World Naked Bike Ride

What to wear? Do not fear! The World Naked Bike Ride dress code is "Bare As You Dare"... How bare is that ? How dare is that ?...Its all up to you, you decide what you are comfortable with. No one is excluded or discriminated against based on levels of clothing, body paint, or anything else, for that matter!

World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human-powered transport (the vast majority on bicycles, and fewer on skateboards, rollerblades, roller skates) to "protest oil dependency and celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies".

The first Naked Bike Ride was celebrated in Zaragoza, Spain, in 2001. In 2003 Conrad Schmidt conceived the World Naked Bike Ride after organizing the Naked Bike Rides. WNBR rapidly started to come to life through collaborations with activist groups and individuals around the world.

In March and June 2008, in cities around the world, people will be riding bikes naked to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against car culture.

The messages spread by WNBR are Save the planet, It's time to put a stop to the indecent exposure of people and the planet to cars and the pollution they create, Breathe easier, Body image/self awareness. Self-sufficiency, Think Globally-Act locally, Less is more, Community-building, Peace of mind etc...

"Our message to the world is one of simplification, human harmony and love. For a future to exist for tomorrows generations, we have to stop wasting the life blood energy of the Earth, stop fighting and killing in the name of consumerist wealth accumulation and learn to love and respect all life on this planet."
