==Please consider why we are riding.==
The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human-powered transport (the vast majority on bicycles, but some on skateboards and inline skates), to "deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world.
The dress code motto is "bare as you dare". Full or partial nudity is encouraged, but not mandatory. There is no mandate to cover intimate parts; this is a distinguishing feature of the WNBR against other cycling events. 

Creative expression is also encouraged to generate a fun and immersive atmosphere during the ride, capture the attention and imagination of the public and media, and make the experience more personalized and fulfilling for the riders. Body art, such as body painting, are common forms of creative expression, as well as costumes, art bikes, portable sound reinforcement systems (such as public address systems, bullhorns and boomboxes) and musical instruments or other types of noisemakers.
Pre- and post-ride parties for WNBRs have become events unto themselves, often featuring musical bands, DJs, body painting, temporary structures/installation art, political tabling, and catering. In addition to simply being able to ride clothes-free on community streets, some rides have established precedent by having body-painting parties, often involving numbers of naked riders and artists in high-visibility municipal parks. 

This distinctive form of Critical Mass, occasionally called Critical Ass in a WNBR context, is often described or categorised as a form of political protest, street theatre, party-on-wheels, streaking, public nudity and clothing-optional recreation, and thus attracts a wide range of participants.
The World Naked Bike Ride, which started more than 12 years ago, is an unusual environmental protest against “car culture,” the world’s dependence on oil and other non-renewable energy sources, and in defense of cyclists’ rights. 

The city-based rides have been multiplying each year with thousands of nude participants and evolving into events that feature artists, musicians and supporters, along with increasing public and media attention. 

The number of World Naked Bike rides and riders globally varies from year to year. Currently, 70 cities in 20 countries are affiliated.

The ride is also about having fun. 
In order to promote a good turnout, participants must feel comfortable. especially women. 
Any one being disrespectful will not be welcome and be asked to leave. 

Foot note: My partner is a talented face and body painter, she will be happy to give tips on painting.
We also recommend using correct body paint. "Derivan" available at most art shops.

{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=Australia}}

{{Ride location next ride|Date=Sunday 13 March 2016|Time= 1:30pm|Location=The Rails Hotel at the old Railway Station, Byron Bay}}

==Ride Details==
*Date: Sun 13 Mar 2016
*Time: 1:30pm
*Assembly location: The Rails Hotel at the old Railway Station, Byron Bay

The aim of the ride is to draw attention to the over use of non renewal able energies. and over consumption. 
To promote other forms of transport. more bicycle use. 
People may like to promote their own issues, e.g Anti Coal seam Gas. 
We ride naked to demonstrate the cycle riders vulnerability on the roads. 
This is a bare as you dare event. some may not feel comfortable being completely naked. 
The ride is also about having fun. 
In order to promote a good turnout, participants must feel comfortable. especially women. 
Any one being disrespectful will not be welcome and be asked to leave. 

Foot note: My partner is a talented face and body painter, she will be happy to give tips on painting.
We also recommend using correct body paint. "Derivan" available at most art shops.
Some paint will be made available, but we ask that participants bring their own.

===NUSA Environment Collective - Ride a Bike Campaign===
The [http://www.nusa.org.au/ Newcastle University Students' Association], [http://www.nusa.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=115 Enviro Collective] is the student environmental group on The University of Newcastle campus. In mid 2009 the [http://www.nusa.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=115 Enviro Collective] began the Ride a Bike Campaign to encourage bike use over car use among the Uni community. Riding a bike has minimal environmental impact, does not produce green house gasses or toxic emissions, does not produce noise pollution, is far cheaper than driving a car and it is easier to find somewhere to park your bike. Parking on campus for a year costs more than the price of many new bikes and decent second hand models. 

===Newcastle University Bike Users Group===
Bike Love Corral has attended the Orientation Week at the University of Newcastle and helped with the stall for Newcastle University Bike Users' Group.

Students, staff, alumni and riders who visit campus all have an interest in the success of this group to lobby for better bike facilities like bike paths, bike racks, lockers and showers on campus plus better cycleways that link campus to the rest of Newcastle. Feel free to join if you have an interest in cycling for utility, advancing and promoting cycling and cycling facilities, cycling for recreation, fitness, sport, environment, community, protest or just plain fun in or in connection with The University of Newcastle.

