'''Welcome to Seattle's [[Wikipedia:World Naked Bike Ride|World Naked Bike Ride]] [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] pages!'''
 
'''Welcome to Seattle's [[Wikipedia:World Naked Bike Ride|World Naked Bike Ride]] [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] pages!'''
  
"World Naked Bike Ride celebrates a future of human-powered transport and healthy, clean, green walkable cities with simple, grassroots naked bike rides all over the world. As the vessel of this revolution, we highlight the beauty, power and individuality of the naked human body with an aim of promoting body-positive values, self-awareness, simple healthy living and independence from consumerist, toxic, oil-dependent and car culture paradigms that are killing us." – ''[[User:D|Daniel Johnson]], WNBR Seattle Team''
+
Every year, in cities around the world, thousands ride bikes naked to celebrate human-powered transport and the power and individuality of the human body. WNBR demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and offers a simple, cheap, healthy + fun alternative to car culture. We hope you can join us!

==Upcoming events==
 
'''UPDATE! Visit [http://NakedCyclists.org NakedCyclists.org] for a calendar of PNW Naked Cycling events, including WNBR Seattle!'''
 
 
 
2010 marks the '''seventh year''' (since 2004) that [[wikipedia:Seattle|Seattle]] will be staging WNBR events.

This year's theme is undecided, but one suggestion is "in the interest of justice", after the City of Seattle has dropped charges against a naked cyclist event in 2010. Last year's theme was '''Abundance'''Currently, WNBR Seattle is planning three rides for Summer 2010:
 
 
 
===7 Aug 2010===
 
[[File:SeafairCyclists v02web.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Seafair Cyclists flyer.]]
 
'''Aug 7, Sat''' Presenting... '''Seafair Cyclists!'''. Use shortcut URL: [http://bit.ly/SeafairCyclists http://bit.ly/SeafairCyclists]. Annual Lake Washington bike ride from Denny Blaine Park to Seward Park, via Lake Washington Boulevard and Seafair detour. '''(NOTE: Clothing-optional Morning Run + Night Swim fundraiser events also scheduled. Info is below Bike Ride info below).'''
 
 
 
===Route map and schedule===
 
See the updated [http://bit.ly/SeafairCyclistsRoute2010 Seafair Cyclists 2010 Route Map (Use shortcut URL http://bit.ly/SeafairCyclistsRoute2010 for Google Map)]. Tentative schedule:
 
 
 
====Seafair Cyclists====
 
Denny Blaine Park : Beach (on Lake Washington). Parks Events Scheduling Office says there is a wedding at Denny Blaine Park in the afternoon, but will not disclose when. They will also not permit any other group to have a parks use permit. So we will work around that and work with the wedding group to make sure we are not in each other's way and everybody stays happy. There should not be much of any setup because we can't do that without a permit anyway. So everybody brings their own stuff for decorating.
 
*11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Seafair Social (Sun + Swim + Potluck) (Unlike June, weather should be nice and warm for this). For those not coming by bike (highly recommended), note parking may be difficult close by because of Seafair.
 
*11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. WNBR Body art (body paint + wearables) + bike art party. Hopefully by this time we will figure out where wedding will be staged and move accordingly.
 
*12:45 - 2:40 p.m. Seafair Airshow
 
*1:25 - 1:30 p.m. cyclists help cleanup for last five minutes before leaving
 
*1:30 p.m. Seafair Cyclists depart from Denny Blaine Park
 
*1:30 - 1:40 p.m. Volunteers teardown and cleanup, there should not be much of any cleanup.
 
*2:00 p.m.  Cyclists arrive at Seward Park. RIde either stops here or loops around outer trail
 
*2:15 p.m.  Cyclists take dip into Seward Park North Beach (probably empty since park was just closed) / bathroom break / Ride end or?
 
*Back to Denny Blaine or Afterparty?
 
*Ride short but sweet
 
 
 
(note: setups and events at Seward and Denny Blaine overlap so we will need two teams, alternatively I suppose we could do the BBFR on Sunday, but that would take away a valuable nice weekend day to do something else. Personally I would like to cram as much into a 1/2 of activities as we can!)
 
