Event Summary:

* '''March 9th SF WNBR:''' We are doing our 4th annual Southern Hemisphere WNBR. This will be our first SF WNBR under the new anti-nudity law. Now more than ever, we need you to call attention to environmental activism, body freedom, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up!

===Schedule===
*'''11:00 AM''': Gather. The earlier time allows us to take advantage of the midday warmth. Undress. Apply sunscreen. Turn sheets & maps distributed and going over route details. Bike checkout & attaching signs / body painting & slogans. Group photo, then pre-start circling in the plaza in front of the fountain
*'''just after Noon''': Ride starts (approx). Depending on the mood of the group and the amount of media coverage we are getting the ride may start a bit after noon.
*'''about 4 hours after it starts''' (approx): Main ride finishes. Riders are free to leave the mass at anytime, as it is a DIY (do it yourself) ride, but why miss out on the fun?


===Route===

'''In Revision.''' The ride details are still being worked out.

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops with the intention of maximum visibility to the motoring public, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

===Weather===
Early march weather tends to be a bit chilly and windy but the local forecast looks promising. Check the local weather at the following sites:

* [http://www.sfgate.com/weather/ San Francisco Chronicle]
* [http://weather.sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/US/CA/San_Francisco.html KCBS Radio, San Francisco]

===Getting there===
If you live out of town, please try to use public transportation to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. If you do drive, try to carpool. There is a fair number of parking on the southern area of Market near the ride's final destination at the Castro/Market corner. It takes about 10-15 minutes to ride your bike from there to Justin Herman Plaza. Check out these websites for details:

* [http://www.bart.gov/ Bay Area Rapid Transit]
* [http://www.caltrain.com/ CalTrain]

|width="364px" style="padding-left: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders last year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is not so liberal anymore with the passage of an anti-nudity ordiance that went into effect on February 1st, 2013. This will be a test to see how far we can push the limits. If you go naked, it helps to have a protest message to go with the nudity in the form of body painted slogans or signs. Be prepared to cover up. So far, the authorities have been nice in giving people an opporunity to cover up before giving out citations. Bare breasts are okay. To be legal, you just need to barely cover your genitals and rectum. Going naked outside the main group will definately get you cited. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) (now out of date) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

Event Summary:

* '''July 28th SF WNBR:''' We are doing our 2nd Northern Hemisphere WNBR of the year as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed July 28 as a new alternative ride date. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" This will be our first SF WNBR on July 28th along with WNBRs in Vancouver, Saint Louis, Charleston and Cork, Ireland occurring on the same day. So, you'll have at least one more chance this year to call attention to environmental activism, body freedom, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up!

* '''September 22nd SF Nude-In:''' The 3rd annual [http://www.facebook.com/events/389367984409373 public "Nude In" demonstration] organized by Mitch Hightower will occur on Saturday, September 22 at Jane Warner Plaza in the Castro at noon. Even though this protest is unrelated to the WNBRs, it supports one of the WNBR goals of body freedom. Last year we did do a low-key WNBR-style naked bike ride that ended at last year's Nude In event. We may do the same this year. Also, last year on this same day, the environmental group 350.org held their [https://www.facebook.com/350.org/timeline/story?ut=32&wstart=1314860400&wend=1317452399&hash=10150694656347708&pagefilter=3&ustart=1 "Moving Planet"] march up Market Street to the Civic Center. If they do this again, we will have a contingent of WNBR representatives, but likely it will not be an official WNBR ride.

===Schedule===
*'''11:00 AM''': Gather. The earlier time allows us to take advantage of the midday warmth during the middle of summer. Undress. Apply sunscreen. Turn sheets & maps distributed and going over route details. Bike checkout & attaching signs / body painting & slogans. Group photo, then pre-start circling in the plaza in front of the fountain
*'''just after Noon''': Ride starts (approx). Depending on the mood of the group and the amount of media coverage we are getting the ride may start a bit after noon.
*'''about 4 hours after it starts''' (approx): Main ride finishes. Riders are free to leave the mass at anytime, as it is a DIY (do it yourself) ride, but why miss out on the fun?


===Route===

'''In Revision.''' The [[San_Francisco:Route|route]] for the July ride is being revised. Initially, the intent was to revisit parts of the first 2004 route, and then head westward toward Ocean Beach. But then it was learned that the dreaded LA Dodgers are in town to play our beloved SF Giants, so we must do a loop around AT&T Park to start the ride and delight all those baseball fans. We'll then return to Market Street on Third Street and continue to the Wiggle up to the Haight (Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Stop!!!) Then we will head to Fulton and out to Ocean Beach. We will then ride south on the Great Highway, past the Zoo, & a lap around Lake Merced. Then we will head back east up Sloat where we will turn onto Portola and Market Street to our finish at the Market Street/Castro Street corner.

It is a longer route, but with more flat portions. There are also good bike lanes on most of it, plus the Great Highway southbound has been frequently closed to vehicular traffic this summer. The final portion on Portola is a mild uphill grade and we plan several stops to regroup and refresh ourselves

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops with the intention of maximum visibility to the motoring public, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

===Weather===
Late July weather should be quite warm and ideal for a naked bike ride. As of Monday July 23, the forecast for the weekend shows a warmup with temperatures in the 70's in most parts of the city, 60's at the coast. If wind and fog is a concern, it is suggested to have a windbreaker ready for any cooler portions of the ride. Check the local weather at the following sites:

* [http://www.sfgate.com/weather/ San Francisco Chronicle]
* [http://weather.sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/US/CA/San_Francisco.html KCBS Radio, San Francisco]

|width="364px" style="padding-left: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Getting there===
If you live out of town, please try to use public transportation to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. If you do drive, try to carpool. There is a fair number of parking on the southern area of Market near the ride's final destination at the Castro/Market corner. It takes about 10-15 minutes to ride your bike from there to Justin Herman Plaza. Check out these websites for details:

* [http://www.bart.gov/ Bay Area Rapid Transit]
* [http://www.caltrain.com/ CalTrain]

===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders this year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

The July 2012 route is mostly nailed down. You can view preliminary [https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.419189431456691.83544.104135439628760&type=3 route maps] on our companion Facebook page. The route is quite different, covering new territory from previous rides.

===2012===
====Northern Hemisphere Route (July)====
=====Description=====
''To be completed...''
====Northern Hemisphere Route (June)====
=====Description=====
The 1st leg is mostly on flat areas along the city's waterfront landmark areas like AT&T Park, the Ferry Building, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Aquatic Park and the Marina Green. There are those inevitable San Francisco hills though. A slight uphill wiggle is needed to get past Fort Mason on Bay. There is also a long stretch of mild grade that will be used to ascend to the Lombard Street curves through Polk Street and Larkin Street. It is not necessary to ride down these curves, and if you choose, just walk your bike up to Hyde on the last hill and walk it down the curves. Many hundreds of Critical Mass riders did this in the past May Critical Mass ride.

Want an even tamer option? There will be a split point on Larkin St. where opting out of the Lombard curve will detour you down to the beginning of North Beach in front of Blazing Saddles Bike Rentals. Here the group will gather up again for the remainder of the first leg. After North Beach, there will be a loop around in the South Of Market area (SOMA), a brief run on Market Street to Castro District past Dolores Park to the finish point at the Castro/Market St. corner in the Jane Warner Plaza.