Members of NUBUG are encouraged to network and promote bike activities that interest them and their peers. Maybe that could involve a social ride with a picnic, or a sweaty fast sports ride, or a mountain bike bush ride - its up to them and maybe you if you want to join. Membership costs only $2. Membership enquiries can be made by emailing [mailto:nubug.org@gmail.com NUBUG] or visit the Bike Love Corral at NUBUG or one of the NUBUG meetings.

If you want to join the [http://boron.ocoth.net/mailman/listinfo/bikeusersgroup_nusa.org.au mailing list] everyone is welcome. Members are subscribed to the mailing list by NUBUB moderators shortly after joining.

The [http://www.nusa.org.au/ Newcastle University Students' Association], [http://www.nusa.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=115 Enviro Collective] is the student environmental group on The University of Newcastle campus. In mid 2009 the [http://www.nusa.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=115 Enviro Collective] began the Ride a Bike Campaign to encourage bike use over car use among the Uni community. Riding a bike has minimal environmental impact, does not produce green house gasses or toxic emissions, does not produce noise pollution, is far cheaper than driving a car and it is easier to find somewhere to park your bike. Parking on campus for a year costs more than the price of many new bikes and decent second hand models.

'''World Naked Bike Ride – Nudecastle'''

{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 10 March 2012 (tentative date)|Time= to be decided|Location=to be decided}}

===Ride details===
Newcastle will ride on Saturday the 10th March 2012. Assembly location and time is to be decided. You must arrived CLOTHED and stay clothed at the assembly location. We will not strip at the assembly location. Organisers will lead participating riders to a secret private venue for stripping and body painting. Clothing is optional on the ride so you can wear as much or as little as you want. Go as BARE AS YOU DARE!

It is usual practice that visitors from out-of-town can be helped with the loan of a bike on the day. Body painting is optional (though strongly encouraged) so you can write slogans and protest messages that tell the public what the ride is about. Peace signs, hearts and flowers are always in theme. This year organisers are allowing plenty of time to do elaborate full body murals. If you do not participate in the body painting you will have to wait patiently for everyone else to complete their body painting. By the time the body painting is completed, then we hit the streets of Newcastle in all our decorated glory. The ride is fantastic fun. The public really enjoy the event and line the streets cheering. We ride as a group and try not to get straggly. The route we take is NOT PUBLICISED in advance. Organisers will lead the way along the route. There will be a party after the ride at a venue to be determined which will feature music and a selection of food and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. 

The official Southern Hemisphere World Naked Bike Ride date is Saturday the 10th of March 2012. [[Sydney]] will have a ride on, or about that date. Keen riders could attend [[Newcastle]] on the and [[Sydney]] if the dates do not coincide.

===Planning===
If you would like to volunteer to help with publicity, media, party organisation or other roles that help make the ride a success, please come along to the Planning Meetings. Please come along with your ideas. 

The Planning Meeting Dinners are organised from time to time and usually take place in a friendly pub. 

You can also participate in planning decisions by joining the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WNBR_Newcastle/ WNBR Newcastle] Yahoo! Group. Less formal discussion and planning also happens at monthly [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Newcastle#Critical_Mass Newcastle Critical Mass] bike rides or as advised.

===In months before the ride===
It may seem like things are quiet between World Naked Bike Rides but the Newcastle organisers are working now to make the upcoming WNBR Nudecastle enjoyable for everyone. In the lead-up to the WNBR there are many other community grassroots events in Newcastle that are of interest to Naturists, Biketivists, Pacifists and Environmentalists. Some events are featured on this page below. Have a look at the links to organisations that endorse the WNBR in Newcastle (see [[Newcastle#Endorsement]] below) and [[Australia]] and you will find something that will inspire your passion for expressing yourself for the benefit of the planet. All the organisations that endorse WNBR are friendly though our closest ally is Critical Mass (see [[Newcastle#Critical_Mass]] below). WNBR Nudecastle encourages everyone interested in participating in WNBR to also participate in Critical Mass.

===Get a bike===

===Getting email updates before the ride===
If you want to have emails sent to you with details of pre-ride events, reminders of the WNBR Nudecastle time and start location, or discuss any apects of the upcoming ride: you need to join the discussion group (see [[Newcastle#Discussion_group.2Fs]] below). If you have not got a Yahoo! account, you can set one up for free in about 5 minutes. You can use your existing email account or get a [https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.intl=au&.src=ym&.done=http%3a//mail.yahoo.com Yahoo! email account for free]. You can set the email account up using a nickname if you want to as well. The management of Yahoo! have classified the discussion group as "adults only" but only because they are puritanical prudes who do not know the difference between the human body and pornography. WNBR is nothing to do with pornography so do not worry.

