==Upcoming rides==
2009 marks the '''sixth year''' that [[wikipedia:Seattle|Seattle]] will be staging WNBR events and our '''18th Ride!''' '''Nine affiliated rides''' are being tentatively scheduled for WNBR Seattle in 2009. Two WNBR Seattle 2009 affiliated events have already taken place in June and July. Counting [[wikipedia:Solstice Cyclists|Solstice Cyclists]] and [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Pride_Ride Body Pride Ride], that will give Seattle a total of '''eleven [[wikipedia:Clothing-optional bike ride|clothing-optional bike rides]]''', easily a record number of rides in one year! This year's theme is '''Abundance'''!

==Goals==

===Global mission===

The message of WNBR focuses on promoting cycling. Find out more about the WNBR global message see the [[about|global WNBR message section]]

===Local goals===
"Reclaim our streets, our bodies, our parks, our city, our self-reliance!"

Beyond the above goals, the WNBR Seattle event focuses on the following:

#'''Community building'''. Have fun and express our creativity while engaging and enjoying various communities in Seattle. Celebrate both the diversity and the oneness of the human experience.
#'''Protest oil dependency and advocate renewable energy sources'''; the joy of cycling; sustainable, car-free transportation solutions; and walkable communities. Bicycles are BEST - Better Ecologically Sustainable Transport.
#'''Bring attention to the local safety concerns of cyclists.''' Help people begin to see cyclists [http://rideofsilence.org] and share the road. Sharing the road does not mean cars get the lane and bikes get the gutter or car door lane! (See also [http://www.ghostcycle.org/ ghostcycle.org])
#'''Rejoice in the power and individuality of our bodies.''' Promote body-positive ideals and activities. Advocate the development of [http://seattlebeaches.org/ free beaches in Seattle] and encourage more family-friendly, clothing-optional use of community spaces.
#'''Show solidarity with other naked cycling events around the world.''' Many WNBR events will be riding on the same date.
#'''Generate interest in similar progressive and artistic regional events''' such as those organized by [http://cityrepair.org The City Repair Project] - Village Building Convergence, [http://www.thinksmall.org/ Car Free Seattle], [http://www.hempfest.org/ Seattle Hempfest], [[Wikipedia:Fremont Arts Council|Fremont Arts Council]], [[Wikipedia:Solstice Cyclists|Solstice Cyclists]] ([http://solsticecyclist.org/ SolsticeCyclist.org]), [http://www.seattlecriticalmass.org/ Seattle Critical Mass]/[http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Seattle_Critical_Ass Ass], [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Pride_Ride Body Pride Ride (BPR)], [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/NPRseattle Naked Pumpkin Run Seattle], Green America's [http://www.greenfestivals.org/seattle/ Green Festival Seattle], [http://www.burningman.com/ Burning Man] and Regional Burning Man events.

For more info, please see our [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/seattle/resources/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)]

==What to wear? Do not fear!==

:''For details, please see our [[Frequently asked questions]]''

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, bodypaint, or anything else, for that matter!

PLEASE be creative and colorful! Bodypainting and bike decorating is highly encouraged! See the above section on [[Seattle#Express_yourself!|creative expression]] and also visit our [[body art]] page.

The laws on nudity, for the most part are a bit vague, difficult and often unpopular to enforce. The principal concern of most citizens is to eliminate creepy, predatory, exploitative, destructive and abusive behavior. WNBR is a fun, inspirational, non-confrontational body-positive event with a positive message of hope. That is why the ride has been such a huge hit and so many are supportive. Just use common sense and mind your manners! Nude is not lewd!

Since most of us did not grow up in a body-positive society, many will look at you with curiosity and amusement. You will probably notice that different sections of town have different cultural reactions to nudity. Some may feel mildly intimidated because they still might have issues with their own bodies and your shameless ways are unsettling to their body-phobic world. Just be friendly and respectful and things should be fine. Remember we are all human and we all have the same parts.

::"Gymnophobia (from the Greek word for nude gymnos) is the fear of being (or seeing others) naked. A gymnophobic person usually wants to prevent others from experiencing the freedom of not wearing clothes."

If you are concerned, you probably don't need to cover up much to be "legal". With the incredible transforming powers of a little body paint, liquid latex, a strategically placed sock, or a piece of duct tape you too can transform the average city streaking naked wild cyclist into "The legal city streaking naked wild cyclist". Be creative: a little imagination can change everything.

WNBR Seattle, [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/NPR_Seattle Seattle Naked Pumpkin Run], [http://hempride.org/ Hemp Ride] and [http://jaybirdrun.org/ Jaybird Run] are productions of the [http://organicparty.org/ Organic Living Party] (OLP). OLP is, in part, a revival of the German [[wikipedia:de:Lebensreform|Lebensreform]] movement. OLP's motto: "Participatory arts, recreation, citizen activism and play are not luxuries!"

Meetings are held to organize WNBR Seattle and are currently facilitated by Daniel Johnson, who would like to see development of an independent collective that would take over management of the event.

==Community support==

We appreciate all the local support and endorsements we have received! Please see a listing in the [[Endorsements#Seattle|Endorsements: Seattle]] and [[Endorsements#Global|Endorsements: Global]] wiki areas as well as links on our [http://WNBRsea.org main Seattle page at http://WNBRseattle.org].

