==History of Local Event==
+
===2008===
The concept of a Naked Bike Ride through the college town of Burlington, Vermont was introduced in the Autumn of 2004 by John, the owner of Vermont's Nudist Website at www.nakedinvermont.com. A Yahoo group was created for the purpose of allowing people interested in such a ride to gather and plan the very first ride through Burlington.  
+
Sat 7 June 2008, 2pm, Rose Street Artists Coop. - About 110 riders. The cops were tailing us the whole time - so I went and talked to them about the ridiculousness of them spending energy to "protect" us from the cheering waving people, and I don't think they'll be so closely involved in 09. There was another ride started in Montpelier this year and we coordinated ride times to start together - the had about 40 to 50 riders with no incident. That's a good 100% growth for our state from what little I remember about 2007.  
  
With the help of many local people, the first ride took place on June 11, 2005. The ride commenced on North Winooski Avenue and proceeded to downtown and wound through the streets of Burlington down Bank Street and over to College Street, Main Street and around several other high traffic streets. A Burlington Police Officer on a Bike temporarily escorted the naked bike riders through several streets until crowds of people started yelling for the officer to get naked or get out of the ride. Crowds cheered and applauded the naked riders as they made their way through town.  
+
===2007===
 +
I forget what happened in 2007 - but I do know we get more riders every year, and that the only bad weather year was 2006.
  
The first Naked Bike Ride was shown in 7 Days Newspaper and included a nice photo of the riders while they had stopped on College Street for free refreshments provided by a local business.  
+
===2006===
 +
The 2006 World Naked Bike Ride was Burlngton's second annual event and the most excellent so far. It was a rainy and unseasonably cold day in Burlington – 49 degrees – but still we had about 60 riders: more than double the number on the first ride in 2005. We are hoping June 2007 will be more June-like! With the amount of buzz and promotion, I think we could have filled the streets! We were the lead story on the local news both Friday night and on Saturday, ensuring the message was spread beyond the umbrellaed spectators! Photos of the ride can be seen in our Yahoo! group and also on our website (see [[{{PAGENAME}}#Links|links]] below).
  
There are plans to host a Naked Bike Ride in June of 2006 and hopefully every year to come.

The cops were tailing us the whole time - so I went and talked to them about the ridiculousness of them spending energy to "protect" us from the cheering waving people, and I don't think they'll be so closely involved in 09. There was another ride started in Montpelier this year and we coordinated ride times to start together - the had about 40 to 50 riders with no incident.

2006

The 2006 World Naked Bike Ride was Burlngton's second annual event and the most excellent so far. It was a rainy and unseasonably cold day in Burlington – 49 degrees – but still we had about 60 riders: more than double the number on the first ride in 2005. We are hoping June 2007 will be more June-like! With the amount of buzz and promotion, I think we could have filled the streets! We were the lead story on the local news both Friday night and on Saturday, ensuring the message was spread beyond the umbrellaed spectators! Photos of the ride can be seen in our Yahoo! group and also on our website (see links below).
