An alleycat of a very different sort took place in Somerville last Saturday, as 28-year-old cyclists Dan Pugatch and Heather DePersis turned a macho tradition into a celebration of their love for each other – and for bikes.

Boston has seen a pastry-themed alleycat, where riders gobbled sweets, and a horror-movie alleycat. But no one recalls a wedding-themed alleycat. So the race organized by Pugatch and DePersis may have been the first.

About 20 minutes into the race, 25-year-old Eric Stratton of Allston and two friends raced up to the Somerville Library.

“Have you ever been to a wedding? Then you know the Chicken Dance,’’ said race monitor Elin Wilcox, 24, of Somerville.

The three riders dropped their bikes and pinched their hands into beaks, dancing along as the monitors da-da-da’d the famous Chicken Dance melody. Then the cyclists were off.

“I’m getting to the actual wedding by pedicab,’’ DePersis said. And parked on top of the cake, as a symbol of the couple’s love, will be a tiny, working, souped-up tandem bike.

“Match made in heaven,’’ said the bride’s friend Melissa Haeffner, 31. “Bike heaven.’’