The 1st Leg is about 18 miles long.

If the first leg is enough riding, you are invited to rest up and take a break at the Jane Warner Plaza, which is clothing-optional.

Those who want more riding are urged to continue on for the shorter 2nd leg, which is about 6 miles (40 minutes estimate, but with more hill climbing. Both 1st & 2nd legs take us down to the Castro/Market corner as the finish point. The second leg will take us up the Wiggle to the west end of Haight Street with a hopeful repeat of our successful patronage of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream at the corner of Haight & Ashbury. Then the ride will return past Dolores Park again to rejoin with the other riders for a post-ride gathering in the Jane Warner Plaza. There are local businesses nearby with take-out food options: pizza, Chinese, Italian, deli, cookies, etc...

==2004==
===First SF World Naked Bike Ride===
*SF rides the first WNBR in 2004 with about 40 mostly male riders. We gathered at noon in the Embarcadero near the North end of Justin Herman Plaza (just North of the huge fountain with all of the cubic shapes) and head out at 1 PM along Market St to the Castro district. Did we ever stop for pictures? I dont think so. Who knew we were so beautiful?

We keep a steady pace heading almost to Golden Gate Park. We stop, rest and then turn around in SF's ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhandle_(San_Francisco) Panhandle]) to return to Embarcadero. We also stop and rest (and pose for photos) on the Polk St. steps of City Hall (there is usually some Saturday event going on in the Civic Center Park).

==2011==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
Just a short report on the March 12th ride. We had a sizable turnout, compared to last March, of 50 or more riders with a nice mix of genders and ages. It was a nice mellow group. Most of the riders went naked including several women despite the cold coastal breezes at times. When riding further from the coastline the weather was actually quite pleasant. This year we road traffic-heavy Van Ness Street, the main route to the Golden Gate Bridge. We received loads of smiles, laughs, thumbs ups, honks and cheers even when the group took up one entire lane of traffic. Most passengers in passing cars had their iPhones out taking pictures. The new route up and over Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world, was much better than last June. Most riders were able to ride to the top without walking. All-and-all a very successful ride.

===Special WNBR BP Oil Spill One-Year-Later Protest on April 20===
The ride went back & forth on Embarcadero past Fisherman's Wharf, & stopping at the Ferry Building around 6:30. It was overcast, but minimal wind and no rain. With the weather uncertain, it was expected to be a small turnout, but a dozen people; riders, spectators and photographers were at the start at 4:00pm and a half dozen bared all in the plaza as KTVU Channel 2 filmed & prepared for a news release later aired on the Ten O'Clock News. See below.
*The Morning Rush, [http://video.aol.com/video/birthday-suit-bikers-morning-express/1554125622 '''Birthday Suit Bikers'''] video April 21, 2011; (originally recorded and reported by KTVU Channel 2 on the 10 PM news, April 20, 2011).
===Special Encore Earth Day SF WNBR on April 23===
Only 6 riders showed up with roughly half being some of the better known Castro urban nudists. However, given that it was a last minute event put together only 4 days earlier, the turn out wasn't too bad. All six of us rode naked despite the cool, cloudy weather. The ride leader wore bright, florescent-green fishnet stockings in honor of Earth Day; another had No BP signs on his bike; and, another wore a silly hat; while the rest remained unadorned. We decided to head for the AT&T/Giants Stadium as the game was about to start (against the Braves).

Sure enough, there were huge crowds with lots of police doing crowd control. Despite our rather small contingent of all male riders, the 30 or so police we rode by allowed us to continue our naked celebration of Earth Day as long as we didn't linger too long in any one place. And, we got lots of cheers, smiles and laughs from the game crowd. We had a few bike problems along the way and lost one rider for awhile. We then headed towards Pier 39 but the cold breezes coming off the bay were too much for our unprotected bodies and we decided to call it quits after 2+ hours of riding.

*[[San_Francisco:Ride_Report_2011_06|'''Ride Report''']] by Jim Zaun, 18 June 2011
==2012==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
This year the turn out was equal to the previous year's June rides with 150-200 riders. We've only been doing it 3 years and it's already as big as the main ride. We had many repeat riders coming back to do it again. The gender mix was very good with several females riding in the nude. Probably the best gender balance we've had yet. All and all a very successful event with 4 times the turnout from last year.

===2nd Annual Earth Day SF WNBR===
Likewise, on our 2nd annual Earth Day ride we had 4 times as many riders as last year with ~24 riders. This year we went for a new starting location at a regular SF urban nudist hangout informally called the ''Buff Stop'' at Market and Castro. The area is also at the center of the LGBT community in SF. On the 1st leg we rode up Market to The Ferry building, then to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf and Aquatic Park, then back to the Ferry Building, across Embarcadero and down to 2nd & Townsend, then back to Red's Java House where we stopped and tested the no nudes, no service rule. Some of the group went in and succeeded in getting food (take out). The owner didn't mind and we even had a friendly chat. Then we went on to circle the Rincon Park and then took Howard to 11th then over to Folsom and back to the Ferry Building and up Market to the Earth Day Festival. We managed to get down the center of the arcade and back down the next aisle until a big black security guard told us we had to leave. Then the 5 remaining of us went over to Valencia at 18th and up Castro to the starting point at the Market/Castro corner. Several of the other riders were still there and the last of us left about 5:30.

===Northern Hemisphere SF WNBRs===
====June 9th Ride====
The June 9th ride grew in numbers over last year to about 140 riders, along with a large spectator turn out. A lot more spectators were taking pictures with iPads then we have ever seen before. There were more women riding completely naked, topless or in underwear which was a nice shift from the typical male:female ratio that rides like this often get. The SF WNBR received top billing on the FunCheap events list for that day. Someone said KGO radio promoted the event. NBC TV News and the Bay Guardian where there with reporters covering the event and doing interviews. Mitch Hightower of Hightower Productions also covered the ride at several points along the way.

Event Summary:

* '''July 28th SF WNBR:''' We are doing our 2nd Northern Hemisphere WNBR of the year as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed July 28 as a new alternative ride date. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" This will be our first SF WNBR on July 28th along with WNBRs in Vancouver, Saint Louis, Charleston and Cork, Ireland occurring on the same day. So, you'll have at least one more chance this year to call attention to environmental activism, body freedom, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up!

* '''September 22nd SF Nude-In:''' The 3rd annual [http://www.facebook.com/events/389367984409373 public "Nude In" demonstration] organized by Mitch Hightower will occur on Saturday, September 22 at Jane Warner Plaza in the Castro at noon. Even though this protest is unrelated to the WNBRs, it supports one of the WNBR goals of body freedom. Last year we did do a low-key WNBR-style naked bike ride that ended at last year's Nude In event. We may do the same this year. Also, last year on this same day, the environmental group 350.org held their [https://www.facebook.com/350.org/timeline/story?ut=32&wstart=1314860400&wend=1317452399&hash=10150694656347708&pagefilter=3&ustart=1 "Moving Planet"] march up Market Street to the Civic Center. If they do this again, we will have a contingent of WNBR representatives, but likely it will not be an official WNBR ride.