 
 
We'll definitely detour around the closed area. Much of Lake WA Blvd. will still be open. Fortunately Seafair biggest cluster of people is centered on Stan Sayres and not on Seward.
 
 
 
This ride should attract a good number of people just for these factors:
 
 
 
*a strong green message (see below)
 
*a short, 30 minute, length of ride
 
*few hills (except a very short one at Denny Blaine and once we leave Lk. WA Blvd)
 
*virtually no stops (except for restrooms and maybe quick dip if people want)
 
*day ride
 
*amazing views
 
*Parks with history of nude use
 
*Parks with history of WNBR stops
 
*warm weather time of year
 
*previous WNBR bike rides have been relatively quiet and our ride took place in times when there were tons of cyclists participating. It would be nice to have a larger, festive crowd and not just be preaching to the choir so-to-speak about cycling.
 
*SPD will probably be quite busy actually dealing with real problems than worrying about harassing us.
 
 
 
====Message====
 
The message of Seafair Cyclists is a variant on WNBR Seattle, but with a local twist appropriate to the context of the day's events.
 
 
 
=====Go local + less commercial=====
 
*Focus on making Seafair more local than dripping with commercial corporate messages.
 
*Indigenize the festival to Seattle's rich and diverse culture rather than letting it being dominated by loud, high octane entertainment brought in from afar with jets and hydroplanes
 
*Be more creative in creating less expensive, low carbon, grassroots ensembles
 
 
 
=====Go green=====
 
*Pushing for cleaner Lake Washington (less pesticides, toxins going downstream), quiet lake recreation, low light + noise pollution
 
*Celebrate the beauty of the Lake Washington Parks
 
*Sacred spaces and forests. Seward's Parks unique place among area parks as Old Growth remnant/ Jump start Bare Buns Fun Run event at massive Heritage Tree in Seward
 
 
 
=====Anti oil-dependent culture=====
 
*Seattle needs to wake up, go green and stop the high octane, car-centric and oil-dependent culture in its tracks. Celebrating summer with jet engines strapped to boats and jet planes is a sick waste of limited resources that disrupts the local ecological system.
 
*Stand up for the "little people" around the world who have suffered for our irresponsible, oil-dependent culture, which is on display for all too see at Seafair. Check out the 2009 film [[wikipedia:Crude|Crude (film)]] to learn more.
 
*Getting oil money out of Seattle cultural events (Union 76/ConocoPhillips is major sponsor of Seafair). [http://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/pickyourpoison/#conoco Read why ConocoPhillips is rated bottom of the barrel by the Sierra Club].
 
*Bringing attention to high fuel usage of unnecessary military-oriented air show. Gallons per mile rather than miles per gallon, HELLO?!
 
*Shift to Bicycles
 
*Shift to permaculture ascent rather than energy descent after peak oil.
 
  
=====Humanize=====
+
First time? Visit the [[Main Page|main page of the WNBR International wiki website]] which has the most info on our international event.
*Focus on humanizing Seafair more with simple, cheap events than needing to sell out to corporate sponsors. i.e. Bare Buns Run and Dip (non WNBR event)
 
*Celebrate the power, beauty, individuality/diversity of the human body and our cultural heritage
 
*Advocate that clothing-optional recreation is part of Seattle's culture
 
*Protest City of Seattle's lack of leadership and overly complicating the development of clothing-optional beaches with red tape and lame excuses.
 
*Push for walkable, bicycle friendly cities. Seattle should be #1 bike and pedestrian friendly city in the US, not #4 (as reported by Huffington Post[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/08/20-most-bike-friendly-cit_n_530186.html]). We should also be at the top of the 11 most bicycle friendly cities in the world[http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/01/worlds-11-most-bicycle-friendly-cities.php]. Currently, we are not even on the list.
 
  
====Fun Run + Night Swim====
+
==Preparation==
Clothing-optional Fun Run and Night Swim events are free but we welcome donations as a means for a fundraiser. Proceeds will be split four ways: World Naked Bike Ride Seattle, Seattle Free Beach Campaign, Fun Run/Night Swim expenses + Seward Park Environmental & Audubon Center http://sewardpark.audubon.org for more trail improvements at Seward. Donations welcome at $2 - 10 for both (non bike ride) events.
+
* [[Seattle preparation]] (actually there's a bunch of other stuff here too, needs sorting a bit).
  