J.Steve: info

Hi there Eugene folks! Just wanted to make sure the 11 June 2006 wasn't a typographical error. That puts the ride on Sunday the day after most of the Northern Hemisphere rides. There's nothing wrong with having the ride on the 11th, but if you meant to put 10th then you should change it.

Good luck organising the ride! Cheers!

==History==
===[[2004]]===
À quelques minutes du départ au Parc Jarry, l'événement est soudainement interdit. Les cyclistes n'auront jamais pris le départ.

===[[2005]]===
Un petit groupe se rassemble, aucun média, la manif n'a pas lieu.

===[[2006]]===
Absolument rien

===[[2007]]===
Finalement! Première participation de Montréal aux manifestations mondiales. En étroite communication avec les autorités de la ville, la nudité est tolérée et la manif est encadrée par les forces policières. La couverture médiatique laisse à désirer, la plupart des journaux et des postes de télévisions ne montrent que le départ: un zoo. On attendait 400 cyclistes, on a eu droit à 800 voyeurs. Une honte pour Montréal. La grande majorité des manifestants sont embarrassés par la meute en manque de peau. Ils préfèrent se joindre à la manif APRÈS le départ. Résultat: les quelques 20 ou 25 participants au départ sont des naturistes ayant répondu plus à l'appel de la nudité qu'à celui de l'environnement. Les médias ne manquent pas de le faire remarquer.

On attendait un affrontement avec les Juifs hassidiques de l'Avenue du Parc, c'est plutôt nos B.S. québécois qui feront le plus de grabuge. Partout sur la planète, c'est dans la joie que semble s'être déroulé les manifs. Montréal fait bande à part avec sa population n'ayant pas la moindre tolérance ou politesse. C'est correct de voir des enfants irakiens déchiquetés par les bombes étatsuniennes, mais n'allez surtout pas montrer un bout de fesse... Sacrilège!

Le plaisir débute 5 minutes plus tard sur Saint-Joseph lorsque les naturistes du départ ont finalement été noyés par les VERTS. Venant de partout, près d'une centaine de manifestants se sont joint au cortège en lançant des slogans et en saluant la foule. Les applaudissements fusaient de partout et l'atmosphère de confrontation du départ par la foule de débiles légers n'est plus qu'un mauvais souvenir. Félicitations à tous les vrais manifestants.

====Trajet pour 2007====
Départ au Parc Wilfrid-Laurier, au nord sur Brébeuf, à l'est sur St-Grégoire, au sud sur Papineau, à l'est sur Masson, au sud sur Parthenais, à l'ouest sur Saint-Joseph jusqu'à l'avenue du Parc, on monte du Parc au nord jusqu'à Van Horne, on emprunte Clark au sud pour finalement tourner à l'est sur Laurier pour revenir au parc. Total = approx. 42 minutes

''S.V.P. venez déjà décoré si telle est votre intention, aucune peinture ne sera disponible au lieu de rassemblement. Les médias seront présents mais n'ayez crainte, s'il s'agit de votre «première fois» (c'est toujours la meilleure!) vous ne serez plus nerveux après quelques minutes. Ce sont plutôt les gens habillés qui seront mal à l'aise!''

===[[2008]]===
L'ENVIRONNEMENT prendra la place qui lui revient pour cette seconde édition. Tous les VERTS sont invités à faire passer leurs messages. Même les attardés mentaux de GREENPEACE qui ont refusé de défendre la cause environnementaliste en 2007. Leur excuse? On ne participe pas parce qu'on ne participe pas. Tout un argument. Ils devraient tous être congédiés. Pensaient-ils qu'on leur donnerait un cachet pour être présents? Ils ont même refusé de fournir des dépliants sur l'environnement qui auraient pu être distribués à la population. Ils défendant quoi au juste? L'environnement ou les politiques moribondes du gouvernement? Sont-ils payés en-dessous de la table pour se taire? Quelqu'un a entendu parlé d'une action quelconque de Greenpeace Québec dernièrement ou depuis toujours? Pathétique.

Une aire à l'abri des voyeurs pourrait être aménagée pour permettre aux manifestants de se peinturer et de ne pas être filmés par les mongols pendant qu'ils se déshabillent. Des clôtures pourraient être installées pour tenir les rapaces à l'écart.

ILS FAUT QUE LES JEUNES ET LES FEMMES S'IMPLIQUENT. Est-ce que l'environnement est un domaine où seulement les hommes doivent prendre l'initiative?

À suivre

Seattle concerns

2007-07-28T15:57:29Z

J.Steve: /* 14 July 2007 */

{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb (Seattle)}}

==Opening statement==

The Organic Living/Work Less Party takes all allegations concerning inappropriate behavior by riders associated with the World Naked Bike Ride Seattle events seriously and we do whatever we can to investigate and help prevent future problems of a similar nature in future events. We are also open to suggestions by local government, local groups and citizens to improve our ride and reduce any conflicts. We will also do what we can to see if there are ways that we can be more clear about ride expectations and better enforce these values. We do have a very limited ride marshall program to help steer and pace the ride through the city and better control the actions of cyclists, especially in sensitive areas of the city. Also, all riders are asked to enforce our policies and values during the event and to take those values with them after the ride. People who are making unwelcome lewd or harassing gestures or engaging in criminal conduct against others should be prosecuted, according to the severity of their conduct, during any event, regardless of how they choose to dress themselves.