===Schedule===
*'''11:00 AM''': Gather. The earlier time allows us to take advantage of the midday warmth during the middle of summer. Undress. Apply sunscreen. Turn sheets & maps distributed and going over route details. Bike checkout & attaching signs / body painting & slogans. Group photo, then pre-start circling in the plaza in front of the fountain
*'''just after Noon''': Ride starts (approx). Depending on the mood of the group and the amount of media coverage we are getting the ride may start a bit after noon.
*'''about 4 hours after it starts''' (approx): Main ride finishes. Riders are free to leave the mass at anytime, as it is a DIY (do it yourself) ride, but why miss out on the fun?


===Route===

'''In Revision.''' The route for the July ride is being revised. Initially, the intent was to revisit parts of the first 2004 route, and then head westward toward Ocean Beach. But then it was learned that the dreaded LA Dodgers are in town to play our beloved SF Giants, so we must do a loop around AT&T Park to start the ride and delight all those baseball fans. We'll then return to Market Street on Third Street and continue to the Wiggle up to the Haight (Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Stop!!!) Then we will head to Fulton and out to Ocean Beach. We will then ride south on the Great Highway, past the Zoo, & a lap around Lake Merced. Then we will head back east up Sloat where we will turn onto Portola and Market Street to our finish at the Market Street/Castro Street corner.

It is a longer route, but with more flat portions. There are also good bike lanes on most of it, plus the Great Highway southbound has been frequently closed to vehicular traffic this summer. The final portion on Portola is a mild uphill grade and we plan several stops to regroup and refresh ourselves

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops with the intention of maximum visibility to the motoring public, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

===Weather===
Late July weather should be quite warm and ideal for a naked bike ride. As of Monday July 23, the forecast for the weekend shows a warmup with temperatures in the 70's in most parts of the city, 60's at the coast. If wind and fog is a concern, it is suggested to have a windbreaker ready for any cooler portions of the ride. Check the local weather at the following sites:

* [http://www.sfgate.com/weather/ San Francisco Chronicle]
* [http://weather.sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/US/CA/San_Francisco.html KCBS Radio, San Francisco]

|width="364px" style="padding-left: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Getting there===
If you live out of town, please try to use public transportation to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. If you do drive, try to carpool. There is a fair number of parking on the southern area of Market near the ride's final destination at the Castro/Market corner. It takes about 10-15 minutes to ride your bike from there to Justin Herman Plaza. Check out these websites for details:

* [http://www.bart.gov/ Bay Area Rapid Transit]
* [http://www.caltrain.com/ CalTrain]

===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders this year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

===First SF World Naked Bike Ride===
*SF rides the first WNBR in 2004 with about 40 mostly male riders. We gathered at noon in the Embarcadero near the North end of Justin Herman Plaza (just North of the huge fountain with all of the cubic shapes) and head out at 1 PM along Market St to the Castro district. Did we ever stop for pictures? I dont think so. Who knew we were so beautiful?

==2009 SF WNBR==
*At the 2009 event there were around 120 riders. We head out at 1 PM when the body painters have done their work.
We keep a steady pace heading almost to Golden Gate Park. We stop, rest and then turn around in SF's ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhandle_(San_Francisco) Panhandle]) to return to Embarcadero. We also stop and rest (and pose for photos) on the Polk St. steps of City Hall (there is usually some Saturday event going on in the Civic Center Park).

==2011==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
Just a short report on the March 12th ride. We had a sizable turnout, compared to last March, of 50 or more riders with a nice mix of genders and ages. It was a nice mellow group. Most of the riders went naked including several women despite the cold coastal breezes at times. When riding further from the coastline the weather was actually quite pleasant. This year we road traffic-heavy Van Ness Street, the main route to the Golden Gate Bridge. We received loads of smiles, laughs, thumbs ups, honks and cheers even when the group took up one entire lane of traffic. Most passengers in passing cars had their iPhones out taking pictures. The new route up and over Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world, was much better than last June. Most riders were able to ride to the top without walking. All-and-all a very successful ride.

===Special WNBR BP Oil Spill One-Year-Later Protest on April 20===
The ride went back & forth on Embarcadero past Fisherman's Wharf, & stopping at the Ferry Building around 6:30. It was overcast, but minimal wind and no rain. With the weather uncertain, it was expected to be a small turnout, but a dozen people; riders, spectators and photographers were at the start at 4:00pm and a half dozen bared all in the plaza as KTVU Channel 2 filmed & prepared for a news release later aired on the Ten O'Clock News. See below.
*The Morning Rush, [http://video.aol.com/video/birthday-suit-bikers-morning-express/1554125622 '''Birthday Suit Bikers'''] video April 21, 2011; (originally recorded and reported by KTVU Channel 2 on the 10 PM news, April 20, 2011).
===Special Encore Earth Day SF WNBR on April 23===
Only 6 riders showed up with roughly half being some of the better known Castro urban nudists. However, given that it was a last minute event put together only 4 days earlier, the turn out wasn't too bad. All six of us rode naked despite the cool, cloudy weather. The ride leader wore bright, florescent-green fishnet stockings in honor of Earth Day; another had No BP signs on his bike; and, another wore a silly hat; while the rest remained unadorned. We decided to head for the AT&T/Giants Stadium as the game was about to start (against the Braves).

Sure enough, there were huge crowds with lots of police doing crowd control. Despite our rather small contingent of all male riders, the 30 or so police we rode by allowed us to continue our naked celebration of Earth Day as long as we didn't linger too long in any one place. And, we got lots of cheers, smiles and laughs from the game crowd. We had a few bike problems along the way and lost one rider for awhile. We then headed towards Pier 39 but the cold breezes coming off the bay were too much for our unprotected bodies and we decided to call it quits after 2+ hours of riding.

===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
This year the turn out was equal to the previous year's June rides with 150-200 riders. We've only been doing it 3 years and it's already as big as the main ride. We had many repeat riders coming back to do it again. The gender mix was very good with several females riding in the nude. Probably the best gender balance we've had yet. All and all a very successful event with 4 times the turnout from last year.

===2nd Annual Earth Day SF WNBR===
Likewise, on our 2nd annual Earth Day ride we had 4 times as many riders as last year with ~24 riders. This year we went for a new starting location at a regular SF urban nudist hangout informally called the ''Buff Stop'' at Market and Castro. The area is also at the center of the LGBT community in SF. On the 1st leg we rode up Market to The Ferry building, then to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf and Aquatic Park, then back to the Ferry Building, across Embarcadero and down to 2nd & Townsend, then back to Red's Java House where we stopped and tested the no nudes, no service rule. Some of the group went in and succeeded in getting food (take out). The owner didn't mind and we even had a friendly chat. Then we went on to circle the Rincon Park and then took Howard to 11th then over to Folsom and back to the Ferry Building and up Market to the Earth Day Festival. We managed to get down the center of the arcade and back down the next aisle until a big black security guard told us we had to leave. Then the 5 remaining of us went over to Valencia at 18th and up Castro to the starting point at the Market/Castro corner. Several of the other riders were still there and the last of us left about 5:30.

Event Summary:

* '''June 9th SF WNBR:''' The June 9th ride was a bit smaller than previous years with approximately 100 to 120 riders together with a large spectator turn out. A lot more spectators were taking pictures with iPads then we have ever seen before. Despite the smaller turn out, there were more women riding completely naked, topless or in underwear which was a nice shift from the nearly all male turn out that we often have. The SF WNBR recieved top billing on the FunCheap events list for that day. Someone said KGO? radio promoted the event. (Can someone verify that?) NBC TV News and the Bay Guardian where there with reporters covering the event and doing interviews. Mitch Hightower of Hightower Productions also covered the ride at several points along the way. And, finally, we ended up doing a lengthy interview about the SF WNBR with a cinematographer doing a French film documentary on San Francisco. We'll provide more details about the ride in the coming days.