Participate at your own risk in all events! (That means this could be a hoot!) Don't sue us for tripping, twisting your ankle, getting into trouble, drowning, et cetera.
+
==Seattle Archive==
=====Fun Run=====
+
In 2003, Seattle became only the second city in the world to organize a WNBR event, the first of which was launched in June of 2004.<br>
Located at [[wikipedia:Seward Park, Seattle|Seward Park]] ([http://sewardpark.audubon.org Audobon website]). Please allow plenty of time to reach Seward Park and the interior trail system. Main meetup point is at the Kiosk on Spine Trail at 7 am for Fun Run.
+
Please visit our [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Seattle_history Seattle Archive page]. Please contact [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=User:Troy_Mars Troy Mars] at [mailto:atomicbean@gmail.com AtomicBean@Gmail.com] to add any links or info to a particular ride. The Archive provides a way for people to share Facebook and google photo albums, YouTube and news article links. The more emails I get the more richer experience the Archive will be for everyone. Thanks for your help.  
*6:20 - 6:35 a.m. Setup signs on trails in park for BBFR - We need to discuss route and tour the side trails
 
BBFR will have to be a non-competitive, informal event jog + walk to avoid insurance headaches.
 
See trail map http://www.cityofseattle.net/Parks/environment/seward_park_trail_plan.pdf see also
 
http://sewardpark.audubon.org/pdfs/Seward%20Park%20Map.pdf
 
*6:35 - 6:45 a.m. - BBFR mini-breakfast
 
*6:50 - 6:55 Opening BBFR ceremony at Heritage Tree - BBFR (inside Park near start location)
 
*7:00 Main meetup time: Meet at Kiosk on Spine Trail within Seward Park.
 
*7:05 - 7:20 a.m. 2010 BBFR + Dip at North Beach @ Seward Park (inside park trails in signed area)
 
(No known Seward Park event conflicts other than Seafair 10 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. closure)
 
*7:30 - 7:45 a.m. Teardown and Leave Seward Park
 
*10 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Seward Park Closed
 
  
Settled on a great Fun Run route at Seward, after finally finding a route through the park that won't get people lost (I got lost several times over a couple hours trying to figure it out the best paths) will keep that secret only for participants. Will meetup at Kiosk on Spine Trail.

You can contact us by filling out form on the [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/countries/us/seattle/join.html WNBR Seattle Join page].
  
Talked to parks officials about how the area is for cyclists on Seafair days and also talked to locals about how heavily the park is used early in the morning when our run is scheduled (Its pretty dead). The small trails we will mostly be using are even less used (only ran into four people on a super nice day in that area so morning should be virtually nobody around). We should make official looking signs for participants and some directional, subtle signs for guiding runners (few needed).

We need your money to help make the magic happen! Please [[Seattle donations|click here]] to go to our donations page to support our event! We need money for permitting fees, rentals, materials costs, multiple web domains for our different affiliated rides + privacy registration fees. We also need money for promotion expenses (flying, printing and advertising). Our organizers would also appreciate money for software updates which are very costly (Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks; Apple Final Cut Pro, iMovie; Hype and other programs). We also have a separate legal fund account, which has not been active since 2010.

==Goals==
 
 
 
===Global mission===
 
 
 
The message of WNBR focuses on promoting cycling. Find out more about the WNBR global message see the [[about|global WNBR message section]]
 
 
 
===Local goals===
 
"Reclaim our streets, our bodies, our parks, our city, our self-reliance!"
 
 
 
Beyond the above goals, the WNBR Seattle event focuses on the following:
 
 
 
#'''Community building'''. Have fun and express our creativity while engaging and enjoying various communities in Seattle. Celebrate both the diversity and the oneness of the human experience.
 
#'''Protest oil dependency and advocate renewable energy sources'''; the joy of cycling; sustainable, car-free transportation solutions; and walkable communities. Bicycles are BEST - Better Ecologically Sustainable Transport.
 
