"Whenever Kyoko rode her bike, all you'd see were her tail lights fly right past you, like a red butterfly tearing into the night!"

This is definitely it! Thanks.
But wow, everything has a wiki nowadays.
Around 2001 I caught part of a fansubbed episode or movie that my roommate was watching. It was probably no older than 1998 and had a high school (or possibly junior high) setting. The plot dealt with a group of girls who were called "the Butterflies" because the founder of their club/group/whatever wore a multicolored jacket, and when she rode her bike it would ripple in the wind, making her look like a butterfly.