* '''July 28th SF WNBR:''' Meanwhile. we are planning to do our 2nd Northern Hemisphere WNBR of the year as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed July 28 as a new alternative ride date. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" This will be our first SF WNBR on July 28th along with WNBRs in Cork, Ireland, Saint Louis and Charleston occuring on the same day. So, you'll have at least one more chance this year to call attention to environmental activism, body freedom, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up!

* '''September 22nd SF Nude-In:''' The 3rd annual [http://www.facebook.com/events/389367984409373 public "Nude In" demonstration] organized by Mitch Hightower will occur on Saturday, September 22 at Jane Warner Plaza in the Castro at noon. Even though this protest is unrelated to the WNBRs, it supports one of the WNBR goals of body freedom. Last year we did do a low-key WNBR-style naked bike ride that ended at last year's Nude In event. We may do the same this year.

===Weather===
Late July weather should be quite warm and ideal for a naked bike ride. Check the local weather at the following sites:

* [http://www.sfgate.com/weather/ San Francisco Chronicle]
* [http://weather.sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/US/CA/San_Francisco.html KCBS Radio, San Francisco]

===Getting there===
If you live out of town, please try to use public transportion to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. Check out these websites for details:

* [http://www.bart.gov/ Bay Area Rapid Transit]
* [http://www.caltrain.com/ CalTrain]

===Route===


'''To be determined.''' We had some complaints that the June route was too long and we ended up truncating 10 miles off the planned route. We will definately ''not'' be doing the steep Russian Hill climb and the ''Crookedest Street in the World'' segment but, instead, plan to include a ride down Folsom Street which is very flat.

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops so we can show off our decorated naked bodies and bikes, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

|width="364px" style="padding-left: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders this year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

==2004==
===First SF World Naked Bike Ride===
*SF rides the first WNBR in 2004 with about 40 mostly male riders. We gathered at noon in the Embarcadero near the North end of Justin Herman Plaza (just North of the huge fountain with all of the cubic shapes) and head out at 1 PM along Market St to the Castro district. Did we ever stop for pictures? I dont think so. Who knew we were so beautiful?

===Bike ride to celebrate National Naked Awareness Day===
*Then in July we did it again! But this time, in celebration of Nat'l Naked Awareness Day, we were protected by a new group of the WNBR angels.
*A few weeks later we got to teach the SF City District Attorney, and SFPD cop John Velasquez, about respect for the law when the SFPD cited 5 of the July riders group.

==2009 SF WNBR==
*At the 2009 event there were around 120 riders. We head out at 1 PM when the body painters have done their work.
We keep a steady pace heading almost to Golden Gate Park. We stop, rest and then turn around in SF's ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhandle_(San_Francisco) Panhandle]) to return to Embarcadero. We also stop and rest (and pose for photos) on the Polk St. steps of City Hall (there is usually some Saturday event going on in the Civic Center Park).

==2011==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
Just a short report on the March 12th ride. We had a sizable turnout, compared to last March, of 50 or more riders with a nice mix of genders and ages. It was a nice mellow group. Most of the riders went naked including several women despite the cold coastal breezes at times. When riding further from the coastline the weather was actually quite pleasant. This year we road traffic-heavy Van Ness Street, the main route to the Golden Gate Bridge. We received loads of smiles, laughs, thumbs ups, honks and cheers even when the group took up one entire lane of traffic. Most passengers in passing cars had their iPhones out taking pictures. The new route up and over Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world, was much better than last June. Most riders were able to ride to the top without walking. All-and-all a very successful ride.

===Special WNBR BP Oil Spill One-Year-Later Protest on April 20===
The ride went back & forth on Embarcadero past Fisherman's Wharf, & stopping at the Ferry Building around 6:30. It was overcast, but minimal wind and no rain. With the weather uncertain, it was expected to be a small turnout, but a dozen people; riders, spectators and photographers were at the start at 4:00pm and a half dozen bared all in the plaza as KTVU Channel 2 filmed & prepared for a news release later aired on the Ten O'Clock News. See below.
*The Morning Rush, [http://video.aol.com/video/birthday-suit-bikers-morning-express/1554125622 '''Birthday Suit Bikers'''] video April 21, 2011; (originally recorded and reported by KTVU Channel 2 on the 10 PM news, April 20, 2011).
===Special Encore Earth Day SF WNBR on April 23===
Only 6 riders showed up with roughly half being some of the better known Castro urban nudists. However, given that it was a last minute event put together only 4 days earlier, the turn out wasn't too bad. All six of us rode naked despite the cool, cloudy weather. The ride leader wore bright, florescent-green fishnet stockings in honor of Earth Day; another had No BP signs on his bike; and, another wore a silly hat; while the rest remained unadorned. We decided to head for the AT&T/Giants Stadium as the game was about to start (against the Braves).

Sure enough, there were huge crowds with lots of police doing crowd control. Despite our rather small contingent of all male riders, the 30 or so police we rode by allowed us to continue our naked celebration of Earth Day as long as we didn't linger too long in any one place. And, we got lots of cheers, smiles and laughs from the game crowd. We had a few bike problems along the way and lost one rider for awhile. We then headed towards Pier 39 but the cold breezes coming off the bay were too much for our unprotected bodies and we decided to call it quits after 2+ hours of riding.

==2012==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
This year the turn out was equal to the previous year's June rides with 150-200 riders. We've only been doing it 3 years and it's already as big as the main ride. We had many repeat riders coming back to do it again. The gender mix was very good with several females riding in the nude. Probably the best gender balance we've had yet. All and all a very successful event with 4 times the turnout from last year.

===2nd Annual Earth Day SF WNBR===
Likewise, on our 2nd annual Earth Day ride we had 4 times as many riders as last year with ~24 riders. This year we went for a new starting location at a regular SF urban nudist hangout informally called the ''Buff Stop'' at Market and Castro. The area is also at the center of the LGBT community in SF. On the 1st leg we rode up Market to The Ferry building, then to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf and Aquatic Park, then back to the Ferry Building, across Embarcadero and down to 2nd & Townsend, then back to Red's Java House where we stopped and tested the no nudes, no service rule. Some of the group went in and succeeded in getting food (take out). The owner didn't mind and we even had a friendly chat. Then we went on to circle the Rincon Park and then took Howard to 11th then over to Folsom and back to the Ferry Building and up Market to the Earth Day Festival. We managed to get down the center of the arcade and back down the next aisle until a big black security guard told us we had to leave. Then the 5 remaining of us went over to Valencia at 18th and up Castro to the starting point at the Market/Castro corner. Several of the other riders were still there and the last of us left about 5:30.