#'''Bring attention to the local safety concerns of cyclists.''' Help people begin to see cyclists [http://rideofsilence.org] and share the road. Sharing the road does not mean cars get the lane and bikes get the gutter or car door lane! (See also [http://www.ghostcycle.org/ ghostcycle.org])
 
#'''Rejoice in the power and individuality of our bodies.''' Promote body-positive ideals and activities. Advocate the development of [http://seattlebeaches.org/ free beaches in Seattle] and encourage more family-friendly, clothing-optional use of community spaces.
 
#'''Show solidarity with other naked cycling events around the world.''' Many WNBR events will be riding on the same date.
 
#'''Generate interest in similar progressive and artistic regional events''' such as those organized by [http://cityrepair.org The City Repair Project] - Village Building Convergence, [http://www.thinksmall.org/ Car Free Seattle], [http://www.hempfest.org/ Seattle Hempfest], [[Wikipedia:Fremont Arts Council|Fremont Arts Council]], [[Wikipedia:Solstice Cyclists|Solstice Cyclists]] ([http://solsticecyclist.org/ SolsticeCyclist.org]), [http://www.seattlecriticalmass.org/ Seattle Critical Mass]/[http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Seattle_Critical_Ass Ass], [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Pride_Ride Body Pride Ride (BPR)], [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/NPRseattle Naked Pumpkin Run Seattle], Green America's [http://www.greenfestivals.org/seattle/ Green Festival Seattle], [http://www.burningman.com/ Burning Man] and Regional Burning Man events.
 
 
 
For more info, please see our [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/seattle/resources/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)]
 
 
 
==What to wear? Do not fear!==
 
 
 
:''For details, please see our [[Frequently asked questions]]''
 
 
 
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! See the above section on [[Seattle#Express_yourself!|creative expression]] and also visit our [[body art]] page.
 
 
 
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 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.

Welcome to Seattle's World Naked Bike Ride wiki pages!

Every year, in cities around the world, thousands ride bikes naked to celebrate human-powered transport and the power and individuality of the human body. WNBR demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and offers a simple, cheap, healthy + fun alternative to car culture. We hope you can join us!

First time? Visit the main page of the WNBR International wiki website which has the most info on our international event.

Preparation

Seattle Archive

In 2003, Seattle became only the second city in the world to organize a WNBR event, the first of which was launched in June of 2004.
Please visit our Seattle Archive page. Please contact Troy Mars at AtomicBean@Gmail.com to add any links or info to a particular ride. The Archive provides a way for people to share Facebook and google photo albums, YouTube and news article links. The more emails I get the more richer experience the Archive will be for everyone. Thanks for your help.

Contact form

You can contact us by filling out form on the WNBR Seattle Join page.

Wiki website

  • You are here! This is the WNBR Seattle wiki site (most detailed info about the events can be found here).

Organizers

The best way to contact organizer Daniel Johnson and the WNBR Seattle team is via telephone: (206) 452-3820 (Skype number - please call first) or (206) 369 - 2661 (mobile phone/voice mail - please only call if you need to speak with Daniel immediately)

Other, less effective, methods:

  • Fill out form on the WNBR Seattle join page (use the comment area and select a ride or rides from the drop down menu).
  • E-mail Daniel directly using his temporary, spam-reduction e-mail address: j0in+hefun@ WNBR sea++le d0+ 0rg (use only letter equivalents, for example use "t" instead of "+".)
  • Fill out form on the main WNBR page (use the comment area and select Seattle from the drop down menu).
  • Leave a message at his discussion page (which he doesn't check very often)

Flickr

We don't have a dedicated photography sharing group on Flickr yet, but its probably just a matter of time. Click here for search results for WNBR Seattle on Flickr. You can find many images in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) Naked Exuberance Group. Please also see our video and photo policy.

Donations

We need your money to help make the magic happen! Please click here to go to our donations page to support our event! We need money for permitting fees, rentals, materials costs, multiple web domains for our different affiliated rides + privacy registration fees. We also need money for promotion expenses (flying, printing and advertising). Our organizers would also appreciate money for software updates which are very costly (Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks; Apple Final Cut Pro, iMovie; Hype and other programs). We also have a separate legal fund account, which has not been active since 2010.
