The WNBR Basics

Schedule

11:00 AM: Gather. Rincon Park, Folsom & Embarcadero Blvd., by the Cupids Arrow. Remain dressed until instructed to disrobe for the ride. Ride begins promptly at noon.

If you need to rent a bike, there are quite a few options at and around the nearby Ferry Building.

Route

The routes vary and will typically include our favorite parts of the city such as the Embarcadero, Mission Bay, the Civic Center, the Haight, the Panhandle, and the Castro. A route plan will be published here and on our other social media pages.

When riding to the Haight or the Panhandle, we usually follow The Wiggle, which minimizes the grade of the inclines.

When riding to Market from the Haight, we usually ride a few blocks downhill on Haight St, with a maximum downhill grade of 5%.

Ride Pace and Difficulty

Just try to stay on the right shoulder in designated bike lanes or in the right lane. With enough riders, we will take up the right lane the whole way. Cars will be passing us. Most cars go slow, as drivers and passengers like getting pictures, but there can always be that impatient jerk that speeds by. Do not throw things at cars. Those that do will be told to leave and not return. Sometimes, we are on sidewalks. Always annunciate your approach "rider on your left" and use your bell if equipped. Our policy is "no riders left behind" Please do not take point and do a "Lance Armstrong" imitation. This is a protest ride, not an Olympic sprint. If you are falling behind, yell to the riders in front to hold up. We usually have a sweep rider who can notify our group to hold up for a mechanical failure or other unforeseen issue.

Weather

Out of the past twenty years, it has been seasonably mild in the 60s. A couple of times it was in the upper 70s and once in the mid 80s. As is typical for San Francisco, dress in layers, at least have a light windbreaker ready, maybe one of those transparent rain covers.

Getting there

You can ride your bike to the start from anywhere in the city. Out of town, you can ride from BART or CALTRAIN or put your bike on the front of Muni buses. If you drive, I suggest parking near the finish line somewhere in the Castro. Check for meters and time limits. There is parking enforcement on Saturdays

Bikes

Your bike is in good shape if you ride frequently, but if your last ride was a WNBR, check your tires, brakes and shifters. Do your maintenance and tuning before the ride, not during it.

Alternative Participation

Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. See the FAQ for more info.

Skates

Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated route. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, The Crookedest Street in the World, to everyone's amazement.

Public Nudity in San Francisco

The Park Police & Park Rangers have jurisdiction at the parks. SFPD has responsibility for the rest of the city and parks. We have First Amendment protection, but always be prepared to cover if asked. In general, we are protected by the First Amendment. The SFPD have been mostly friendly and have offered to escort us if the ride numbers get larger. We wish to stay on their good side, so if asked to dress, don't challenge them. Please, PLEASE don't attempt to speak for the group and antagonize the authorities. Don't assume public observing us nearby want you to mingle close to their space either. If they approach us for pictures, fine. There are still a number of the public not comfortable with public nudity, so don't impose yourself on them.

-|-
-|It's that time to tune up those bikes and toss those riding duds in the wash, you won't need them for the ''World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR)''. We are doing a special '''''WNBR Earth Day/BP Oil Spill Protest Revival''''' on the first anniversary of the British Petroleum Deep Horizon explosion and Macondo Well oil spill disaster, the worst oil spill in history, on April 20th.
-[[Image:NRDC_BP_oil_spill.jpg‎|right|256px|link=http://www.youtube.com/user/NRDCflix#p/c/99D80C24103F7940 BP Oil Spill Image]]

-This disaster of epic proportions has all but fallen off the media map and the public's radar. Oh sure, in the mainstream this will probably receive small mention and token memorials to all that dead sea life and birds as well as the environmental devastation on the major broadcast and cable outlets, but hardly leading stories. They are all about the recent Japan quake & tsunami. Sure, that is important and sad, but BP should not be left off the hook just because some media cartel decides what the front page news is. That said, its time to remind the public about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. What better way to refresh their memory than with a naked protest ride.