==Purpose==

One clarification, WNBR does not seek to "push boundaries" with regard to adherence to traffic laws, criminal sexual conduct or offensive behavior. This is a peaceful, joyful, artistic and non-confrontational event. As a large bicycle ride we do have some practical conflicts with the timing conflicts presented by some traffic lights in getting our riders through intersections and we do have some minor conflicts with beach regulations currently on the books regarding beaches, bikes and buttocks, but we are managing the best we can.

We ride to inspire citizens to make personal and political choices to turn away from oil dependency and car culture and promote positive views of the human body, the most amazing and beautiful transportation vessel and machine of our age. Like Al Gore in his recent film [http://climatecrisis.net An Inconvenient Truth] we believe there is a clear, moral imperative for us to act with regard to these issues. Individuals who act irresponsibly and out of spite to our event's values are not in compliance to WNBR values or its message and tarnish its effort to create a positive experience for our conscientious riders and the general public alike.

==14 July 2007==
===Beligerant participant===
===Arrests===
First three riders leaving Seward Park were arrested, cited, and released from a holding cell at the SPD South Precinct after about two hours.
===City of Seattle===
Communication amongst the various departments seems to have been lacking in a big way in 2007. WNBR organizers are looking into what happened and who was responsible.

==10 June 2006==

:''See also: [[Seattle 10 June 2006]] ride report page. Note: There were no known complaints made during the main 2004 and 2005 events, except for the mini ride in September 2005.''

For our June 10, 2006 ride there were, to be clear, very, very few incidents of what we would call evidence of offense taken by the public (looking away, verbal complaints/exchanges, et cetera) during our ride. However, each incident merits a careful look at whether or not the situation could have been somehow been mitigated or if it was simply an example of a minor culture clash regarding beliefs about the rights of cyclists and the human body. We do understand and respect that some people are offended by cyclists riding two abreast on streets, taking up a lane of traffic and the appearance of human bodies in general. We try to be respectful of these concerns by communicating a set of [[Seattle#How_to_avoid_trouble|guidelines]] to our riders.

We are confused and a bit disappointed by a recent formal SPD Public Disclosure Request letter dated July 5, 2006 by mail which indicated there were no complaints with regard to our ride, which we can confirm is NOT the case based on three complaints we have read thus far. These clear holes in the reports clearly question the validity that the Public Disclosure Requests have, which WNBR and other event organizers have requested in past years.

===Complaint 1===
A complaint from a citizen at Seward Park, DJ did witness this exchange. It did not seem too intense though, our riders did discuss issues with the citizen, but kept it very light-hearted. The citizen objected to nudity and felt it was only appropriate at home. Some of our riders countered that if we were meant to be naked we would have been born that way. The citizen left and apparently felt the need to call 911.

====From the city====
Date: June 21, 2006 9:09:40 AM PDT 
Subject: Re: Fwd: WNBR Seattle 2006 complaints? 

Daniel, hi. 

Here's the text that was sent to the mayor: 

"It is 3:55 pm and I just ret'd from Bicycle Sat. (6/10) Approx. 15 minutes ago, a group of 40-50 naked people, mostly men, were riding in a pack along the public road that is closed to bike riders for the day. This type of exhibitionism is inappropriate in public settings and should be outlawed. If people want to display nudity in their own home, fine. I draw the line at this type of nudity especially at a publicly sponsored City event where children must be exposed to what I consider inappropriate and crass behavior. People partake in BicycleSaturday and Sunday as a way of spending quality time with their families. I called 911 and they were aware of the problem and the dispatcher said that they were trying to deal with it. Fine, but I believe there needs to be a public rule about this and you as Mayor need to enforce it. Thank you. "

So, evidently not a matter of anything riders did while naked, but the basic premise of their being naked in public.

===Complaint 2===
A complaint at Madrona Park (visit two after returning from Seward Park) as viewable in the Madison Park Times Police Log section [http://www.zwire.com/site/tab5.asp?brd=855&pag=460&dept_id=569386].

====Police Log====
Madrona

Nude bicyclists: A woman in her early 40s called police at 5:15 p.m. on June 10 after seeing nude people at Madrona Beach.

Police arrived to find more than a hundred clothed people there, with more than half being children. All the nude people had left, the woman said.

She said she and a friend were walking in the park when she saw "all these nude people walking around"; some had bicycles with them. The police report said she was appalled at the sight and wondered why nudity at the beach was permissible.

The officer told the woman that the World Naked Bike Ride was taking place, from Eastlake to Capitol Hill to Madrona.

He then told her a police report could be written if she wanted "to be a victim." She said she did, stating she felt violated and that she was a tax-paying citizen. She added that this type of obscenity should not be allowed.

====WNBR rider response====
"Interesting that none of the "more than a hundred" other people did not feel victimized."

"Why should one person be able to consider it 'obscene'."

"There is such a thing as 'community standards' and the majority of the 'community' seemed well pleased with us. Remember the "Happy Birthday"? No problem there."

===Complaint 3===
Complaint from Spanaway resident in the vicinity of Husky Stadium (documented below).

