Green Greetings from Earth Friend Gen! We're bringing the Naked Truth to Ojai by celebrating the World Naked Bike Ride on the 4th of July! It's as 'bare as you dare", but since we're in Ventura County, we'll be providing stickers and a body painting booth to creatively cover our strategic spots (the local law recognizes covering our nipples and genitals as legal). This is a nonsexual family-friendly event and the amount of clothing you where is up to you. Where a robe like Jesus or Lady Liberty if you like! The intention of this event is to liberate and heal our inner child and return to naked original innocence and living in harmony with nature. So, let's celebrate the Real American Dream: Freedom, Diversity, and Sustainability. Everyone is invited, but please keep in mind that this is a family-friendly event. Please be aware that nudity is natural but the wolves in sheep's clothing relate to nudity in a perverse way. So, please be careful with whom you share your Naked Truth--bringing something to wear for after the ride is recommended--be as creative and earth-friendly as possible--sew flowers to your bikini tops (to wear afterward) and wear grass skirts, etc.  (I'll be wearing flower power pasties and a skirt made out of thin branches and leaves, then I'll change into an organic dress after the ride to represent conscious clothing and practical solutions.) We'll be meeting at 10 a.m. at the Rotary Community Park in Ojai (at the Y intersection). This ride is focused on celebration, not protest. So, let's focus on the positive! This is the perfect time to liberate yourselves with your friends and family! We're having a bicycle decorating party the night before and suggest you get together with your friends and family and do the same (please read the information and suggestions listed on the WNBR main site).  The more the merrier!  Genuinely, Earth Friend Gen

Unfortunately, the ride in Ojai (O'Hype) went very wrong. Nazi land central!!! A man pulled a knife on our group, focusing on the men, threatening to "cut their fu%&ing nuts off!" He was handcuffed, witnesses were there at the scene, and the cops let him go. Then, I in-line skated down the road along with other cyclists and pedestrians AFTER the parade was over, and the cops singled me out and gave me a ticket for "illegally entering a parade route". LAME! I did not think Ojai was that corrupt. At least my ticket was dropped. Then, the local paper has a thumbs up/down section and they printed "thumbs up" to the man who stopped the naked people from polluting our town. (We do have a lot of supporters too--not everyone in Ojai is a hypocritical, violence promoting sicko.) What happened was a HATE CRIME. But naked people are the most discriminated against group out there and we are not recognized as a minority group. *I think we need to be officially recognized as a minority group. Witnesses finally came forward again and the man was arrested, but the D.A. dropped the case. DISGUSTING. There is a lot of support in Ojai, but there are too many crazy neo nazis here. Thank goodness no one got hurt. I still ride around nearly naked whenever I want--but I'm a force to be reckoned with--and there are too many homophobes for men to do what I do--it's just not accepted here. We are going to write about the incident and let the world know how corrupt the system/Ojai/Ventura County's D.A. are. We live in a very sick and twisted society. Where children watch violent cartoons where the characters beat each other up and kill each other over and over and over again. Where children play violent video games. But naturally naked people?! Oh no!!! What is the world coming to?! It is insane that people (sheeple) are so brain washed that they lack simple reasoning capability. This man-made world we live in promotes and glorifies violence, morbidity, torture, war, and death while condemning the natural naked body. --Even pornography is less harmful than violence--Insane puritanism-Good lord!

History

Pre-ride message:

Green Greetings from Earth Friend Gen! We're bringing the World Naked Bike Ride to Ojai on the 4th of July! This is a legal and family-friendly event, so we'll be providing creative solutions for covering our strategic zones (smiley-face stickers). Please be as creative and earth-friendly as possible – get Indigenous and Tribal – make something out of flowers and leaves sewed onto a bikini/speedo/boxers – wear healing clay or a loin cloth, etc. We'll be meeting at 10 a.m. at the Rotary Community Park in Ojai (at the Y intersection of West Ojai Ave. and HWY 33). Please be aware of holiday traffic and do your best to be early or on time. The plan is to get ready while the 4th of July parade proceeds through town. Then, once the public may enter the street (around 11 a.m.), we'll all joyously ride through downtown in celebration of the True American Dream: Freedom, Diversity, and Sustainability. We're having a bicycle decorating party the night before and suggest that y'all do the same (please read the information and suggestions listed on the WNBR main site). Also, there's a big after-party! This is the perfect time to liberate yourselves with your friends and family! The more the merrier! * AmmaGen@yahoo.com
