===Route===<br />
9 June 2018: The route is subject to change. It will start and finish at SHFL. Planned stops include Bohemeo's, Under the Radar Brewery, the main entrance to Rice University (memorial ceremony at Main & Sunset), and Lola's Depot.<br><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<!--Add information about the history of events at this ride location --><br />
<p>For 2017, the theme was "The Full Moon." The ride was originally scheduled for 10 June, just after the full moon and the standard Northern Hemisphere date. Riders may interpret the theme however they choose. It actually took place on 17 June, starting on the outer fringes of the Heights, starting and stopping at four micro-breweries, eventually venturing outside Loop 610 for the first time, and crashing a large clothing-optional Burnthday party.</p><br />
<p>2016's theme celebrate the City of Houston's new Bike Plan, containing the first proposed changes to the city's cycling infrastructure since 1992. Houston's City Council is negotiating a long term municipal plan to provide more comfortable and better connected bicycle routes throughout the city, and to reduce all traffic fatalities to zero. Meanwhile, with gasoline cheaper, more motorists are driving more miles, faster and less cautiously, and cyclists keep dying on our streets and roads. Along the ride, participants observed the recent death of a friend in a hit-and-run auto-bike collision near her home in eastern Harris County.</p><br />
<p>The theme for 2015 was "<b>H-Town v. Houston</b>," recognizing the conflict between counter-cultural H-Town and the relentlessly gentrifying Houston. H-Town believes in freedom of expression, preserving historic sites, and conserving the planet. Houston has a history of paving over everything that doesn't conform to the needs of developers and oil executives.</p><br />
<p>Houston also introduced the Down Underwear ride in 2015. This March event, with riders in their undies, is in solidarity with Southern Hemisphere WNBRs.<br />
<p>In 2014, the theme was "<b>Ride of the Living Dead</b>," Deadicated [sic] to Houston-area cyclists who have been killed by motor vehicles, including MetroRail, in recent years. The ride visited the sites of four such fatal accidents. We still call upon the City of Houston to continue and enhance its efforts to making bicycle transport safer. We also call upon our cycling friends to educate themselves on what you can and can't get away with on Houston's streets and roads.</p><br />
<p>2011 was Houston's first WNBR. In 2012, we had two rides to accommodate busy and traveling people who could not be there for the official Northern Hemisphere ride. This tradition of doubling our pleasure continued in 2013: the 8 June ride was in part a demonstration against the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, while the 15 June ride was more recreational and involved a lot of fountains.</p><br />
<p>The "Naked" part is with an asterisk, knowing how HPD might respond to a troop of cyclists with their bits on display. The dress code is the standard Bare As You Dare. The more riders we have, the more naked we can be.</p><br />
<p>Please bring your own supplies to adorn your body or bike, as the facilitators cannot provide for all.</p><br />

<br />
The first rides in these locations took place on 12 June 2004 on the same date as the Northern Hemisphere. In 2005 a distinct Southern Hemisphere ride date took place on 13 February 2005 i.e. Valentines Day. In 2006 it was decided among the southern hemisphere cities to move the date to the second Saturday in March and this tradition has continued.<!-- debate has taken place several times since on the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WNBR-Coordinators/ WNBR Coordinators Yahoo! Group] to re-afirm the second Saturday in March although this date caused problems in Australian States of SA and VIC in 2008 due to the occurrence of the public holiday on the second monday in March falling on the same weekend. This problem will occur again in 2011 and Australia could propose the Saturday after the second Monday in March in 2011 among all the Southern Hemisphere Organisers ie the third Saturday in March in 2011. Or rides in South Australia and Victoria could elect to hold their rides out of step with the official ride date by a week (before or after) to make it convenient for them. Another clash in occurs where the second Saturday in March falls on the 8th of March as this is International Women's Day and this will occur again in 2014. --><br />
<br />
For most cities '''the next southern hemisphere ride is Saturday 8 March 2014.''' (check individual rides to make sure) <!--several Australian rides are being held either the first Saturday or the third Saturday of March --><br />

