Contact Info

To contact local WNBR event coordination teams try the following:

  • Search for a ride by country on the main page, or look over the list of rides. Sometimes contact info is there, sometimes not.
  • Use the form on the upper right portion of the main page of the global WNBR web site. On that form, select an existing ride from the pull-down menu and then post your comments or questions to the coordination team in the comments/question area of the form. Then hit "submit".
  • Join the main or regional WNBR groups (these are all listed on the list of rides) and ask your question of the coordination team there.

Conrad Schmidt came up with the idea of WNBR in 2003. He is the principal global coordinator. He is also the Vancouver and Canada coordinator. Conrad has provided much of the initial script writing for the forms which have made it very easy for individuals to start up their own rides all over the world. Prior to WNBR, Conrad had organized the Naked Bike Rides of the group Artists for Peace/Artists Against War (AFP/AAW)[4] which took place in the early part of the same year, as well as other high-profile political/media events leading to the creation of The Work Less Party of British Columbia.