Event Summary:

* '''June 9th SF WNBR:''' The June 9th ride was a bit smaller than previous years with approximately 100 to 120 riders together with a large spectator turn out. A lot more spectators were taking pictures with iPads then we have ever seen before. Despite the smaller turn out, there were more women riding completely naked, topless or in underwear which was a nice shift from the nearly all male turn out that we often have. The SF WNBR recieved top billing on the FunCheap events list for that day. Someone said KGO? radio promoted the event. (Can someone verify that?) NBC TV News and the Bay Guardian where there with reporters covering the event and doing interviews. Mitch Hightower of Hightower Productions also covered the ride at several points along the way. And, finally, we ended up doing a lengthy interview about the SF WNBR with a cinematographer doing a French film documentary on San Francisco. We'll provide more details about the ride in the coming days.

* '''July 28th SF WNBR:''' Meanwhile. we are planning to do our 2nd Northern Hemisphere WNBR of the year as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed July 28 as a new alternative ride date. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" This will be our first SF WNBR on July 28th along with WNBRs in Cork, Ireland, Saint Louis and Charleston occuring on the same day. So, you'll have at least one more chance this year to call attention to environmental activism, body freedom, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up!

* '''September 22nd SF Nude-In:''' The 3rd annual [http://www.facebook.com/events/389367984409373 public "Nude In" demonstration] organized by Mitch Hightower will occur on Saturday, September 22 at Jane Warner Plaza in the Castro at noon. Even though this protest is unrelated to the WNBRs, it supports one of the WNBR goals of body freedom. Last year we did do a low-key WNBR-style naked bike ride that ended at last year's Nude In event. We may do the same this year.

JamesAZaun: Added a notice about the public Nude-In happening in September.

Event Summary:

* '''June 9th SF WNBR:''' The June 9th ride was a bit smaller than previous years with approximately 100 to 120 riders together with a large spectator turn out. A lot more spectators were taking pictures with iPads then we have ever seen before. Despite the smaller turn out, there were more women riding completely naked, topless or in underwear which was a nice shift from the nearly all male turn out that we often have. The SF WNBR recieved top billing on the FunCheap events list for that day. Someone said KGO? radio promoted the event. (Can someone verify that?) NBC TV News and the Bay Guardian where there with reporters covering the event and doing interviews. Mitch Hightower of Hightower Productions also covered the ride at several points along the way. And, finally, we ended up doing a lengthy interview about the SF WNBR with a cinematographer doing a French film documentary on San Francisco. We'll provide more details about the ride in the coming days.

* '''July 28th SF WNBR:''' Meanwhile. we are planning to do our 2nd Northern Hemisphere WNBR of the year as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed July 28 as a new alternative ride date. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" This will be our first SF WNBR on July 28th along with WNBRs in Cork, Ireland, Saint Louis and Charleston occuring on the same day. So, you'll have at least one more chance this year to call attention to environmental activism, free-body culture, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up!

* '''September 22nd SF Nude-In:''' The 3rd annual "Nude In" demostration organized by Mitch Hightower will occur on Saturday, September 22 at Jane Warner Plaza in the Castro. Even though this protest is unrelated to the WNBRs, the demonstration is in the same spirit. Last year we did do a low-key WNBR-style naked bike ride that ended at last year's public Nude In event. We may do the same this year.

===Schedule===
*'''to be determined''': Gather. The earlier time allows us to take advantage of the midday warmth during the middle of summer. Undress. Apply sunscreen. Group consensus on route details. Bike checkout & attaching signs / body painting & slogans.
*'''to be determined''': Ride starts (approx). Depending on the mood of the group and the amount of media coverage we are getting the ride may start a bit after noon.
*'''about 4 hours after it starts''' (approx): Main ride finishes.


===Weather===
Late July weather should be quite warm and ideal for a naked bike ride. Check the local weather at the following sites:

* [http://www.sfgate.com/weather/ San Francisco Chronicle]
* [http://weather.sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/US/CA/San_Francisco.html KCBS Radio, San Francisco]

===Getting there===
If you live out of town, please try to use public transportion to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. Check out these websites for details:

* [http://www.bart.gov/ Bay Area Rapid Transit]
* [http://www.caltrain.com/ CalTrain]

===Route===


'''To be determined.''' We had some complaints that the June route was too long and we ended up truncating 10 miles off the planned route. We will definately ''not'' be doing the steep Russian Hill climb and the ''Crookedest Street in the World'' segment but, instead, plan to include a ride down Folsom Street which is very flat.

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops so we can show off our decorated naked bodies and bikes, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

|width="364px" style="padding-left: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders this year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

The June 9th ride was a bit smaller than previous years with approximately 100 to 120 riders together with a large spectator turn out. A lot more spectators were taking pictures with iPads then we have ever seen before. Despite the smaller turn out, there were more women riding completely naked, topless or in underwear which was a nice shift from the nearly all male turn out that we often have. The SF WNBR recieved top billing on the FunCheap events list for that day. Someone said KGO? radio promoted the event. (Can someone verify that?) NBC TV News and the Bay Guardian where there with reporters covering the event and doing interviews. And, finally, we ended up doing a lengthy interview about the SF WNBR with a cinematographer doing a French film documentary on San Francisco. We'll provide more details about the ride in the coming days.
 
Meanwhile. we are planning to do the 2nd Northern Hemisphere WNBR of the year as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed July 28 as a new alternative ride date. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" This will be our first SF WNBR on July 28th. So, you'll have at least one more chance this year to call attention to environmental activism, free-body culture, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up!

===Getting there===
If you live out of town, please try to use public transportion to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. Check out these websites for details:

===Route===


'''To be determined.''' We had some complaints that the June route was too long and we ended up truncating 10 miles off the planned route. We will definately ''not'' be doing the steep Russian Hill climb and the ''Crookedest Street in the World'' segment but, instead, plan to include a ride down Folsom Street which is very flat.

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops so we can show off our decorated naked bodies and bikes, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

|width="364px" style="padding-left: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders this year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

JamesAZaun: Updated for the July 28 ride

{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=US}}

The June 9th ride was a bit smaller than previous years with approximately 100 to 120 riders together with a large spectator turn out. A lot more spectators were taking pictures with iPads then we have ever seen before. Despite the smaller turn out, there were more women riding completely naked, topless or in underwear which was a nice shift from the nearly all male turn out that we often have. The SF WNBR recieved top billing on the FunCheap events list for that day. Someone said KGO? radio promoted the event. (Can someone verify that?) NBC TV News and the Bay Guardian where there with reporters covering the event and doing interviews. And, finally, we ended up doing a lengthy interview about the SF WNBR with a cinematographer doing a French film documentary on San Francisco. We'll provide more details about the ride in the coming days.
 
Meanwhile. we are planning to do the 2nd Northern Hemisphere WNBR of the year as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed July 28 as a new alternative ride date. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" This will be our first SF WNBR on July 28th. So, you'll have at least one more chance this year to call attention to environmental activism, free-body culture, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up!

We finally have the June 2012 route nailed down. We tried to use Google's map routing tool to do this but it was just a disaster. So, we are providing the route in a Flash map viewer along with some JPEG images that you can view online.
__TOC__
==Route Maps==
===2012===
====Northern Hemisphere Route (June)====
{|
|width="50%" style="padding-right: 1em;" valign="top"|
=====Description=====
The 1st leg is mostly on flat areas along the city's waterfront landmark areas like AT&T Park, the Ferry Building, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Aquatic Park and the Marina Green. There are those inevitable San Francisco hills though. A slight uphill wiggle is needed to get past Fort Mason on Bay. There is also a long stretch of mild grade that will be used to ascend to the Lombard Street curves through Polk Street and Larkin Street. It is not necessary to ride down these curves, and if you choose, just walk your bike up to Hyde on the last hill and walk it down the curves. Many hundreds of Critical Mass riders did this in the past May Critical Mass ride.

