| − | <div style="align: center; padding: .4em; border: solid 0px black; background-color: #FFF000;">This year's suggested theme is '''"Harnessing the power of the human body and spirit"'''.</div>
| + | 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! |

| − | ===2007 date scheduling=== | + | ==Basics== |
| − | [[Seattle]] has some conflicts that it needs to consider for scheduling. | + | [[image:WNBRseattleWiki rainbow1.jpg|175px|thumb|right|Use this [[wikipedia:QR Code|QR code]] to send people to this wiki page.]] |

| | | | |
| − | ====Too many naked bike rides too close together!==== | + | ===Wiki website=== |
| − | This ride must not conflict with the [http://solsticecyclists.org Solstice Cyclists] on the Saturday closest to Summer Solstice in June or [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beeper/ Body Pride Ride] which is the week after that. In 2005 and 2006, there were three naked bike rides in three weeks! Way too many, especially for the organizers and artists who are staging the event. | + | *You are here! This is the WNBR Seattle wiki site (most detailed info about the events can be found here). |
| | | | |
| − | [http://hempride.org Hemp Ride] is not a concern since it will always be scheduled around WNBR and will take place in August. | + | ===YouTube=== |
| | + | *[http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=WNBR+seattle Search YouTube for WNBR Seattle videos]. There are many created by riders as well as spectators. |
| | | | |
| − | ====Other conflicts==== | + | ===Organizers=== |
| − | We also want to avoid conflict with any regional Burning Man events such as Critical Massive and Burn in the Forest (mid July) or the Seattle to Portland Ride (if possible). We also really enjoyed the Group Health Bicycle Saturday and Sundays event, which is only on select weekends. Also, if we schedule too late in the summer, it is harder for us to get access to the International Fountain at the Seattle Center. It would also be good not to conflict with Bare Buns Fun Runs. Lifeguards are not even dispatched to Seattle public beaches until late June.
| + | The best way to '''contact''' organizer <s>[[User:D|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)</s> |
| | | | |
| − | Seattle is currently working on getting '''Sat, 7 July 2007''', as it is two weeks after BPR (much needed breathing room) and it falls on a Group Health Bicycle Saturday and Sundays day. Some in the bodypainting team want it even later in July or August while others want to keep in line with the dates of other global WNBR events.

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. |

| − | ==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 bodypaint. 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 $$$. This can be done on the day of the event or online through [[wikipedia:Body Freedom Collaborative|Body Freedom Collaborative (BFC)]]'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!===
| |
| − | [[Image:HN1X6581 A.jpg|250px|thumb|right|One of a few body painting privacy areas set up for the [[Seattle]] WNBR 2005 event.]] | |
| − | | |
| − | ''See [[Body art]] and [[Art bike]] pages for more details.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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!''' We will provide some areas for privacy from park visitors while bodypainting. We also have a restrictive photo policy.
| |
| − | :''Note: Put on your '''sunscreen''' and let it dry before painting, if possible.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''Face paints'''. These paints are typically different than body paints. See [http://www.facepaintingdesigns.co.uk Face Painting Designs, Ideas, Face Paints and Pictures]
| |
| − | *Non-toxic '''bodypaint''' There are a number of choices: textile acrylics, theatrical body paint, temporary tattoo paint, henna. Whatever you use check each color for the ASTM non-toxic label. Temporary tattoo paint is more expensive, but if applied to clean, oil free skin (that means no sunscreen) it will stay put and look good longer than textile acrylics which are prone to flaking.
| |
| − | **Non toxic '''textile screen printing ink''' diluted with water is fairly cheap and popular with the Solstice Cyclists. [http://speedballart.com Speedball] makes this.
| |
| − | **'''CREATEX Airbrush Colors'''. Great info at [http://seanet.com/Users/bradford/Body_Painting_Technique.html Body Painting Tips and Techniques]. You can buy them online from [http://www.misterart.com MisterArt.com] [http://www.misterart.com/store/view/001/group_id/1492/Createx-Airbrush-Colors.htm MisterArt.com direct link to CREATEX Airbrush Colors page (includes color samples) at MiserArt.com]
| |
| − | *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. No glass!
| |
| − | *'''$$$''' 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. [http://bennyemakeup.com Ben Nye] makes this. Display and Costume sells this.
| |
| − | **'''Moist wipes, old rags or paper towels''' to wipe or wash off your hands.
| |
| − | **'''Long mirrors''', people like to see the progression of their paint job without having to walk to a bathroom or somewhere else to find a mirror. Tape edges thoroughly for safety. No broken glass!
| |
| − | **'''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.
| |
| − | **'''Airbrush''' setup to put on a lot of paint quickly and evenly and to blend colors nicely.
| |
| − | **'''Hairdryer''' to help the paint dry (if there is a place to plug in).
| |
| − | **'''Stencils'''
| |
| − | **Hot/cold '''beverages and snacks'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Where to get stuff locally====
| |
| − | Here are some good places in Seattle to get art supplies for WNBR:

