Come along to the 10th annual world Naked Bike Ride in Nimbin.
 +
 
 +
We ride naked (or as bare as you dare) to remind vehicle drivers that cyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable on our roads. Our message is Share the Road.
  
==Ride details==
+
BRING your bike, a helmet, body paints (we will have some paints there as well)
The ride will occur on Saturday the 6th of March 2010. Assemble at 10:30am in Peace Park, Nimbin, NSW. [http://www.nimbinmardigrass.com/2006/photos2006za.html Here are some pictures of Peace Park to help you find it].  
+
 
 +
WHAT WE DO we meet at the Bush Theatre Cafe, strip off and paint each others bodies - slogans and images associated with bicycle activism; when everyone is ready we ride the main street of Nimbin with our Share the Road message.
 +
 
 +
ALSO because this is our 10th birthday, there'll be cake in there somewhere too
 +
 
 +
REFRESHMENTS - including lunch, available for sale at the cafe
 +
 
 +
PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY - The organisers of the ride hold participants' enjoyment and comfort as their priority; when people are stripping and being painted they can feel self-conscious especially if this is the first time they have done the ride
 +
 
 +
While stripping and painting please only take photos of people you have permission from to photograph; when you ask for their permission, tell them what you are going to do with the picture (obviously when we are riding the main street, there is no control over photography)
 +
 
 +
SAFETY
 +
* CHECK YOUR BIKE - that the chain works and the brakes work; every year there are one or two riders who get stranded because their bikes aren't up to scratch; don't let this be you
 +
*CHECK YOURSELF - have you been on a bike recently? Can you ride up a hill? (there is a hill between the Bush Theatre and Nimbin town)
 +

Hi folks !
 +
Its "World Naked Bike Ride" (WNBR) time again ! We ride on the second Saturday in March. Get out you bikes, check the wheels go round, the chain is present and correct, and the tires are up !
 +
 
 +
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.
  
Organisers will lead the riders to a secret place for de-briefing and body painting. The ride is clothing optional so you can choose how much or how little you want to wear.<br>
+
This will be our 9th ride, and they have all been superb. Last year, even though the day started out quite wet, a reasonable crowd turned up at Peace park (under umbrellas !!!). When we got to the paintup spot, there were more there !. An estimate was over 35 - but the real improvements were a better gender mix, and better art !
 +
The ride was excellent.
  
Some bikes will be available to borrow for the ride if you are a backpacker or out-of-town visitor but the number of bikes is limited. Bring your own bike if you are a local to guarantee you can join the ride.<br>
+
Our paint-up venue even opened for us- coffee before the ride, vegan food after - all in all an excellent time was had by all.
  
A nurse will be coming on the ride who will perform first aid if anyone suffers a mishap.<br>
+
So, dont be put of by the rain, or the distance - it is really quite short and easy - and come and be a part of it. We want no spectators - everyone should be in the ride !
  
===2010 Ride Report===
+
And seriously, as much fun as the spectators get, the real fun is in the painting and the after party - adrenaline city !
We had a good turnout at Nimbin, approx 25 people turned up to ride. We had extra spare bikes, as per last year. We thought that the weather possibly cost us about 50 riders, given the responses we had had leading up to the event. Well the weather may threaten, but in Nimbin if we took fright at that, we would never achieve anything !<br>
+
It is as bare as you dare. If you want to ride clothed, come along as you are ! Get some bling for your bike ! Bring some paints to share - if you have none others will.
 +
Bring bikes to share if you have them. So come even if you do not have a bike !
  
Even so, the ride was a great success, with our brothers and sisters from Byron assisting us, and the ride drew a bigger response in town than last year. We really enjoyed the enthusiastic response from the crowd.<br>
+
Meet at Peace Park as per usual from 10AM, and then proceed to the '(not really) secret paintup location'. Please try to be in a reasonable time span, as we have to prepare as well.
 +
We usually start the actual paint up at about 10.00, and ride at 1pm. The times are rubbery. Give yourself a lot of time, to get the best paint ! (You can ride without paint if you want as well.
  
The winner of the 'best undressed' award went to a young German woman from north of Hamburg, who had been woofing near Byron. The best performance went to the chariot. I have to admit that our 'aboriginal and his white slave' was quite provocative. But we don't want to win our own awards, so the rest of you will just have to try harder !
+
Dont miss it !

We will endeavour to protect the environment as much as we can. To further this, please consider bringing local river ochres for use as body paint if you can.

We expect to have some musicians to entertain us, and some food and drink. It will be easier if we bring our own goodies, but we will sell 'tickets' at Peace Park for sausage sandwiches for those so inclined. We could possibly also get 'notdogs' or the like as well. The food will then be bought in town and taken to the party site. Beer consortiums could also be formed at this time, and a similar methods used. A little bit of planning here can make it a much nicer day.

