Thanks, Lauren! Very good idea! Actually, a dancer friend of mine has just offered to tutor a group of group of enthusiastic friends and come up with a piece.
I've been in touch with a few troupes throughout the country. No one has heard of anyone in my area but they have been asking around for me. I really appreciate everyone's suggestions. Hopefully, I can return the favor, soon. Thanks!

Bicycle performance troupes are rad, but not so helpful if they're not in your area, huh? You could try soliciting other theatre and performance artists (clowns, circus peops, dancers, etc) to create a simple performance for the event. In my experience, performers are generally stoked for the opportunity and happy to develop a short piece.

Ahoy, ThinkTank-ers!
I'm coordinating a community bicycle event in New Bedford, Massachusetts and would like to feature as many local bike organizations as possible. This will be a full day family-friendly celebration, filled with games, workshops, films and music. The entire event will kick-off with a bicycle parade led by SCUL (We're a local chopper bicycle gang based in Somerville, MA with a chapter in New Bedford, MA. - www.scul.org).
Additionally, we would like to invite local artists and performers who use bicycles in their work. I'd love to have a bicycle dance team like the "Sprockettes" in Portland, OR or the "Bay Area Derailleurs" in San Francisco. Ideally, these acts would come from the Southeastern Massachusetts area but all groups are welcome. Unfortunately, there is very little funding so there will be no monetary compensation but I'm willing to buy everyone lunch. Does anyone have any information regarding bicycle performing artists? I look forward to hearing from you.