Want an even tamer option? There will be a split point on Larkin St. where opting out of the Lombard curve will detour you down to the beginning of North Beach in front of Blazing Saddles Bike Rentals. Here the group will gather up again for the remainder of the first leg. After North Beach, there will be a loop around in the South Of Market area (SOMA), a brief run on Market Street to Castro District past Dolores Park to the finish point at the Castro/Market St. corner in the Jane Warner Plaza.

The 1st Leg is about 18 miles long.

If the first leg is enough riding, you are invited to rest up and take a break at the Jane Warner Plaza, which is clothing-optional.

Those who want more riding are urged to continue on for the shorter 2nd leg, which is about 6 miles (40 minutes estimate, but with more hill climbing. Both 1st & 2nd legs take us down to the Castro/Market corner as the finish point. The second leg will take us up the Wiggle to the west end of Haight Street with a hopeful repeat of our successful patronage of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream at the corner of Haight & Ashbury. Then the ride will return past Dolores Park again to rejoin with the other riders for a post-ride gathering in the Jane Warner Plaza. There are local businesses nearby with take-out food options: pizza, Chinese, Italian, deli, cookies, etc...

'''Get ''undressed to the nines'' for the 9th Annual San Francisco World Naked Bike Ride (SF WNBR).''' This is the Big One!!! Each year, our turnout is getting larger and larger riding bare through the streets of the city. Tens of thousands of naked bike riders are protesting the global dependency of our society and economies at the hands of the oil cartels and our nudity expresses our vulnerability to these matters. It also draws attention to our cause. This year we are planning to do two Northern Hemisphere SF WNBRs as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed a choice of two official ride dates: June 9 and July 28. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" So, you'll have at least two more chances this year to call attention to environmental activism, free-body culture, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up! The remainder of this page will concentrate on just the June ride and longest running SF WNBR event.

===Schedule===
*''' 11 AM''': Gather. Same earlier time as last year to take advantage of the midday warmth during the ride. Undress. Apply sunscreen. Group consensus on route details. Bike checkout & attaching signs / body painting & slogans. For June plan to paint your body at home or bring supplies. (Lip stick works in a pinch as long as you like shades of red.)
*'''Noon''': Ride starts (approx). Depending on the mood of the group and the amount of media coverage we are getting the ride may start a bit after noon.
*'''4 pm''' (approx): Main ride finishes.


===Weather===
June weather is somewhat unpredictable but plan for cool, windy weather near the bay. We had 80+ degree weather in June of 2010 but it was in the chilly 50s in 2011. Maybe bring a wind breaker just in case. Once we warm up riding our bikes, being naked is more invigorating then chilly. It's warmer and less windy inland. Check the local weather at the following sites:

* [http://www.sfgate.com/weather/ San Francisco Chronicle]
* [http://weather.sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/US/CA/San_Francisco.html KCBS Radio, San Francisco]

===Getting there===
If you live out of town, please try to use public transportion to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. Check out these websites for details:

* [http://www.bart.gov/ Bay Area Rapid Transit]
* [http://www.caltrain.com/ CalTrain]

===Route===

We finally have a [[San_Francisco:Route|route]] worked out. It's in 2 legs like last year. You can choose to ride one or both legs. The 1st leg covers the tourist areas along the bay and the 2nd leg goes inland through the city to Golden Gate Park.

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops so we can show off our decorated naked bodies and bikes, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

|width="364px" style="padding-left: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders this year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

There is a new city regulation that requires nudists to place something between their bare bottoms and whatever they are sitting on when using public seating. However, we think it should be okay to sit bare-bottomed on the grass or on the concrete walls lining the grass areas. Another new regulation forbids nudity in public eating establishments. That may mean no more ice creams at Ben and Jerry's in the buff like we did on the June 2011 WNBR.

'''Get ''undressed to the nines'' for the 9th Annual San Francisco World Naked Bike Ride (SF WNBR).''' This is the Big One!!!

'''Get ''undressed to the nines'' for the 9th Annual San Francisco World Naked Bike Ride (SF WNBR).''' This is the Big One!!! Each year, our turnout is getting larger and larger riding bare through the streets of the city. Tens of thousands of naked bike riders are protesting the global dependency of our society and economies at the hands of the oil cartels and our nudity expresses our vulnerability to these matters. It also draws attention to our cause. This year we are planning to do two Northern Hemisphere SF WNBRs as our fearless WNBR leader, Conrad, has proposed a choice of two official ride dates: June 9 and July 28. The consensus among the regular SF WNBR riders is: "why not do both?" So, you'll have at least two more chances this year to call attention to environmental activism, free-body culture, bicycling as an alternative to cars and a generally greener way of living. Not-to-mention the joy of receiving an overwhelmingly positive response in the form of laughs and smiles from those that see you in the buff. If nothing else, it's a fun, light-hearted, wacky way to use your colorful, vulnerable body to advocate for or protest against various social and environmental issues. As always, it's free and no r.s.v.p. is required. Just show up! The remainder of this page will concentrate on just the June ride and longest running SF WNBR event.

|width="364px" style="padding-right: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Schedule===
*''' 11 AM''': Gather. Same earlier time as last year to take advantage of the midday warmth during the ride. Undress. Apply sunscreen. Group consensus on route details. Bike checkout & attaching signs / body painting & slogans. For June plan to paint your body at home or bring supplies. (Lip stick works in a pinch as long as you like shades of red.)
*'''Noon''': Ride starts (approx). Depending on the mood of the group and the amount of media coverage we are getting the ride may start a bit after noon.
*'''4 pm''' (approx): Main ride finishes.


===Weather===
June weather is somewhat unpredictable but plan for cool, windy weather near the bay. We had 80+ degree weather in June of 2010 but it was in the chilly 50s in 2011. Maybe bring a wind breaker just in case. Once we warm up riding our bikes, being naked is more invigorating then chilly. It's warmer and less windy inland. Check the local weather at the following sites:

* [http://www.sfgate.com/weather/ San Francisco Chronicle]
* [http://weather.sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/US/CA/San_Francisco.html KCBS Radio, San Francisco]

===Getting there===
If you live out of town, please try to use public transportion to get to the start of the ride. Parking in the area is limited and expensive. Both BART and CalTrain take bicycles. Check out these websites for details:

* [http://www.bart.gov/ Bay Area Rapid Transit]
* [http://www.caltrain.com/ CalTrain]

===Route===

We finally have a [[San_Francisco:Route|route]] worked out. It's in 2 legs like last year. You can choose to ride one or both legs. The 1st leg covers all the touristy areas. It is about 13 miles long in 2 loops back to ride start point. The 2nd leg is also in 2 parts and takes us down to the Castro District and Golden Gate Park. It is about 6 miles to the Castro and another 6 miles for the optional 2nd half. If you need to loop back to the ride start point, add another couple of miles.

We generally tour the more picturesque and populous areas of San Francisco. A significant portion of our regular WNBR riders live in the Castro District so the ride finish ends there.