====Complaint====

Dear Mayor, I just want to let you know how upset I am about your city. I drove up on June 10th, 2006 to visit my husband in UW medical center when he had a kidney transplant. There was a lot of traffic due to the University commencement ceramony. I was not too bothered with the traffic, though, I was bothered with the naked bike riders on the sidewalks. I can not believe they got to do this on this day with families of young children all around and I understand they were doing this to prove some kind of point, (perhaps their just crazy), but, when it turns sexual, I have issues. A young woman was walking on the same side as the bike riders and she appeared to have had morals, when they rode by, she put up a book to block from seeing them and an elderly (I use the term losely) gentleman rode by her and shouted to her and pointed to his private area saying, "it's right here baby". They are now on the verge of being obscene and indecent. I also saw a young child riding along, which to me, is explotation of a child. How could this be? I also saw a female, with tassels on her...well, she was flaunting them to the traffic. Could they have just made a statement with their clothes on? Why did it have to get so sexual? I thank the Lord my children were not with me on that day. It is hard enough to try to raise them up with values and seeing other people do as they please makes it very hard to explain. Please tell me why? Thnak you for your time, (name removed for privacy)

====City Response====
July 12, 2006 

:''Note: The name, address and e-mail address of the woman from Spanaway who complained to the City has been removed.'' 

Dear Ms. X: 

Mayor Nickels asked me to respond on his behalf to your message about the nude bicycle ride you encountered near the UW Medical Center. 

The Citywide Special Events committee, which issues permits for special events, is headed by a Seattle Parks and Recreation staff member. However, the World Naked Bike Ride which you encountered was not a permitted event: the Seattle Police Department had determined that its 64 riders could feasibly ride with existing traffic and obey normal traffic regulations, and so did not require a special-event permit. 

While public nudity is objectionable to many citizens, under Washington state’s Indecent Exposure Law, public nudity in itself is not illegal. The law specifies that “A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm.” In order to file a formal complaint, a citizen can contact police to report the particular behavior and register his or her willingness to testify in court if the nude person is cited for indecent exposure. 

Unfortunately, it is impossible to control all illegal and inappropriate activities in our parks and on our streets. Public officials cannot prevent an event from happening on the basis of its potential offensiveness, only on the basis of its being illegal. The World Naked Bike Ride you encountered was not illegal. There will always be people who push the boundaries, and from your description it sounds as though there were a few of those on the ride. I am forwarding your complaint to the organizer of the World Naked Bike Ride who, of course, is always interested in the public’s reactions. 

I am sorry you had an unpleasant experience in our city, and I know that Mayor Nickels joins me in wishing your husband a thorough and speedy recovery from his recent surgery. 

Sincerely, 
Kenneth R. Bounds 
Superintendent, Seattle Parks and Recreation

====WNBR Seattle investigates====
We currently have no conclusive info exactly on what happened. We are concerned though if there truly was unnecessary remarks made or offensive behavior. One of the riders had this to say:

"I saw the woman and heard the comment from the bike rider... The facts she stated are very much as I remember them. I can not with 100% certainty identify the bike rider who made the comment."

"She was giving the riders a very mean look. It was the worst reaction I saw all day. Perhaps he was trying to get even?"

"My opinion is that this kind of behavior should be strongly discouraged during future bike rides."

===Other incidents===
In addition to these complaints I also heard of or witnessed the following incidents during our event:

====Incident 1====
One parent, who seemingly could not stop smiling, directed her children to look away from riders on Harrison Street at the Seattle Center. Several of her children decided for themselves to look anyway, while another toddler had the strange reaction of covering its ears. This curious reaction was documented on our photography page.

=====Rider comment=====
Quinton noted this interesting juxtapozition with the other: "...while next to her was another woman with children saying 'look! look!'"

====Incident 2====
An exchange at a very busy Cal Anderson Park where a citizen apparently protested that there were children present in the park, we countered that there was also a child (10 years old) present in our ride and the situation seemed to diffuse. SPD officers at CA were overheard (by some of our friends who were not in the ride) making comments questioning the morality of our ride.

====Incident 3====
A male yells "idiots" very angrily and loudly from a car stuck in UW Commencement traffic as we passed gridlocked traffic effortlessly by.

====Incident 4 (internal)====
A rider complainted that another rider was using his cell phone during the ride to take close-up pictures of riders, including photos which looked to be focused on the personal areas of female riders. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated.

That's it. So that is a handful of complaints from a nine hour, city-wide event. That's not too bad, but, as the saying goes: "there's always room for improvement".

==A successful ride==
Overall, our ride was very well received and our riders were very happy to see so much of the city, most areas having never experienced such a ride before. People screamed in support, honked their horns, one driver wanted to join our ride, one reserved family picninc at Madrona Park insisted we sing happy birthday for two family members and on and on. A lot of citizens came up to us and wanted to talk with us about our event and wanted to take pictures with us. One pair of riders this year were newly weds, celebrating their marriage with white flowing headdress and black tie. Our tradition of stopping at the International Fountain was a completely magical experience for all. Our ride along Lake Washington and as participants in Seattle's Group Health Bicycle Saturday and Sunday event was awe-inspiring with sweeping views of the Cascades and Lake Washington. For a third year in a row, the Ride the Ducks of Seattle bus and boat tour has been stalking and following us through Wallingford and Fremont, and we also ran into several other tour buses full of tourists waving, smiling, pointing and taking pictures. This phenomenon is also documented here: [http://seattle.metblogs.com/archives/2005/06/world_naked_bik.phtml]

==Access to parks==

WNBR has requested use of parks to stage artistic and musical components of our event and to allow for body painting. We do put up screens to provide our participants privacy from leering eyes while painting and also to reduce the numbers of complaints from people who are offended by humans.

