- Time: 1:30pm
- Assembly location: The Rails Hotel at the old Railway Station, Byron Bay
The aim of the ride is to draw attention to the over use of non renewal able energies. and over consumption.
To promote other forms of transport. more bicycle use.
People may like to promote their own issues, e.g Anti Coal seam Gas.
We ride naked to demonstrate the cycle riders vulnerability on the roads.
This is a bare as you dare event. some may not feel comfortable being completely naked.
The ride is also about having fun.
In order to promote a good turnout, participants must feel comfortable. especially women.
Any one being disrespectful will not be welcome and be asked to leave.
Foot note: My partner is a talented face and body painter, she will be happy to give tips on painting.
We also recommend using correct body paint. "Derivan" available at most art shops.
Some paint will be made available, but we ask that participants bring their own.