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops so we can show off our decorated naked bodies and bikes, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

|width="364px" style="padding-left: 1em;" valign="top"|
===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders this year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

There is a new city regulation that requires nudists to place something between their bare bottoms and whatever they are sitting on when using public seating. However, we think it should be okay to sit bare-bottomed on the grass or on the concrete walls lining the grass areas. Another new regulation forbids nudity in public eating establishments. That may mean no more ice creams at Ben and Jerry's in the buff like we did on the June 2011 WNBR.

===Route===

We may do the route a bit differently in 2012 -- more by hitting destinations rather than planning exact street routes. The SF Police let us ride fully nude anywhere we want except within city and federal parks. We generally tour the more picturesque and populous areas of San Francisco which usually, but not always includes: The Ferry Building, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Aquatic Park, The Marina, The Palace of Fine Arts, Union Square and the Civic Center. A significant portion of our regular WNBR riders live in the Castro District so that has become a popular stop, as well.

===Ride Pace and Difficulty===
The ride is at a slow to moderate pace with frequent stops so we can show off our decorated naked bodies and bikes, chant protest slogans and allow the public to take photos. We try to stay on level ground but San Francisco is a hilly place, so some hills are to be expected. If the route takes us up the rare steep hill we walk so no one is left behind.

===Alternative Participation===
Being California, everyone does things differently. We want to offer the broadest possible welcome. First of all, obey all the Laws of Comfort! There's no nudity requirement. Whether you come clothed in a full-length Fun-Fur or just a top hat, come as bare as you dare. Most riders carry some minimal clothing to wear when arriving and departing the group. One bike rental place offered 50% discounts to WNBR riders this year. See the [[San_Francisco:FAQ|FAQ]] for more info.

====Skates====
[[Image:SF_WNBR_2010_06_12_144054_128x180.JPG‎|right|128px|Skater on Lombard]]
Secondly, skaters are welcome. Some skaters have joined us repeatedly! Since skaters tend to expend about 2x as much energy, and tend to roll 50% slower than bikers, skaters may wish to follow an abbreviated but comparable route by linking the level grades in the beginning and ending segments of the ride. One very accomplished naked skater in the 2010 SF WNBR skated up and down the steepest part of Lombard Street, ''The Crookedest Street in the World,'' to everyone's amazement.
 

===Public Nudity in San Francisco===
Liberal San Francisco is accustomed to people going completely naked on public streets in broad daylight. Other city events where open nudity is common are Critical Mass rides, Bay-to-Breakers, Nude Olympics, the Folsom Street Fair and Gay Pride events. Basically, as long as you only go naked in public streets and stay out of any city or federal parks you are good. Going naked outside the main group does increase your chances of being cited for something whether justified or not. There's more safety in numbers.

Inform yourself of the local nudity laws before you bare all in case you have to explain yourself. This [[File:SF_WNBR.Nudity_laws.pdf]] (~100 Kbs) contains the actual codes and regulations (with references) regarding nudity so you can educate anyone who may question your right to go naked in public. Always treat the authorities with courtesy and respect and dress when ordered to do so. (If you need help interpreting the codes, please seek the advice of a lawyer.)

There is a new city regulation that requires nudists to place something between their bare bottoms and whatever they are sitting on when using public seating. However, we think it should be okay to sit bare-bottomed on the grass or on the concrete walls lining the grass areas. Another new regulation forbids nudity in public eating establishments. That may mean no more ice creams at Ben and Jerry's in the buff like we did on the June 2011 WNBR.

==2004==
===First SF World Naked Bike Ride===
*SF rides the first WNBR in 2004 with about 40 mostly male riders. We gathered at noon in the Embarcadero near the North end of Justin Herman Plaza (just North of the huge fountain with all of the cubic shapes) and head out at 1 PM along Market St to the Castro district. Did we ever stop for pictures? I dont think so. Who knew we were so beautiful?

*Then in July we did it again! But this time, in celebration of Nat'l Naked Awareness Day, we were protected by a new group of the WNBR angels.
*A few weeks later we got to teach the SF City District Attorney, and SFPD cop John Velasquez, about respect for the law when the SFPD cited 5 of the July riders group.

==2009 SF WNBR==
*At the 2009 event there were around 120 riders. We head out at 1 PM when the body painters have done their work.
We keep a steady pace heading almost to Golden Gate Park. We stop, rest and then turn around in SF's ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhandle_(San_Francisco) Panhandle]) to return to Embarcadero. We also stop and rest (and pose for photos) on the Polk St. steps of City Hall (there is usually some Saturday event going on in the Civic Center Park).

==2011==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
Just a short report on the March 12th ride. We had a sizable turnout, compared to last March, of 50 or more riders with a nice mix of genders and ages. It was a nice mellow group. Most of the riders went naked including several women despite the cold coastal breezes at times. When riding further from the coastline the weather was actually quite pleasant. This year we road traffic-heavy Van Ness Street, the main route to the Golden Gate Bridge. We received loads of smiles, laughs, thumbs ups, honks and cheers even when the group took up one entire lane of traffic. Most passengers in passing cars had their iPhones out taking pictures. The new route up and over Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world, was much better than last June. Most riders were able to ride to the top without walking. All-and-all a very successful ride.

===Special WNBR BP Oil Spill One-Year-Later Protest on April 20===
The ride went back & forth on Embarcadero past Fisherman's Wharf, & stopping at the Ferry Building around 6:30. It was overcast, but minimal wind and no rain. With the weather uncertain, it was expected to be a small turnout, but a dozen people; riders, spectators and photographers were at the start at 4:00pm and a half dozen bared all in the plaza as KTVU Channel 2 filmed & prepared for a news release later aired on the Ten O'Clock News. See below.
*The Morning Rush, [http://video.aol.com/video/birthday-suit-bikers-morning-express/1554125622 '''Birthday Suit Bikers'''] video April 21, 2011; (originally recorded and reported by KTVU Channel 2 on the 10 PM news, April 20, 2011).
===Special Encore Earth Day SF WNBR on April 23===
Only 6 riders showed up with roughly half being some of the better known Castro urban nudists. However, given that it was a last minute event put together only 4 days earlier, the turn out wasn't too bad. All six of us rode naked despite the cool, cloudy weather. The ride leader wore bright, florescent-green fishnet stockings in honor of Earth Day; another had No BP signs on his bike; and, another wore a silly hat; while the rest remained unadorned. We decided to head for the AT&T/Giants Stadium as the game was about to start (against the Braves).

Sure enough, there were huge crowds with lots of police doing crowd control. Despite our rather small contingent of all male riders, the 30 or so police we rode by allowed us to continue our naked celebration of Earth Day as long as we didn't linger too long in any one place. And, we got lots of cheers, smiles and laughs from the game crowd. We had a few bike problems along the way and lost one rider for awhile. We then headed towards Pier 39 but the cold breezes coming off the bay were too much for our unprotected bodies and we decided to call it quits after 2+ hours of riding.

==2012==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
This year the turn out was equal to the previous year's June rides with 150-200 riders. We've only been doing it 3 years and it's already as big as the main ride. We had many repeat riders coming back to do it again. The gender mix was very good with several females riding in the nude. Probably the best gender balance we've had yet. All and all a very successful event with 4 times the turnout from last year.

