==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===
 
Beyond the above goals, the WNBR Seattle event focuses on the following:
 
 
 
(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==
+
==Donations==
 
+
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.
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.
 
 
 
<div style="font-size: 70%">WNBR Seattle, [http://hempride.org Hemp Ride] and [http://jaybirdrun.org Jaybird Run] are productions of '''[http://organicparty.org The Organic Living Party]''' (OLP) and '''[http://worklessparty.org The Work Less Party] USA'''.

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.