==History==<br />
<!--Add information about the history of events at this ride location --><br />
<p>This year's theme celebrates the City of Houston's new Bike Plan, containing the first proposed changes to the city's cycling infrastructure since 1992. The city has set a goal of reducing all traffic fatalities to zero. Meanwhile, with gasoline cheaper, more motorists are driving more miles, faster and less cautiously, and cyclists keep dying on our streets and roads.</p><br />
<p>The theme for 2015 was "<b>H-Town v. Houston</b>," recognizing the conflict between counter-cultural H-Town and the relentlessly gentrifying Houston. H-Town believes in freedom of expression, preserving historic sites, and conserving the planet. Houston has a history of paving over everything that doesn't conform to the needs of developers and oil executives.</p><br />
<p>Houston also introduced the Down Underwear ride in 2015. This March event, with riders in their undies, is in solidarity with Southern Hemisphere WNBRs.<br />
<p>Last year's theme was '<b>Ride of the Living Dead</b>, Deadicated to Houston-area cyclists who have been killed by motor vehicles, including MetroRail, in recent years. The ride visited the sites of four such fatal accidents. We still call upon the City of Houston to continue and enhance its efforts to making bicycle transport safer. We also call upon our cycling friends to educate themselves on what you can and can't get away with on Houston's streets and roads.</p><br />
<p>2011 was Houston's first WNBR. In 2012, we had two rides to accommodate busy and traveling people who could not be there for the official Northern Hemisphere ride. This tradition of doubling our pleasure continued in 2013: the 8 June ride was in part a demonstration against the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, while the 15 June ride was more recreational and involved a lot of fountains.</p><br />
<p>The "Naked" part is with an asterisk, knowing how HPD might respond to a troop of cyclists with their bits on display. The dress code is the standard Bare As You Dare. The more riders we have, the more naked we can be.</p><br />
<p>Please bring your own supplies to adorn your body or bike, as the facilitators cannot provide for all.</p><br />

==History==<br />
<!--Add information about the history of events at this ride location --><br />
<p>This year's theme celebrates the City of Houston's new Bike Plan, containing the first proposed changes to the city's cycling infrastructure since 1992. The city has set a goal of reducing all traffic fatalities to zero. Meanwhile, with gasoline cheaper, more motorists are driving more miles, faster and less cautiously, and cyclists keep dying on our streets and roads.</p><br />
<p>The theme for 2015 was "<b>H-Town v. Houston</b>," recognizing the conflict between counter-cultural H-Town and the relentlessly gentrifying Houston. H-Town believes in freedom of expression, preserving historic sites, and conserving the planet. Houston has a history of paving over everything that doesn't conform to the needs of developers and oil executives.</p><br />
<p>Houston also introduced the Down Underwear ride in 2015. This March event, with riders in their undies, is in solidarity with Southern Hemisphere WNBRs.<br />
<p>Last year's theme was '<b>Ride of the Living Dead</b>, Deadicated to Houston-area cyclists who have been killed by motor vehicles, including MetroRail, in recent years. The ride visited the sites of four such fatal accidents. We still call upon the City of Houston to continue and enhance its efforts to making bicycle transport safer. We also call upon our cycling friends to educate themselves on what you can and can't get away with on Houston's streets and roads.</p><br />
<p>2011 was Houston's first WNBR. In 2012, we had two rides to accommodate busy and traveling people who could not be there for the official Northern Hemisphere ride. This tradition of doubling our pleasure continued in 2013: the 8 June ride was in part a demonstration against the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, while the 15 June ride was more recreational and involved a lot of fountains.</p><br />
<p>The "Naked" part is with an asterisk, knowing how HPD might respond to a troop of cyclists with their bits on display. The dress code is the standard Bare As You Dare. The more riders we have, the more naked we can be.</p><br />
<p>Please bring your own supplies to adorn your body or bike, as the facilitators cannot provide for all.</p><br />
