What should I wear, if anything? How can I use my body as a canvas to express myself creatively without looking like I've experienced a "wardrobe malfunction"?
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. The ride is clothing-optional. Be creative and colourful in expressing yourself! Bodypainting, customising your bike, and other creative expression is strongly encouraged!
If you look at the history section of this site you will notice different groups have different approaches to their rides regarding body adornment. As an example, Seattle has a well-established naked bike ride during the Summer Solstice Parade that prides itself on its display of body painting creativity. In fact some even have dropped the "naked" in their name to call them the Painted Cyclists. Despite their streaker roots, a few among them even look down on participants who are just naked. We don't do that, our event is not strictly artistic, however, we strongly encourage people to express themselves and be colourful.
You can find ideas and resources for bodypainting on our Body Art page.
