| |
| − | There are three ways to contact organizer [[User:D|Daniel Johnson]] and the WNBR Seattle team:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Leave a message at his [[User talk:D|discussion page]]
| |
| − | *E-mail him directly using his temporary, spam-reduction e-mail address: '''sruwteesen@kriocoucke.mailexpire.com'''
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==What to bring==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Survival basics===
| |
| − | *'''Water''' for the ride (we don't want you to die). First leg of ride is about 15-30 mins (Some riders may just want to go on the short ride from Gas Works to the International Fountain). The full ride is expected to ride about 3.5-4.5 hrs or so including at least two moderate hills (which may be a challenge for some riders).
| |
| − | *'''Sunscreen''' (several people reported burns last year, facial/waterproof sunscreen is recommended if you want some on the face without being blinded by it dripping into your eyes). Put on the sunscreen FIRST then allow it to dry a bit before putting on sunscreen. Be sure to reapply it when necessary.
| |
| − | *A ''''"minimum"''' to wear if necessary (please bring it with you on the ride). We also are recommending a t-shirt (possibly with long sleeves), if you are concerned about burning. Remember t-shirts do not completely protect you from UV rays. If you want more protection try [http://www.sunprecautions.com Sun Precautions] (there is a store in the Madison area).
| |
| − | *Any '''snack''' you may want for the ride.
| |
| − | *Your '''mobile phone''', if you have one.
| |
| − | *A '''Seattle Bicycling Guide Map''' [http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/transportation/bikemaps.htm] and/or a '''basic understanding of how to get to your post-ride destination''', wherever you may end up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Wheels===
| |
| − | *Your '''human-powered mutant cycle/skating vehicle''' (be sure to check it and ride it to make sure it is safe and problem-free before the ride). Be prepared to deal with a flat tire. Ride will probably not stop to help fix your bike (another reason to bring a "minimum" with you to cover up). You never know if your bicycle will fail and we can't throw you and your bike on our backs and bring you with us. Leave plenty of time to schedule your bike to get looked at by a fully qualified mechanic. Check your tire pressure they day before and morning of the event.
| |
| − | *A '''bike lock''' will come in handy, you might want to have a lockup buddy to lock your bike up to if there is no rack available at any given stop.
| |
| − | *Your '''helmet'''. Bike helmets now required in Seattle. Fine can be as high as $30. [http://www.metrokc.gov/health/news/03071801.htm More info] and [http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/transportation/bikehelmet.htm].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Good karma===
| |
| − | *'''$5 - $50+ "love donation"''' to help pay for our permits, promotional expenses and sound system rental equipment. Help prevent the event coordinators and artists from going broke! They need your help! If you have money and feel strongly about this event and want to see it continue, please donate $$$. Those of you who did not have a chance to make a donation today can make one through Body Freedom Collaborative's donation page at: [http://tinyurl.com/b6dsa http://tinyurl.com/b6dsa]. Thanks for helping! Every little bit helps! (The Work Less Party USA and The Organic Living Party do not yet have a bank account, and BFC has offered to help out).
| |
| − | *'''Invite others!''' Your significant other, friends, neighbors, co-workers, rabbi, and your entire family to help paint you (Our bodypainters will not be able to get everybody, find a buddy at the ride to help paint you if you need help).
| |
| − | *'''Your creativity, a non-antagonistic, fun-loving attitude and common sense''' when it comes to '''respecting peoples' personal space''' and '''ride safety'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Express yourself!===
| |
| − | While some will simply just like to remain clothed or simply naked, '''we highly recommend participants and artists to be creative and colorful! Bodypainting and bike decorating is highly encouraged!'''
| |
| − | :''Note: Put on your '''sunscreen''' and let it dry before painting, if possible.''
| |
| − | *Non-toxic '''bodypaint''' (we use non toxic textile screen printing ink diluted with water).
| |
| − | *Inexpensive '''foam brushes''' are favorites for applying the paint in broad strokes.
| |
| − | *'''Painting and mixing containers.''' Reuse your yogurt tubs and plastic containers to mix paints and clean your brush.
| |
| − | *'''$$$''' Some artists will want some money to paint you. Paint and supplies cost money. Labor and time are also well worth your dollars. This is another good reason to bring a friend.