We have also asked for access to fountains and beaches, because, well... everybody loves to go to the beach and run through fountains...

We also need to use the bathroom, especially when we drink so much water to stay hydrated for such a long bike ride. The easiest bathrooms to use are in parks.

We also scheduled a modified yoga session on Lake Washington lead by a professional yoga instructor midway to help people stretch.

Part of the local adaptation of the body-positive message of WNBR is to support a large ensemble of Northwest groups who are pushing for Seattle to join other cities in providing clothing-optional areas on local beaches. As more people travel and visit other states and countries, they want the same experiences locally that they have experienced abroad. Add to that a new level of desperation with not being able to afford to drive or fly with the high price of gas and you can see what more citizens are encouraging reform. For more information see [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Seattle_beaches Seattle Beaches]

==Children & Nudity==
:''See also [[wikipedia:Nudity and children|Nudity and children]] Wikipedia article.

As you may know, there is no study of any kind linking children and non-sexual nudity to any negative effects. There is no harm. Despite this fact, many raise concern about children seeing naked people in non-sexualized contexts. See http://www.fcn.ca/children_2.htm The fact that many children choose for themselves to be naked on many occasions seems evidence enough.

Two of the four annual naked rides in our city do have families participating as both riders and spectators with riders ranging in age from probably two years old to eighty I would imagine. WNBR does not target any particular age group during our rides nor do we intentionally avoid any area of town to avoid children. If you think about it, children are everywhere, they are part of the general population. Expecting us to avoid areas with children is akin to asking us not to ride in any part of the city with deciduous trees or fruit-bearing plants. Beaches have children, and so do parks, shopping districts, streets and tourist areas.

We do not crash school assemblies or religious events, although we have been through weddings and family birthday parties, but not intentionally. I have never seen a child take offense to a naked/painted cyclists in the ten urban naked cycling events I have participated in up and down the West Coast. Children do show interest in painted naked cyclists and people running through the fountain. Indeed, I would be concerned about any ride that was not "family-friendly" and instead advertised itself as "adults-only". That would suggest to me that it was not appropriate for a public environment.

Anybody who has ever been around children of any kind would know that kids whine, complain, cry and throw fits if they are not having fun. Our 10 year old kid who has participated for two years outlasted and outrode many of the adults during our record-breaking 27+ mile ride. He went swimming in the lake when most of us were put off by the cold of the water and clearly enjoyed riding through the city. How that is exploitation is beyond me. Kids are just as capable of enjoying biking and swimming just like anybody else. Its hard to imagine that parents would bring their kids to watch or participate in WNBR or the Fremont Summer Solstice Parade in droves if there was any chance of exploitation or seeing something creepy. It is a serious problem when families instill in their children that bodies are inherently obscene and exist only in the contexts of life support, sexuality and mundane bodily functions. Those are not positive values which we should pass on to future generations. It is troubling for me to hear that parents believe that somehow discussions about the natural appearance of the human body, of which all of us are directly connected with, somehow constitutes a difficult and awkward conversation that someone could resent having with a living being that they gave life to in the first place.

==Closing remarks==
It is unfortunate that so much of the dialogue WNBR Seattle has had with the city is about concerns about our ride's legality and not our message, which is the whole point. WNBR has a very important role to play, even if a small one, of joining other advocacy groups and concerned citizens in instilling a sense of urgency when discussing issues of climate change, the value that cycling has in this regard and instilling positive view of the human body. We are far less offensive than our cycling counterparts Critical Mass by showing that we can share the road and be polite at the same time. A large majority of the CM riders really do want to create a positive change in their community and inspire people to ride their bikes more often by having large, celebratory bike rides. The WNBR Seattle Collective team members have really tried to address a large number of concerns that the city has with the ride because we understand that acting responsibly during our rides, following traffic laws and regulations, will leave a better impression on those who we are reaching out to, the general public.

==Rules for the Vancouver ride==
*Nudity is not forced on anybody. You decide what you are comfortable with.
*Respect the diversity of many different body types, and refrain from ogling.
*Realize that although we are naked, many people consider that private parts are still private. Don't bring them up as a topic of conversation with somebody you do not know.

==Naked bike riding tips==
*Prepare for riding rain or shine!
*If sunny, put on sunscreen!
*We often start the ride with some clothing on and then stop away from the crowds to get bare!
*You do not have to be naked to join the ride.
*Wear shoes!
*Keep your clothes with you -- you never know when you may need them (like... after the ride).
*Decorate your bike! Come with signs and funky hats! Cover your bike seat with fun fur.
*Ride safely and stay together as a group.
*Tell your friends! Spread the word!

==History==
The first naked bike ride in Vancouver was in the middle of winter, on 17 Jan [[:Category:2002 ride locations|2002]].

