===Ride location and how to get there===
 
Assemble at the Archibald Fountain, Hyde Park, Sydney. Please do not drive to the event because it will create greenhouse gases and contradicts the purpose of the event. Please ride your bike to the assembly place or take the train if it is too far for you to ride. [http://www.cityrail.info/index.jsp CityRail] allows passengers to take their [http://www.cityrail.info/Travelling_with_CityRail/English/english.jsp bikes on the train]. Sydney city is well serviced by trains and several stations are a short distance to Hyde Park

It has not yet been decided whether the WNBR Sydney ride assembly place will also be the body painting place so there may be a ride between two separate locations as there was in 2008. Clothing is ''optional'' in the World Naked Bike Ride. Riders can keep a minimum amount of clothing until after the ride proper has riden some distance from the painting place. This is called: ''A Rolling Start''. A private and secret place for stripping and body painting may be used. Details of the route may not be revealed to participants before the ride and Organisers may lead participants on the secret route on a "''need to know - as you go''" basis.<br>

''Meet at the Footbridge of the Kensington Ponds and Centenial Park at 1PM. If people want to paint up, there will a private place to do so. If people want to hide clothes etc in the long grass or bush for later that may also be a possibility. Just remember where you put it! No one will be hanging around to look after it. The ride will go down Anzac Parade and Oxford Street to the city. Back up William Street and cutting across either Darlinghurst or Paddington back to Centenial Park.

In 2008 it became obvious that the presence of the press and public would have saved the riders from harrasment from ill-informed and overzealous Campus Security staff at Sydney University (see: The Age, 9 Mar 2008: "[http://news.theage.com.au/naked-cyclists-cop-grief-from-security/20080309-1y4i.html Naked cyclists cop grief from security]"). In 2009 the Police attended the assembly/painting place and  gave the ride an escort all the way (see: Sydney Morning Herald, 16 Mar 2009, "[http://www.smh.com.au/environment/cyclists-naked-ambitions-punctured-20090315-8yyc.html Cyclists' naked ambitions punctured]". Strategies to overcome the interference by Security staff or Police in 2011 will be implemented. In 2010 the Police did not show up at all before during or after the ride. One week before the 2010 Sydney ride, Spencer Tunick photographed 5000 naked people on the steps outside the Sydney Opera House to demonstrate Sydney being a tolerant city. This may have been the moment when Police decided to treat WNBR in the same fashion, as a harmless non-sexual public event for a good cause. The WNBR is 100% legal.<br>

In August 2007, Marte volunteered to help organise WNBR in Sydney for 2008, 2009 and 2010. Marte can not commit to organising in 2011 and seeks new volunteers to take over the role and from as many people as possible to help make WNBR Sydney 2011 a big success. Your contribution of ideas and practical help is welcome.

Media enquiries

World Naked Bike Ride - Sydney organiser: to be advised

Critical Mass

All riders interested in participating in the Sydney WNBR should consider participating in Sydney Critical Mass. Marte will be attending some Sydney Critical Mass rides in the lead up to the Sydney WNBR to promote participation, encourage people to help organise and holding organising meetings after the CM ride. We meet at the Archibald Fountain at the Northern end of Hyde Park, on the last Friday of every month at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm departure. You can find a map and pictures of the location on the Sydney Critical Mass wiki page.

Legality

The laws that are relevant to public nudity in New South Wales are applicable throughout the state. For discussion of this topic, please refer to the separate page about New South Wales Laws.

Future

In August 2007, Marte volunteered to help organise WNBR in Sydney for 2008 and this continued in 2009 and 2010. In 2011 cycling activists from Sydney who often participate in Critical Mass organised the ride. New volunteers are always welcome to help make WNBR Sydney 2012 a big success. Your contribution of ideas and practical help is welcome. People interested in participating or organising a WNBR in Sydney should at least try to come to Sydney Critical Mass rides (see above) and the occasional WNBR meetings that follow, join the discussion group, try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. Please refer to the Organizing a ride page for more information about how to help organise a WNBR.