===2nd Annual Earth Day SF WNBR===
Likewise, on our 2nd annual Earth Day ride we had 4 times as many riders as last year with ~24 riders. This year we went for a new starting location at a regular SF urban nudist hangout informally called the ''Buff Stop'' at Market and Castro. The area is also at the center of the LGBT community in SF. On the 1st leg we rode up Market to The Ferry building, then to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf and Aquatic Park, then back to the Ferry Building, across Embarcadero and down to 2nd & Townsend, then back to Red's Java House where we stopped and tested the no nudes, no service rule. Some of the group went in and succeeded in getting food (take out). The owner didn't mind and we even had a friendly chat. Then we went on to circle the Rincon Park and then took Howard to 11th then over to Folsom and back to the Ferry Building and up Market to the Earth Day Festival. We managed to get down the center of the arcade and back down the next aisle until a big black security guard told us we had to leave. Then the 5 remaining of us went over to Valencia at 18th and up Castro to the starting point at the Market/Castro corner. Several of the other riders were still there and the last of us left about 5:30.

We keep a steady pace heading almost to Golden Gate Park. We stop, rest and then turn around in SF's ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhandle_(San_Francisco) Panhandle]) to return to Embarcadero. We also stop and rest (and pose for photos) on the Polk St. steps of City Hall (there is usually some Saturday event going on in the Civic Center Park).

==2011==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
Just a short report on the March 12th ride. We had a sizable turnout, compared to last March, of 50 or more riders with a nice mix of genders and ages. It was a nice mellow group. Most of the riders went naked including several women despite the cold coastal breezes at times. When riding further from the coastline the weather was actually quite pleasant. This year we road traffic-heavy Van Ness Street, the main route to the Golden Gate Bridge. We received loads of smiles, laughs, thumbs ups, honks and cheers even when the group took up one entire lane of traffic. Most passengers in passing cars had their iPhones out taking pictures. The new route up and over Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world, was much better than last June. Most riders were able to ride to the top without walking. All-and-all a very successful ride.

===Special WNBR BP Oil Spill One-Year-Later Protest on April 20===
The ride went back & forth on Embarcadero past Fisherman's Wharf, & stopping at the Ferry Building around 6:30. It was overcast, but minimal wind and no rain. With the weather uncertain, it was expected to be a small turnout, but a dozen people; riders, spectators and photographers were at the start at 4:00pm and a half dozen bared all in the plaza as KTVU Channel 2 filmed & prepared for a news release later aired on the Ten O'Clock News. See below.

===Special Encore SF WNBR Earth Day ride on April 23===
Only 6 riders showed up with roughly half being some of the better known Castro urban nudists. However, given that it was a last minute event put together only 4 days earlier, the turn out wasn't too bad. All six of us rode naked despite the cool, cloudy weather. The ride leader wore bright, florescent-green fishnet stockings in honor of Earth Day; another had No BP signs on his bike; and, another wore a silly hat; while the rest remained unadorned. We decided to head for the AT&T/Giants Stadium as the game was about to start (against the Braves).

Sure enough, there were huge crowds with lots of police doing crowd control. Despite our rather small contingent of all male riders, the 30 or so police we rode by allowed us to continue our naked celebration of Earth Day as long as we didn't linger too long in any one place. And, we got lots of cheers, smiles and laughs from the game crowd. We had a few bike problems along the way and lost one rider for awhile. We then headed towards Pier 39 but the cold breezes coming off the bay were too much for our unprotected bodies and we decided to call it quits after 2+ hours of riding.

===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
This year the turn out was equal to the previous year's June rides with 150-200 riders. We've only been doing it 3 years and it's already as big as the main ride. We had many repeat riders coming back to do it again. The gender mix was very good with several females riding in the nude. Probably the best gender balance we've had yet. All and all a very successful event with 4 times the turnout from last year.
===SF WNBR Earth Day ride on April 22===
Likewise, on our 2nd annual Earth Day ride we had 4 times as many riders as last year with ~24 riders. This year we went for a new starting location at a regular SF urban nudist hangout informally called the ''Buff Stop'' at Market and Castro. The area is also at the center of the LGBT community in SF. On the 1st leg we rode up Market to The Ferry building, then to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf and Aquatic Park, then back to the Ferry Building, across Embarcadero and down to 2nd & Townsend, then back to Red's Java House where we took a stop and tested the no nudes, no service rule. Some of the group went in and succeeded in getting food (take out). The owner didn't mind and even had a friendly chat with us. Then we went to circle the Rincon Park and then took Howard to 11th then over to Folsom and back to the Ferry Building and up Market to the Earth Day Festival. We managed to get down the center of the arcade and back down the next aisle until a big black security guard told us we had to leave. Then the 5 remaining of us went over to Valencia, 18th and up Castro to the starting point at the Market/Castro corner. Several of the other riders were still there and the last of us left about 5:30.

*The Morning Rush, [http://video.aol.com/video/birthday-suit-bikers-morning-express/1554125622 '''Birthday Suit Bikers'''] video April 21, 2011; (originally recorded and reported by KTVU Channel 2 on the 10 PM news, April 20, 2011).
===Special Encore SF WNBR Earth Day ride on April 23===
Only 6 riders showed up with roughly half being some of the better known Castro urban nudists. However, given that it was a last minute event put together only 4 days earlier, the turn out wasn't too bad. All six of us rode naked despite the cool, cloudy weather. The ride leader wore bright, florescent-green fishnet stockings in honor of Earth Day; another had No BP signs on his bike; and, another wore a silly hat; while the rest remained unadorned. We decided to head for the AT&T/Giants Stadium as the game was about to start (against the Braves).

Sure enough, there were huge crowds with lots of police doing crowd control. Despite our rather small contingent of all male riders, the 30 or so police we rode by allowed us to continue our naked celebration of Earth Day as long as we didn't linger too long in any one place. And, we got lots of cheers, smiles and laughs from the game crowd. We had a few bike problems along the way and lost one rider for awhile. We then headed towards Pier 39 but the cold breezes coming off the bay were too much for our unprotected bodies and we decided to call it quits after 2+ hours of riding.

==2012==
===Southern Hemisphere SF WNBR===
This year the turn out was equal to the previous year's June rides with 150-200 riders. We've only been doing it 3 years and it's already as big as the main ride. We had many repeat riders coming back to do it again. The gender mix was very good with several females riding in the nude. Probably the best gender balance we've had yet. All and all a very successful event with 4 times the turnout from last year.
===SF WNBR Earth Day ride on April 22===
Likewise, on our 2nd annual Earth Day ride we had 4 times as many riders as last year with ~24 riders. This year we went for a new starting location at a regular SF urban nudist hangout informally called the ''Buff Stop'' at Market and Castro. The area is also at the center of the LGBT community in SF. On the 1st leg we rode up Market to The Ferry building, then to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf and Aquatic Park, then back to the Ferry Building, across Embarcadero and down to 2nd & Townsend, then back to Red's Java House where we took a stop and tested the no nudes, no service rule. Some of the group went in and succeeded in getting food (take out). The owner didn't mind and even had a friendly chat with us. Then we went to circle the Rincon Park and then took Howard to 11th then over to Folsom and back to the Ferry Building and up Market to the Earth Day Festival. We managed to get down the center of the arcade and back down the next aisle until a big black security guard told us we had to leave. Then the 5 remaining of us went over to Valencia, 18th and up Castro to the starting point at the Market/Castro corner. Several of the other riders were still there and the last of us left about 5:30.