Since then we've had many rides, mostly in winter and in the rain. For more information please visit [http://www.artistsagainstwar.org/ www.artistsagainstwar.org].

Talk:Seattle

2007-07-23T07:31:09Z

J.Steve:

===2007 date scheduling===
Ride will be Saturday, July 14, 2007. [[Seattle]] has some conflicts that it needs to consider for scheduling.

====Too many naked bike rides too close together!====
This ride must not conflict with the [http://solsticecyclists.org Solstice Cyclists] on the Saturday closest to Summer Solstice in June or [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beeper/ Body Pride Ride] which is the week after that. In 2005 and 2006, there were three naked bike rides in three weeks! Way too many, especially for the organizers and artists who are staging the event.

[http://hempride.org Hemp Ride] is not a concern since it will always be scheduled around WNBR and will take place in August.

====Other conflicts====
We also want to avoid conflict with any regional Burning Man events such as Critical Massive and Burn in the Forest (mid July) or the Seattle to Portland Ride (if possible). We also really enjoyed the Group Health Bicycle Saturday and Sundays event, which is only on select weekends. Also, if we schedule too late in the summer, it is harder for us to get access to the International Fountain at the Seattle Center. It would also be good not to conflict with Bare Buns Fun Runs. Lifeguards are not even dispatched to Seattle public beaches until late June.

Seattle has scheduled '''Sat, 14 July 2007''', as it is several weeks after BPR (much needed breathing room) and it falls on a Group Health Bicycle Saturday and Sundays day. Some in the bodypainting team want it even later in July or August while others want to keep in line with the dates of other global WNBR events.

==2008==

While the official "naked" bike ride has been postponed, we are encouraging everyone to take part in a bike ride put together by East Lansing's Critical Mass that will go through the Dream Cruise while its happening. It will be entirely peaceful, because hey, we have a right to the roads too.

I will post more details about that later.

Also, be sure to take part in the GREEN CRUISE! Its happening August 11th in Ferndale at 1pm. Its hosted by the Sierra Club and is a sort of "save our environment" function that goes against the dream cruise.

Note on # of riders: Later that day, Christy mentioned that she had #59, so 55 cyclists couldn't be correct. This prompted me to recheck remaining placards. Sure enough, #58 an 59 were given out, but #56 and 57 were not, taking our numbers from 55 to a confirmed 57. You may not think this as a big deal, but I do believe that every person counts.

==Goals==

===Global mission===

The message of WNBR focuses on promoting cycling. Find out more about the WNBR global message see the [[about|global WNBR message section]]

===Local goals===
"Reclaim our streets, our bodies, our parks, our city, our self-reliance!"

Beyond the above goals, the WNBR Seattle event focuses on the following:

(1) '''Community building. Have fun and express our creativity''' while engaging and enjoying various communities in Seattle. Celebrate both the diversity and the oneness of the human experience.

(2) '''Protest oil dependency and advocate renewable energy sources; the joy of cycling; sustainable, car-free transportation solutions'''; and '''walkable communities'''. Bicycles are BEST - Better Ecologically Sustainable Transport.

(3) '''Bring attention to the local safety concerns of cyclists.'''

Help people begin to '''SEE CYCLISTS [http://rideofsilence.org] and SHARE THE ROAD.''' Sharing the road does not mean cars get the lane and bikes get THE GUTTER or CAR DOOR LANE! (See also [http://www.ghostcycle.org ghostcycle.org])

(4) '''Rejoice in the power and individuality of our bodies. Promote body-positive ideals and activities. Advocate the development of [http://seattlebeaches.org free beaches in Seattle] and encourage more family-friendly, clothing-optional use of community spaces.'''

(5) '''Show solidarity with other naked cycling events around the world.''' Many WNBR events will be riding on June 9th in 2007.

(6) '''Generate interest in similar progressive and artistic regional events''' such as those organized by [http://www.thinksmall.org Car Free Seattle], [http://www.hempfest.org Seattle Hempfest], [[Wikipedia:Fremont Arts Council|Fremont Arts Council]], [[Wikipedia:Solstice Cyclists|Solstice Cyclists]] ([http://solsticecyclist.org SolsticeCyclist.org - official site]), [http://www.seattlecriticalmass.org Seattle Critical Mass], [http://riseup.net/artofresistance/ The Art of Resistance], [http://www.burningman.com The Burning Man Project] and Regional Burning Man events.

For more info, please see our [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/seattle/resources/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

==What to wear? Do not fear!==

:''For details, please see our [[Frequently asked questions]]''

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, bodypaint, or anything else, for that matter!

If you are concerned, you probably don't need to cover up much to be "legal". With the incredible transforming powers of a little body paint, liquid latex, a strategically placed sock, or a piece of duct tape you too can transform the average city streaking naked wild cyclist into "The legal city streaking naked wild cyclist". Be creative: a little imagination can change everything.

==Goals==

===Global mission===

The message of WNBR focuses on promoting cycling. Find out more about the WNBR global message see the [[about|global WNBR message section]]

===Local goals===
"Reclaim our streets, our bodies, our parks, our city, our self-reliance!"

Beyond the above goals, the WNBR Seattle event focuses on the following:

(1) '''Community building. Have fun and express our creativity''' while engaging and enjoying various communities in Seattle. Celebrate both the diversity and the oneness of the human experience.