-Our San Francisco contingent will '''meet at the east side of the Vaillancourt fountain in Justin Herman Plaza at 4:00 PM.''' We are planning a 5 PM departure from the Plaza so that the ride will take place in the part of the day when locals who work daytime can have a better opportunity to join in and also that our ride can take advantage of the commute traffic, just as Critical Mass does. March is generally the onset of spring like warmth and it is now daylight savings, so it should be a nice day for a WNBR. But we ride rain or shine so no excuses not to be there and bare it out.
+==The WNBR Route Map - Saturday 20 April 2024==
-You decide how much bare you can dare, you can go all out in the joy of sun clad nakedness, go topless, bikinis, body paint or latex, leotard or lingerie, or tuxedos, whatever you feel like. For this ride, however, since an oil spill is the target of our angst, an appropriate statement can be made to mimic spilled oil. Nude riders can use black body paint splattered or coated. Those a little timid about nudity can use black trash bags that resemble spilled oil. Or you can be even more creative and artistic with black latex body paint to achieve a sheen and gloss that really looks like spilled oil.

-Skates or skateboards have ridden along with us in the past. How about a nude unicyclist? And music maestro please. How about some of you musical bikes from Rock The Bike sounding off with us?

+<br style="clear:both" />
-As always, our ride is in continued protest of an unsustainable energy policy in all nations around the globe. We support the innovation of alternate and improved energy technologies, the social commitment to a more sustainable energy consumption and generally the pure fun and joy of riding naked to draw attention to these issues. However, this time the main protest is about the BP oil spill and since this is Earth Day, special reverence for our ecosystem and respect for Mother Earth.
+When riding to the Haight and the Panhandle, we will follow [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wiggle The Wiggle, which minimizes the grade of the inclines].
-Our ride will focus on downtown SOMA areas, Embarcadero, AT&T Park and most flat areas along the financial area downtown.
+When riding back to Market from the Haight, we will ride a few blocks downhill on Haight St, with a maximum downhill grade of 5%.
-So set this date on your calendars and get your friends and fellow bike riders to join us. Ride as bare as you dare (nudity desired but not required). Tell us if you are attending via the following link:

-Just a short report on the March 12th ride. We had a sizable turnout, compared to last March, of 50 or more riders with a nice mix of genders and ages. It was a nice mellow group. Most of the riders went naked including several women despite the cold coastal breezes at times. When riding further from the coastline the weather was actually quite pleasant. This year we road traffic-heavy Van Ness Street, the main route to the Golden Gate Bridge. We received loads of smiles, laughs, thumbs ups, honks and cheers even when the group took up one entire lane of traffic. Most passengers in passing cars had their iPhones out taking pictures. The new route up and over Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world, was much better than last June. Most riders were able to ride to the top without walking. All-and-all a very successful ride.

 ===Weather===
-Last year in June the weather was perfect. Lots of sun and temperatures into the 80's. However, coastal fog does roll in on a regular basis in June and that can drop the temperatures into the 60's. Check the local weather at the following sites:
+Out of the past twenty years, it has been seasonably mild in the 60s. A couple of times it was in the upper 70s and once in the mid 80s. As is typical for San Francisco, dress in layers, at least have a light windbreaker ready, maybe one of those transparent rain covers.

 ===Getting there===
-If you live out of town, please try to use public transportion to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. Check out these websites for details:

-===Route===
+===Bikes===
-The route for the June ride is still being planned. The SF Police let us ride fully nude anywhere we want except within city and federal parks. We generally tour the more picturesque and populous areas of San Francisco which usually, but not always includes: The Ferry Building, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Aquatic Park, The Marina, The Palace of Fine Arts, Union Square and the Civic Center.  A significant portion of our regular WNBR riders live in the Castro District so that has become a popular stop, as well.

-===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
-The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops so we can show off our decorated naked bodies and bikes, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected.  If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

-Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.

 ===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
-Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.
-Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~1.7Mbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)
+The Park Police & Park Rangers have jurisdiction at the parks. SFPD has responsibility for the rest of the city and parks. We have First Amendment protection, but always be prepared to cover if asked. In general, we are protected by the First Amendment. The SFPD have been mostly friendly and have offered to escort us if the ride numbers get larger. We wish to stay on their good side, so if asked to dress, don't challenge them.

-Our fearless ride coordinator did have a [http://www.SFBikeRide.org/Resources/2004_St_John_Velasquez_Harassment run-in] with one somewhat misinformed SF police officer in the early days of the SF WNBR. Since then the police have been better informed and even helpful in escorting naked riders through crowded intersections and in guiding the group to certain destinations when necessary.
