Calling it a [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Main_Page World Naked Bike Ride] is a bit misleading if you've never heard of one before.

From the two World Naked Bike Rides I've been in(stark naked) the police made sure we were safe on the ride, and escorted us to help stop traffic. Some officers took videos on their personal cameras like spectators. This doesn't mean we won't face resistance from officers for starting one.

WNBR Lexington Emblem

Calling it a World Naked Bike Ride is a bit misleading if you've never heard of one before. You can fully participate in this yearly 'Bare As You Dare' protest against oil dependency with whatever you're wearing right now to fanciful costumes.

This event happens in different cities separate, but together from one another all over the world while carrying the same message against oil dependency. The rides are usually about 10 to 20 miles or so depending on the host city and planned route.

You don't really even need a bicycle to participate. All you need is some form of non-motorized transportation. The ride is going to go slow enough(5 to 10 MPH) for unicycles and skaters to keep up, but would go too fast for people to try it on foot.

If you have body paint, food or anything else you'd like to Donate at the ride meet up will be greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions like: How is this legal?, or Isn't riding a bike naked painful?, and Is this a ride around the world? can be answered in the FAQs on the left hand side. Please feel free to Contact Us, and I'll answer your questions the best I can.

Police and The Law

  • If at any time any officers asks you to put on more cloths, or gives you instructions thank them, and do as they say.

As The Kentucky Law is written today nudity in protest is seen no differently then that of a common football game streaker. There is nothing illegal thou about riding bikes in a group. Cars do it all the time so long as we don't block up traffic for an unnecessary length of time.

"A person is guilty of indecent exposure in the (first or second) degree when (he/she) intentionally exposes their genitals under circumstances in which they know, or should know that their conduct is likely to cause affront or alarm (in the first or second degree pending age of witness.)"

  • The definition of 'genitals' refers primarily to just the visible parts of the penis and vagina(butts and boobs not included.)
  • A couple of us were charged with indecent exposure on our second year ride. Full nudity might have to be discouraged since it's more important to just have fun. On the ride a well placed sock is all that's needed for males, and a naked after party is always planned without fear of being charged with anything.