(2) '''Protest oil dependency and advocate renewable energy sources; the joy of cycling; sustainable, car-free transportation solutions'''; and '''walkable communities'''. Bicycles are BEST - Better Ecologically Sustainable Transport.

(3) '''Bring attention to the local safety concerns of cyclists.'''

Help people begin to '''SEE CYCLISTS [http://rideofsilence.org] and SHARE THE ROAD.''' Sharing the road does not mean cars get the lane and bikes get THE GUTTER or CAR DOOR LANE! (See also [http://www.ghostcycle.org ghostcycle.org])

(4) '''Rejoice in the power and individuality of our bodies. Promote body-positive ideals and activities. Advocate the development of [http://seattlebeaches.org free beaches in Seattle] and encourage more family-friendly, clothing-optional use of community spaces.'''

(5) '''Show solidarity with other naked cycling events around the world.''' Many WNBR events will be riding on June 9th in 2007.

(6) '''Generate interest in similar progressive and artistic regional events''' such as those organized by [http://www.thinksmall.org Car Free Seattle], [http://www.hempfest.org Seattle Hempfest], [[Wikipedia:Fremont Arts Council|Fremont Arts Council]], [[Wikipedia:Solstice Cyclists|Solstice Cyclists]] ([http://solsticecyclist.org SolsticeCyclist.org - official site]), [http://www.seattlecriticalmass.org Seattle Critical Mass], [http://riseup.net/artofresistance/ The Art of Resistance], [http://www.burningman.com The Burning Man Project] and Regional Burning Man events.

For more info, please see our [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/seattle/resources/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

==What to wear? Do not fear!==

:''For details, please see our [[Frequently asked questions]]''

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, bodypaint, or anything else, for that matter!

PLEASE be creative and colorful! Bodypainting and bike decorating is highly encouraged! See the above section on [[Seattle#Express_yourself!|creative expression]] and also visit our [[body art]] page.

The laws on nudity, for the most part are a bit vague, difficult and often unpopular to enforce. The principal concern of most citizens is to eliminate creepy, predatory, exploitative, destructive and abusive behavior. WNBR is a fun, inspirational, non-confrontational body-positive event with a positive message of hope. That is why the ride has been such a huge hit and so many are supportive. Just use common sense and mind your manners! Nude is not lewd!

Since most of us did not grow up in a body-positive society, many will look at you with curiosity and amusement. You will probably notice that different sections of town have different cultural reactions to nudity. Some may feel mildly intimidated because they still might have issues with their own bodies and your shameless ways are unsettling to their body-phobic world. Just be friendly and respectful and things should be fine. Remember we are all human and we all have the same parts.

::"Gymnophobia (from the Greek word for nude gymnos) is the fear of being (or seeing others) naked. A gymnophobic person usually wants to prevent others from experiencing the freedom of not wearing clothes."

If you are concerned, you probably don't need to cover up much to be "legal". With the incredible transforming powers of a little body paint, liquid latex, a strategically placed sock, or a piece of duct tape you too can transform the average city streaking naked wild cyclist into "The legal city streaking naked wild cyclist". Be creative: a little imagination can change everything.

Find out more about past WNBR Seattle Rides by reading a history, the official WNBR Seattle ride reports and also view the press and media coverage, blogging, journals, newswire, discussion groups. For other cities click [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/resources/pastevents.html here].

==History==
Seattle was the second city to organize a WNBR event, after Vancouver BC, and the first [[United States]] city to organize a ride. [[Daniel Johnson]] met with [[Conrad Schmidt]] after both participated in an [http://www.artistsagainstwar.ca/ Artists Against War]/[http://www.artistsforpeace.ca/ Artists for Peace]/[http://www.worklessparty.org/ Work Less Party] (AAW/AFP/WLP) Go As Bare as You Dare ride (which Conrad organized) in [[Vancouver]], BC. Conrad expressed interest in creating an international naked cycling event modeled after the rides in [[Vancouver]] and Daniel committed to having one in Seattle.

The idea to start off the ride in the Fremont and Wallingford districts of Seattle was because these neighborhoods have been supportive of painted/naked cycling in the past. This is due to the continuing success and growing creativity of the [[wikipedia:Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade|Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade]] who have been a highlight of the Summer Solstice Parade held annually in [[Wikipedia:Fremont|Fremont]]. The Painted Cyclists participate in the artistic spirit and non-political atmosphere of the Summer Solstice Parade in Fremont, held on the Saturday closest to the Summer Solstice (exactly one week after WNBR). The painted cyclists are world famous — no one has outdone them in terms of the numbers of uniquely-made full-body bodypainting and kustom bike jobs!

[[Wikipedia:Gas Works Park|Gas Works Park]] has traditionally been the end of the parade route and the end of the naked cycling, yet its easy access to The Burke-Gilman Trail beckons riders to continue on to explore other parts of the greater Seattle area. In addition to the Painted Cyclists, WNBR Seattle was also inspired by the the AAW/AFP/WLP Rides in [[Vancouver]] BC and [http://www.ciclonudista.net/ Manifestación Ciclonudista] in [[Spain]], which predate WNBR.