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Goals==
| |
| − | | |
| − | (1) '''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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (2) '''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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (3) '''Bring attention to the local safety concerns of cyclists.''' There are several extremely dangerous areas in Seattle that are potentially lethal for cyclists [http://www.thestranger.com/2005-04-28/feature.html] and cars alike. These areas need to be renovated NOW and must be addressed in the upcoming Bicycle Master Plan [http://www.cityofseattle.net/transportation/bikeprogram.htm]!
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Southwest end of the Ballard Bridge.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Imbedded railroad tracks running in the street at 45th Street NW near the north site of the Ballard Bridge, near the east end of the Burke-Gilman Trail behind the Giant Ballard Fred Meyer.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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])
| |
| − | | |
| − | (4) '''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.'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | (5) '''Show solidarity with other naked cycling events around the world.''' Many WNBR events will be riding on June 10th in 2006.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (6) '''Generate interest in similar progressive and artistic regional events''' such as those organized by [http://www.thinksmall.org Car Free Seattle], [http://www.hempfest.org Seattle Hempfest], [[Wikipedia:Fremont Arts Council|Fremont Arts Council]], [[Wikipedia:Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade|painted naked Cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade]] ([http://solsticecyclist.org SolsticeCyclist.org - official site]), [http://www.seattlecriticalmass.org Seattle Critical Mass], [http://riseup.net/artofresistance/ The Art of Resistance], [http://www.burningman.com The Burning Man Project] and Regional Burning Man events.

| − | 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!==
| |
| − | | |
| − | :''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.

| − | ==Eco and Cruelty-free compliance==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many festivals are going green and cruelty free [http://greenfestivals.org], [http://www.harmonyfestival.com/greening.shtml], [http://www.green-mary.com]. WNBR Seattle is produced by [http://organicparty.org The Organic Living Party/Work Less Party USA] and strives to join the ranks of others as an eco- and animal -friendly event:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Many of our foods offered are [[wikipedia:vegan|vegan]] and have [[wikipedia:organic|organic]], non-[[Wikipedia:Genetically modified organism|GMO]] ingredients
| |
| − | *Our bodypainting tents are made out of Tam Vong and Tonkin [[wikipedia:bamboo|bamboo]], strung together with [[wikipedia:jute|jute]] twine. Franz's tent utilizes bases made out of recycled vegetable containers, discarded construction materials, thatching, Body Painting sign made with recycled cardboard product.
| |
| − | *Many of our paints are reused from past bodypainting events. We reuse discarded plastic tubs and cups for mixing paints, we reuse old dropclothes.
| |
| − | *We hope to begin using ethanol or biodiesel in our generators. We are also looking at going solar in 2006.
| |
| − | *We are advocating [http://biketivism.org cycling], one of the most environmentally friendly and efficient personal transportation solutions ever created.
| |
| − | *We advocate [http://bodyfreedom.org clothing-free] recreation, staying clear from unnecessary clothing and consumption.
| |
| − | *We advocate urban and local cultural events, cutting down on unnecessary energy to go to far away places to enjoy body-positive art events (like [[wikipedia:Burning Man|Burning Man]], which is held in the middle of a desert).
| |
| − | *Our policy for our events is "Leave No Trace - [http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/parks/Environment/packitout.htm Pack it In, Pack it Out]".
| |
| − | *We select paper that has a high recycled paper content for our flyers, many of which are handed out by people walking on foot or bicycle.
| |