===Privacy===
You do not have to register, pay money, sign anything or give your personal details to anyone. There are suggestions on the international pages of WNBR websites that say you should complete the on-line registration process. This is '''NOT''' mandatory for the WNBR Nudecastle. Vetted media people will attend the WNBR Nudecastle 2010 to photograph and video the event so if you have any concerns about this you should consider painting your face, wearing a novel mask or big dark sunglasses to preserve your anonymity.

===Legality===
THE RIDE IS LEGAL! Non-sexual public nudity is legal in NSW. 5000 people stripped naked outside the Sydney Opera House on the 2nd of March 2010 to be [http://www.smh.com.au/news/entertainment/arts/thousands-strip-naked-on-opera-house-steps/2010/03/01/1267291832800.html photographed by the artist Spencer Tunick] with no arrests. The ride is a totally NON-SEXUAL event and this is strongly enforced by the organisers. The laws that are relevant to public nudity in New South Wales are applicable througout the state. For discussion of this topic, please refer to the separate page about [[New South Wales Laws]]. No one has ever been arrested on a World Naked Bike Ride in Australia.

===Women’s Support Woman===
Christabel has volunteered for the role of Women’s Support Woman for WNBR Nudecastle. The Women’s Support Woman (WSW) role is to offer special support to women who have any concerns about their participation or potential participation in the event. The WSW will be attending the whole of the event and will be available to help all women participants. The WSW will be making a special effort to ensure that female participants feel comfortable while being a mentor. If you wish to assist in this role or would like to ask any relevant questions, please approach Christabel before the ride.

==Media==
Media enquiries for [[Newcastle]]: please contact [mailto:wnbrnudecastle@yahoo.com.au Marte Kinder] the WNBR Newcastle Organiser. 

Please think ahead if you want to have a media presence on the day of the WNBR Nudecastle and contact Marte well ahead of time because your involvement will need vetting.

Marte Kinder: /* Get a bike */update for new location and hours

{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=Australia}}

''For rides in Newcastle, [[UK]], please refer to [[Newcastle upon Tyne]]''

'''World Naked Bike Ride – Nudecastle'''

{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 10 March 2012 (tentative date)|Time= to be decided|Location=to be decided}}

===Ride details===
Newcastle will ride on Saturday the 10th March 2012. Assembly location and time is to be decided. You must arrived CLOTHED and stay clothed at the assembly location. We will not strip at the assembly location. Organisers will lead participating riders to a secret private venue for stripping and body painting. Clothing is optional on the ride so you can wear as much or as little as you want. Go as BARE AS YOU DARE!

It is usual practice that visitors from out-of-town can be helped with the loan of a bike on the day. Body painting is optional (though strongly encouraged) so you can write slogans and protest messages that tell the public what the ride is about. Peace signs, hearts and flowers are always in theme. This year organisers are allowing plenty of time to do elaborate full body murals. If you do not participate in the body painting you will have to wait patiently for everyone else to complete their body painting. By the time the body painting is completed, then we hit the streets of Newcastle in all our decorated glory. The ride is fantastic fun. The public really enjoy the event and line the streets cheering. We ride as a group and try not to get straggly. The route we take is NOT PUBLICISED in advance. Organisers will lead the way along the route. There will be a party after the ride at a venue to be determined which will feature music and a selection of food and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. 

The official Southern Hemisphere World Naked Bike Ride date is Saturday the 10th of March 2012. [[Sydney]] will have a ride on, or about that date. Keen riders could attend [[Newcastle]] on the and [[Sydney]] if the dates do not coincide.

===Planning===
If you would like to volunteer to help with publicity, media, party organisation or other roles that help make the ride a success, please come along to the Planning Meetings. Please come along with your ideas. 

The Planning Meeting Dinners are organised from time to time and usually take place in a friendly pub. 

You can also participate in planning decisions by joining the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WNBR_Newcastle/ WNBR Newcastle] Yahoo! Group. Less formal discussion and planning also happens at monthly [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Newcastle#Critical_Mass Newcastle Critical Mass] bike rides or as advised.

