Pre-Ride Details

We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians plus all the negative effects of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy.

WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE, MELBOURNE 2009
This is a secret ride.....
Details of the assembly location and time will be communicated to the participants by the organisers at some time in some way in the future.

Once everyone has arrived at the assembly place we will ride to a undisclosed location to de-brief and paint slogans and decorate our bikes and bodies in preparation for the start.

This time...we are prepared and are supported by a police liaison lawyer......protecting our rights...Everyone will have the chance to go naked!

Protest in blissful naked totally non threatening peaceful vulnerability. Inspire others to get out their bikes and join in the fun and delight of no emissions and naked freedom.

The WNBR message addresses the world wide issue of sustainable transport and advocates more environmentally friendly cycling and less polluting cars and trucks.

The WNBR is an annual clothing-optional protest ride for naturism, environmentalism, peace and the rights of cyclists to use the road safely.

Legality

The laws that are relevant to public nudity in Victoria are applicable througout the state. For discussion of this topic, please refer to the separate page about Victoria Laws.

Volunteers Needed

Alex, the WNBR Melbourne Organiser in 2006 and 2007 went overseas and will not be available for the future WNBR Melbourne rides. Heidi Hill has volunteered as the organiser and helped make the March 2008 ride the biggest to date in Australia. Heidi would appreciate any help you can give. Can you volunteer to help organise in 2009? The work will be shared around a team of volunteers so please do not think you will get heaps of work loaded onto you. It is easy and fun. Please join the WNBR Melbourne Yahoo! Group or the WNBR Melbourne Facebook Group and put your name forward.