| − | ==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.
| |
| − | <!--The following text was taken and modified from [[Vancouver]]-->
| |
| − | ** Nudity is not forced on anybody. You decide what you are comfortable with.
| |
| − | ** Respect the diversity of many different body types, and refrain from ogling.
| |
| − | ** Realize that although we are naked, many people consider that penises, vaginas, breasts and butts are still very personal spaces. Do not bring them up as a topic of conversation with somebody you do not know. [[wikipedia:Sexual harassment|Sexual harassment]] will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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." The severity goes up substaintially when an offense is made against young children.

| − | ==Photography and videography policy==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Seattle WNBR event has adopted a photography policy which
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Prohibits photography taking place closer than 15 feet from subjects.
| |
| − | **Prohibits taking pictures with cell phones or cameras in an aggressive manner and with the intent of getting extreme closeups of personal areas, especially without permission. This makes many people very uncomfortable.
| |
| − | *Prohibits photography inside body painting tent areas without permission from those getting painted.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This policy is intended to curtail any inconsiderate photography which might otherwise take place. We wish to create a safe and supportive environment for all riders. All photographers present at the ride must abide by this policy. Those who do not will be asked to leave. This INCLUDES any riders or press who take photos.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To ensure that this policy is clear to all present, it will appear on leaflets distributed at the event.
| |
| − | If you are attending the ride as a photographer, we would like to remind you that there are various points along the route which feature particularly striking backgrounds for photos of the ride.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Photographers are encouraged to give out contact info on small cards to those who ask.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Riders and supporters are actively encouraged to enforce these policies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please report any problems with photographers to ride organizers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If it makes you uncomfortable, let the photographers know that they don't have permission to photograph you. Keep in mind however that this is a public event and you are in a public park. That does not give people the right to be disrespectful or to harass you with their photography. Also, let other riders know this so they can tell photographers not to photograph you. Another approach is to keep your clothes on during the first bit of the ride, and take them off after you have left the assembly point. We recommend this approach too. Both of these approaches will cut down on photographs taken at the start of the ride, but it's not really possible to stop people from photographing during the ride.
| |
| − | | |
| − | WNBR local events often do have a documentary team taking pictures and video, but they are generally very considerate people and will try to keep your best wishes in mind as much as possible. You can see many of their images on this website and on WNBR-generated media, which is sometimes shared with other non-profit progressive groups.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are also those who are at the event to use the images for other reasons, and you won't know without asking. If someone is being aggressive, acting suspiciously, or making you feel uncomfortable please tell a WNBR team coordinator or someone who can confront them and tell them to back off a bit and give people personal space. People need to understand the positive message of WNBR and understand that part of respecting each others' bodies is giving each other enough personal space to be comfortable. This is especially important for those that have never been naked in front of strangers or in public before. They have their own issues they are dealing with and aggressive gawking or unwanted exposure adds an additional unwanted complication to their experience. So speak up!

| − | ==Promotional video==
| |
| − | Those of you who missed the Seattle WNBR meeting on 23 April 2006 with Conrad Schmidt can now see the footage we shot in [[Wikipedia:Washington Park Arboretum|Washington State Park Arboretum]], on a very busy warm day. There were tons of people in the park that day using this trail. A lot of people got a kick out of the streaking, which went on for about an hour or so, on and off (we certainly looking highly conspicuous as we waited for people to walk by). One lady asked if she could join in.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To help encourage all 5 billion people on the planet to participate in this celebration of two-wheeled naked splendor we have made a small video promo:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Low-res video: [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/promo1.mov QuickTime] / [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/promo1.wmv Windows Media]
| |
| − | * High-res video: [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/promo2.mov QuickTime] / [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/promo2.wmv Windows Media]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please help promote the event by sending the trailer to everybody you know and inviting them to join us in a worldwide day of spreading smiles.