| |
| − | *'''Compliments and smiles''' for your artist!
| |
| − | *Optional supplies:
| |
| − | **'''Sealer spray''' if you want it to stay on after being in the water. Display and Costume sells this.
| |
| − | **'''Moist wipes or paper towels''' to wipe or wash off your hands.
| |
| − | **'''Drop cloth, carpet square, chunk of cardboard or an old towel to stand on while being painted.''' (others may bring some too).
| |
| − | **A '''bucket, box, artist supply box, or backpack''' to carry your supplies.
| |
| − | **'''Reference drawings/sketches, photos''', and '''color tests''' to previsualize your ideas.
| |
| − | **'''Hairdryer''' to help the paint dry (if there is a place to plug in).
| |
| − | **'''Stencils'''
| |
| − | **Hot/cold '''beverages and snacks'''.

| − | ==History==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Seattle was the second city to organize a WNBR event, after Vancouver BC, and the first [[United States]] city to organize a ride. [[Daniel Johnson]] met with [[Conrad Schmidt]] after both participated in an [http://www.artistsagainstwar.ca/ Artists Against War]/[http://www.artistsforpeace.ca/ Artists for Peace]/[http://www.worklessparty.org/ Work Less Party] (AAW/AFP/WLP) Go As Bare as You Dare ride (which Conrad organized) in [[Vancouver]], BC. Conrad expressed interest in creating an international naked cycling event modeled after the rides in [[Vancouver]] and Daniel committed to having one in Seattle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The idea to start off the ride in the Fremont and Wallingford districts of Seattle was because these neighborhoods have been supportive of painted/naked cycling in the past. This is due to the continuing success and growing creativity of the [[wikipedia:Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade|Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade]] who have been a highlight of the Summer Solstice Parade held annually in [[Wikipedia:Fremont|Fremont]]. The Painted Cyclists participate in the artistic spirit and non-political atmosphere of the Summer Solstice Parade in Fremont, held on the Saturday closest to the Summer Solstice (exactly one week after WNBR). The painted cyclists are world famous — no one has outdone them in terms of the numbers of uniquely-made full-body bodypainting and kustom bike jobs!
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Wikipedia:Gas Works Park|Gas Works Park]] has traditionally been the end of the parade route and the end of the naked cycling, yet its easy access to The Burke-Gilman Trail beckons riders to continue on to explore other parts of the greater Seattle area. In addition to the Painted Cyclists, WNBR Seattle was also inspired by the the AAW/AFP/WLP Rides in [[Vancouver]] BC and [http://www.ciclonudista.net/ Manifestación Ciclonudista] in [[Spain]], which predate WNBR.
| |
| − | | |
| − | With regard to the WNBR Seattle route, Daniel felt that leaving the area via the Fremont Bridge would provide a feeling that the cyclists would cover new ground, outside the established safe-haven of primarily artistic freedoms, into those that also integrate more political and social concerns. In 2004 he stated that "our aspirations are symbolized by our push to reach the International Fountain at the Seattle Center, giving the event an international scope and highlighting the global appeal and need for our message". Having reached that goal, Daniel is encouraging others to reinvent the ride every year, to keep the event fresh and interesting for riders and spectators alike.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 2003, Conrad and Daniel chose the June 12th, 2004 for WNBR to coincide with other ride events, which predate WNBR; and to take advantage of the nice weather around the Summer Solstice. There was an attempt to combine both painted naked rides in Seattle at the time, however, many of the Solstice Cyclists preferred that their event appear to be more spontaneous and without an overt message, respecting the parade's festive, non-political context. Up until early 2006, the name and e-mailing list of the painted cyclists group was kept somewhat secret to avoid unwanted hassles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Those participating in WNBR, operate in a distinctly different context and respect the request that the two events stay separate. While both groups strive to have a fun time, those involved with WNBR are also biking in solidarity with others in cities across the globe who wish to engage the public with a message. Up until 2006 they were the only painted/naked ride to openly publicize their events so that a larger number of people have the opportunity to participate. This changed in 2006 when Body Pride Ride launched highly visible naked promo rides during Seattle Critical Mass in March and April 2006, and when the Solsice Cyclists launched their public web site.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 2005 there were four naked bike rides in Seattle. Three of those occurred in three consecutive saturdays in June alone! The other two Seattle naked cycling events included the painted naked cyclists of the Fremont Solstice Parade (18 June, featuring about 160 riders!), and the premiere of the First Annual Body Pride Ride (BPR, read "beeper"), at the Seattle Pride March on 26 June (see [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beeper/ Beeper] Yahoo! group). So, with WNBR, that was three separate naked rides in three weeks! In addition to ongoing monthly [http://scrimass.org Critical Mass] rides, 2005 marked the First Annual [http://IndependenceFromOil.org Independence From Oil Day] Parade (3 July) and the emergence of the [http://ghostcycle.org Ghostcycle] project, raising awareness of cyclists on the streets with evocative installations around the city.