With regard to the WNBR Seattle route, Daniel felt that leaving the area via the Fremont Bridge would provide a feeling that the cyclists would cover new ground, outside the established safe-haven of primarily artistic freedoms, into those that also integrate more political and social concerns. In 2004 he stated that "our aspirations are symbolized by our push to reach the International Fountain at the Seattle Center, giving the event an international scope and highlighting the global appeal and need for our message". Having reached that goal, Daniel is encouraging others to reinvent the ride every year, to keep the event fresh and interesting for riders and spectators alike.

In 2003, Conrad and Daniel chose the June 12th, 2004 for WNBR to coincide with other ride events, which predate WNBR; and to take advantage of the nice weather around the Summer Solstice. There was an attempt to combine both painted naked rides in Seattle at the time, however, many of the Solstice Cyclists preferred that their event appear to be more spontaneous and without an overt message, respecting the parade's festive, non-political context. Up until early 2006, the name and e-mailing list of the painted cyclists group was kept somewhat secret to avoid unwanted hassles.

Those participating in WNBR, operate in a distinctly different context and respect the request that the two events stay separate. While both groups strive to have a fun time, those involved with WNBR are also biking in solidarity with others in cities across the globe who wish to engage the public with a message. Up until 2006 they were the only painted/naked ride to openly publicize their events so that a larger number of people have the opportunity to participate. This changed in 2006 when Body Pride Ride launched highly visible naked promo rides during Seattle Critical Mass in March and April 2006, and when the Solsice Cyclists launched their public web site.

In 2005 there were four naked bike rides in Seattle. Three of those occurred in three consecutive saturdays in June alone! The other two Seattle naked cycling events included the painted naked cyclists of the Fremont Solstice Parade (18 June, featuring about 160 riders!), and the premiere of the First Annual [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Pride_Ride Body Pride Ride] (June 26, a dozen cyclists) cycling around Capitol Hill and then as entry #186 in the Pride March. So, with WNBR, that was three separate naked rides in three weeks! In addition to ongoing monthly [http://scrimass.org Critical Mass] rides, 2005 marked the First Annual [http://IndependenceFromOil.org Independence From Oil Day] Parade (3 July) and the emergence of the [http://ghostcycle.org Ghostcycle] project, raising awareness of cyclists on the streets with evocative installations around the city.

The [[Seattle 10 June 2006|2006 WNBR Seattle event]] saw some significant improvements over previous years, despite holding steading to number of riders for three years straight. We spent just under 6 hours on the road and in the parks, approximately 27+ miles were covered! A new record for naked bike rides in Seattle. We were able to use many of the bathrooms in the park system this year and that really made things go so much smoother. We had about seven bathroom breaks! Our body painting area easily doubled, we had plenty of room for painting this year. We went up Pike street, a first. Much more fun than going up South Jackson in the International District and the hill really wasn't as bad as some were thinking. We stopped at Cal Anderson Park and took a shot at the water feature. The yoga session at Madronna Park with Mekosun was awesome and a first for Seattle! We stopped at Stan Sayres Park and hung out there for a while. Beautiful views. The ride to and around Seward Park was great. Views were awesome. We had an incredible presence at the Group Health Bicycle days event there. We completely took over a beach there and went in to the water and chilled out. We gathered to sing happy birthday to some family having a picnic at Madronna after visiting the park for a second time on the way back. We went through the Arboretum and over the Montlake Bridge, firsts for naked rides. And finally, after two years, we met up with UW Commencement graduates!

==History of Local Event==

Seattle was the first US city to organize a ride. Daniel Johnson met with Conrad Schmidt after both participated in an Artists Against War/Artists for Peace/Work Less Party (AAW/AFP/WLP) Go As Bare as You Dare ride in Vancouver, BC. Conrad expressed interest in creating an international naked cycling event modeled after the rides in Vancouver and Daniel committed to having one in Seattle. The Seattle Ride was inspired by the painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade, the AAW/AFP/WLP Rides in Vancouver BC and Manifestación Ciclonudista in Spain (España) 

Saturday, June 12, 2004 WNBR Seattle #1 Gas Works, Seattle Center International Fountain, Capital Hill 

Saturday, June 11, 2005 WNBR Seattle #2 Gas Works, Denny Park, [http://www.seattle.gov/fleetsfacilities/civiccenter/cityhall.htm City Hall], Capital Hill 

Saturday, Sept 24, 2005 WNBR Seattle #3 Autumnal Equinox Mini Ride from Myrtle Edwards Park to Discovery Park Beach 

2005 notes: There were four naked bike rides in Seattle this year. Three of those occurred in three consecutive saturdays in June alone! The other two Seattle naked cycling events included the painted naked cyclists of the Fremont Solstice Parade (June 18th - featuring ~160 riders!), and the premiere of the First Annual Body Pride Ride (BPR), read "beeper", at the Seattle Pride March (June 26th) ([http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beeper/ Yahoo! group]). So with WNBR that was three separate naked rides in three weeks!

In addition to ongoing monthly [http://scrimass.org Critical Mass] rides, 2005 marked the First Annual [http://IndependenceFromOil.org Independence From Oil Day] Parade (July 3rd ) and the emergence of the [http://ghostcycle.org Ghostcycle] project raising awareness of cyclists on the streets with evocative installations around the city.
