, Oakland, Point Arena, Portland, Reno, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Seattle, and Tucson.
Around the San Francisco Bay Area, Cyclecide is often found billed at large art events such as 'Sand by the Ton' and Yuri's Night.
Cyclecide invites all other altered bike clubs to San Francisco for a weekend of activities including a poker run, a day of feasting (BBQ), and a show with the rides set up.