  • CHECK YOURSELF - have you been on a bike recently? Can you ride up a hill? (there is a hill between the Bush Theatre and Nimbin town)

We look forward to seeing you in Nimbin on 10th March for the best fun you'll probably have all year.

Previous ride details

Hi folks ! Its "World Naked Bike Ride" (WNBR) time again ! We ride on the second Saturday in March. Get out you bikes, check the wheels go round, the chain is present and correct, and the tires are up !

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.

This will be our 9th ride, and they have all been superb. Last year, even though the day started out quite wet, a reasonable crowd turned up at Peace park (under umbrellas !!!). When we got to the paintup spot, there were more there !. An estimate was over 35 - but the real improvements were a better gender mix, and better art ! The ride was excellent.

Our paint-up venue even opened for us- coffee before the ride, vegan food after - all in all an excellent time was had by all.

So, dont be put of by the rain, or the distance - it is really quite short and easy - and come and be a part of it. We want no spectators - everyone should be in the ride !

And seriously, as much fun as the spectators get, the real fun is in the painting and the after party - adrenaline city ! It is as bare as you dare. If you want to ride clothed, come along as you are ! Get some bling for your bike ! Bring some paints to share - if you have none others will. Bring bikes to share if you have them. So come even if you do not have a bike !

Meet at Peace Park as per usual from 10AM, and then proceed to the '(not really) secret paintup location'. Please try to be in a reasonable time span, as we have to prepare as well. We usually start the actual paint up at about 10.00, and ride at 1pm. The times are rubbery. Give yourself a lot of time, to get the best paint ! (You can ride without paint if you want as well.

Dont miss it !

Body painting

We will endeavour to protect the environment as much as we can. To further this, please consider bringing local river ochres for use as body paint if you can.

After ride party

There is an after ride get-together being organised for participants who have completed the ride. After the ride, we will return to the starting location to get cleaned up.

We expect to have some musicians to entertain us, and some food and drink. It will be easier if we bring our own goodies. We could possibly also get 'notdogs' or the like as well. The food will then be bought in town and taken to the party site. Beer consortiums could also be formed at this time, and a similar methods used. A little bit of planning here can make it a much nicer day.

The owners of our venue have agreed that the after-party can continue with the clothes-optional theme.

Yay !

Warnings

We are not supplying alcohol - you are. Please keep the drinking etc until after the ride for a better time for all. Cycling while under the influence of alcohol can certainly get you arrested, and your driving license may be at risk.

What to bring

  • A bike in working order. If you have a bike in need of repair or do not have a bike please visit the Bicycle Recycling Network. A limited number of bikes will be available to borrow for the ride so it is best to avoid disappointment and bring your own. You can ride a scooter or skates if you want to because any form of human powered transport is OK.
  • You MUST have a proper bike helmet.
  • Bring your friends.
  • You need to arrive clothed. Seriously, some people have not done this.
  • You need decent shoes for cycling because you may hurt your feet otherwise.
  • You need somewhere to put your clothes while you are riding. A luggage rack on your bike, or panniers or a basket that you can put your bag with your clothes. Clothing is optional on the ride and you are perfectly welcome to ride clothed or naked or somewhere in between.
  • Apply sunscreen before the event.
  • River ochres for body painting to save the environment.
  • Bring a bottle of water.
  • Bring some money for the after party or bring your own food and drink.

What not to bring

  • Alcohol or drugs. Ride in control and safe. Save your alcohol consumption for the after party.

Photography / Video Recording

The organisers have developed some guidelines around the taking of photos and video during this event. In developing these guidelines, our main consideration is the comfort and confidence of riders, as we want them to participate every year. No considerations shall be seen to be higher than this.

Preparation

During the paint up stage before the ride itself, riders like to take pictures of each other. Before you take a photo or video of someone though we ask that you:

  • check with the person (or people) that it is okay to record their image
  • show them the photo / video after you have taken it to check they are happy with it.

If you are planning to put the pictures / video on the Web or in another publication, please do the right thing and tell your subject/s your intentions.

During The Ride

Open photography of the actual ride event with rider arrayed in their final glorious painted form should, in our opinion, be the chief vehicle for public consumption.

Obviously, when we are riding around town, there is no control over what images are taken.

By respecting each others levels of comfort with exposing our bodies and having our image recorded, everyone who comes on the ride can feel safe and have a great day.

Byron Bay

Byron Bay is expected to have a ride next Sunday March 11 at 2pm 2012. Byron Bay is within commuting distance of Nimbin so keen participants are very welcome to ride in Nimbin.

Future

In July 2008 an Organiser volunteered to help make a WNBR happen in Nimbin on Saturday the 7th of March 2009. The Organiser has several associates who are helping and there is strong commitment to make the 2010 event even bigger. People interested in participating or helping organise the 2010 WNBR in Nimbin should join the discussion group, try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. It will happen if you help make it happen! Please refer to the Organizing a ride page for more information about starting or restarting a ride.