===In months before the ride===
It may seem like things are quiet between World Naked Bike Rides but the Newcastle organisers are working now to make the upcoming WNBR Nudecastle enjoyable for everyone. In the lead-up to the WNBR there are many other community grassroots events in Newcastle that are of interest to Naturists, Biketivists, Pacifists and Environmentalists. Some events are featured on this page below. Have a look at the links to organisations that endorse the WNBR in Newcastle (see [[Newcastle#Endorsement]] below) and [[Australia]] and you will find something that will inspire your passion for expressing yourself for the benefit of the planet. All the organisations that endorse WNBR are friendly though our closest ally is Critical Mass (see [[Newcastle#Critical_Mass]] below). WNBR Nudecastle encourages everyone interested in participating in WNBR to also participate in Critical Mass.

===Get a bike===

===Getting email updates before the ride===
If you want to have emails sent to you with details of pre-ride events, reminders of the WNBR Nudecastle time and start location, or discuss any apects of the upcoming ride: you need to join the discussion group (see [[Newcastle#Discussion_group.2Fs]] below). If you have not got a Yahoo! account, you can set one up for free in about 5 minutes. You can use your existing email account or get a [https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.intl=au&.src=ym&.done=http%3a//mail.yahoo.com Yahoo! email account for free]. You can set the email account up using a nickname if you want to as well. The management of Yahoo! have classified the discussion group as "adults only" but only because they are puritanical prudes who do not know the difference between the human body and pornography. WNBR is nothing to do with pornography so do not worry.

===Privacy===
You do not have to register, pay money, sign anything or give your personal details to anyone. There are suggestions on the international pages of WNBR websites that say you should complete the on-line registration process. This is '''NOT''' mandatory for the WNBR Nudecastle. Vetted media people will attend the WNBR Nudecastle 2010 to photograph and video the event so if you have any concerns about this you should consider painting your face, wearing a novel mask or big dark sunglasses to preserve your anonymity.

===Legality===
THE RIDE IS LEGAL! Non-sexual public nudity is legal in NSW. 5000 people stripped naked outside the Sydney Opera House on the 2nd of March 2010 to be [http://www.smh.com.au/news/entertainment/arts/thousands-strip-naked-on-opera-house-steps/2010/03/01/1267291832800.html photographed by the artist Spencer Tunick] with no arrests. The ride is a totally NON-SEXUAL event and this is strongly enforced by the organisers. The laws that are relevant to public nudity in New South Wales are applicable througout the state. For discussion of this topic, please refer to the separate page about [[New South Wales Laws]]. No one has ever been arrested on a World Naked Bike Ride in Australia.

===Women’s Support Woman===
Christabel has volunteered for the role of Women’s Support Woman for WNBR Nudecastle. The Women’s Support Woman (WSW) role is to offer special support to women who have any concerns about their participation or potential participation in the event. The WSW will be attending the whole of the event and will be available to help all women participants. The WSW will be making a special effort to ensure that female participants feel comfortable while being a mentor. If you wish to assist in this role or would like to ask any relevant questions, please approach Christabel before the ride.

==Media==
Media enquiries for [[Newcastle]]: please contact [mailto:wnbrnudecastle@yahoo.com.au Marte Kinder] the WNBR Newcastle Organiser. 

Please think ahead if you want to have a media presence on the day of the WNBR Nudecastle and contact Marte well ahead of time because your involvement will need vetting.

Marte Kinder: /* Why not join in? */

{{Template:Country sub-page breadcrumb|Country=Australia}}

== Introduction ==
'''World Naked Bike Ride Australia''' 
Peacefully expose the vulnerability of cyclists, humanity and nature in the face of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy. 

Australian towns and cities will participate in the next [[:Category:Southern hemisphere ride locations|southern hemisphere leg]] of the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] in March. The official [[:Category:Southern hemisphere ride locations|southern hemisphere]] ride date is the second Saturday of March every year. 

The tentative locations are:

* [[Adelaide]], SA
* [[Alice Springs]], NT
* [[Brisbane]], QLD
* [[Broome]], WA
* [[Byron Bay]], NSW
* [[Cairns]], QLD
* [[Canberra]], ACT
* [[Daylesford]], VIC
* [[Hobart]], TAS
* [[Melbourne]], VIC
* [[Melrose]], SA
* [[Newcastle]], NSW
* [[Nimbin]], NSW
* [[Perth]], WA
* [[Sydney]], NSW
* [[Tweed Heads]], NSW

Check website for details: http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Australia or follow the links to the towns cities webpage on this wiki website.

Other cities across the world will also host rides as part of the southern hemisphere leg of WNBR's global movement, including [[Lima]] (Peru), [[Golden Bay]] and [[Middlemarch]](New Zealand), [[Cape Town]] (South Africa], [[San Francisco]] (United States of America), [[Sao Paulo]] and [[Brasília]] (Brazil).