| − | For more info, please see our [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/seattle/resources/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==What to wear? Do not fear!==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The World Naked Bike Ride dress code is "Bare As You Dare"... How bare is that ? How dare is that ?...Its all up to you, you decide what you are comfortable with. NO ONE IS EXCLUDED OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST based on levels of clothing, bodypaint, or anything else, for that matter!
| |
| − | | |
| − | PLEASE be creative and colorful! Bodypainting and bike decorating is highly encouraged!
| |
| − | | |
| − | The laws on nudity, for the most part are a bit vague, difficult and often unpopular to enforce. The principal concern of most citizens is to eliminate creepy, predatory, exploitative, destructive and abusive behavior. WNBR is a fun, inspirational, non-confrontational body-positive event with a positive message of hope. That is why the ride has been such a huge hit and so many are supportive. Just use common sense and mind your manners! Nude is not lewd!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since most of us did not grow up in a body-positive society, many will look at you with curiosity and amusement. You will probably notice that different sections of town have different cultural reactions to nudity. Some may feel mildly intimidated because they still might have issues with their own bodies and your shameless ways are unsettling to their body-phobic world. Just be friendly and respectful and things should be fine. Remember we are all human and we all have the same parts.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::"Gymnophobia (from the Greek word for nude gymnos) is the fear of being (or seeing others) naked. A gymnophobic person usually wants to prevent others from experiencing the freedom of not wearing clothes."
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are concerned, you probably don't not need to cover up much to be "legal". With the incredible transforming powers of a little body paint, liquid latex, a strategically placed sock, or a piece of duct tape you too can transform the average city streaking naked wild cyclist into "The legal city streaking naked wild cyclist". Be creative a little imagination can change everything.

| − | ==How to avoid trouble==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Have fun, be enthustiastic, be safe, and WNBR's message will speak for itself. Here are some guidelines for people who need clarfication on expectations of behavior and safety during the event:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''Don't be an idiot. Use common sense.''' Remember all those lessons that you picked up in grade school about appropriate social conduct.
| |
| − | *'''Follow the [http://www.jcu.edu/philosophy/gensler/goldrule.htm golden rule].''' Treat others as you want to be treated.
| |
| − | *'''[http://bicyclesafe.com Bicycle safely] and be polite and exercise caution around any people.''' Do not bicycle near anybody laying on the beach. Be vocal and polite when passing. '''Always keep a respectable and responsible distance from people for safety and for personal comfort levels.'''
| |
| − | *'''Do not be "obscene".''' Nude is not lewd - mind your manners! Humans are sexual beings, but being naked is not an indication or an invitation for overt sexual behavior.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Respect peoples' bodies and their personal space. Sexual harassment, creepy or predatory behavior or abusive language will not be tolerated and we will either ask you to leave or we will summon the police.
| + | [http://nakedwiki.org NakedWiki.org] [http://nakedwiki.org/index.php?title=Seattle Seattle WNBR ride page] |
| | | | |
| − | While there is nothing in the [http://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/toc/table.htm Seattle Municipal Code] about nudity and expectations of behavior, [http://access.wa.gov Washington State] does have a law protecting against "obscene" behavior while being fully or partially naked. This law is intended to protect citizens against unwanted lewd behavior. [http://www.leg.wa.gov/RCW/index.cfm?section=9A.88.010&fuseaction=section RCW 9A.88.010] on Indecent exposure states "(1) A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm. The act of breastfeeding or expressing breast milk is not indecent exposure.