The [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] is an annual clothing optional protest ride for Peace, Sustainability and the rights of cyclists to use the road safely.

The ride is not a race and goes at an easy recreational pace. An element of competition between cyclists is present only in respect of how bizarrely they can decorate their bodies with paint, slogans and bits of costume. Many riders paint their bodies with peace signs, hearts and flowers.

The dress code for the ride is “Go as bare as you dare”! Nudity is not compulsory. It is not a ride promoting overtly sexual behaviour in public.

It is a very hippie and green event.

== Many problems beset the world: ==

There is a need for people to hold a '''body positive image'''. A lot of people have hang ups about the human body and can not distinguish between non-sexual nudity and pornography. People are living creatures and part of nature, not superior or detached from it. Shame or disgust of human bodies, it all their colours, shapes and sizes is a form of prejudice.

Burning '''fossil fuels''' (coal, natural gas, and mineral oil) causes '''environmental damage''' including climate change, air pollution, acid rain and water pollution. The destruction of our natural environment threatens all living things with extinction. We face the carbon-induced nemesis of nature.

Without using '''nuclear fuels''' (uranium, plutonium) nuclear accidents, nuclear weapons, depleted uranium tipped weapons and nuclear contamination would not exist. Exposure to nuclear radiation causes cancer, genetic mutations and death. Nuclear material remains radioactive virtually forever.

'''Health Problems''' including asthma and respiratory illnesses occur partly because of the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels. Obesity, diabetes and lack of exercise come from our sedentary car-addicted lifestyles.

We see '''violence''' everyday because of [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=File:The_Fraudulent_War.pdf the fraudulent wars fought over oil], road rage and deaths and injuries to pedestrians and [http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/publications/2006/pdf/death_cyclists_road.pdf cyclists from motorised vehicles]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_motor_vehicle_collisions Worldwide it was estimated that 1.2 million people were killed and 50 million more were injured in motor vehicle collisions in 2004]. We need a peaceful and gentler world which includes our roads.

For a future to exist for tomorrow's generations, we must stop exploiting mineral energy, stop polluting the Earth, stop fighting and killing in the name of consumerist wealth accumulation and learn to love and respect all life, and to continue to spread this message.

== The World Naked Bike Ride Mission Statements ==
===Snappy version:===
A clothed or clothes free protest: riding with a message of peace & sustainability for planet earth.
===Short version:===
Peacefully expose the vulnerability of cyclists, humanity and nature in the face of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy..

===Long version:===
We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians plus all the negative effects of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy.

== World Naked Bike Ride History ==
Manifestación Ciclonudista Mundial began in Spain in 2001 and the WNBR grew from that protest which takes the form of a naked bike ride. Since then, the WNBR has spread to over 100 cites in about 30 countries with the participation of thousands of riders. Because of differing climates, the WNBR is conducted in two legs. The Southern hemisphere WNBR occurs on the second Saturday of March and has included Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and cities in Florida (USA) where the weather is comfortable at that time of year. Eugene in Oregan, USA and Brighton in the UK have braved the winter weather to ride on the Southern hemisphere date. The Northern hemisphere WNBR is much larger, both in terms of number of rides and participants with some rides like Portland, Oregan alone getting more than 5000 riders in 2010. WNBR is most popular in Europe and North America.

== WNBR Australian History ==
There is a story that [http://australia.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.html Australia] participated in the first WNBR on 12 June 2004. Six naked bike riders (4 men and two women), led by Luke and Kathy, are supposed to have rode from [[Tweed Heads]] to Bilambil through the countryside. There are no known photographs of the ride and Luke and Kathy have lost contact with the rest of the WNBR. Did it really happen?

In 2005 Marte Kinder organised the first WNBR in Australia that not only went through a city, but was photographed and witnessed. Marte founded the movement in Australia and has since built the organisation in terms of riders and rides around Australia by recruiting participants and Organisers in various cities and towns.

Some rides like [[Canberra]] and [[Melbourne]] regularly attract over 100 riders.

Famous Quotes on Nakedness, Beliefs and Protest
Famous Quotes from:
http://www.bodyfreedom.org/guide/quotes_slogans.html

Includes:
Historical Figures: Jesus Christ, John Lennon, Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi, Henry David Thoreau, Michelangelo, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Virginia Wolf, Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Contemporary Figures: Elle MacPherson, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, P.J. Harvey, Madonna.

"Nudity is undignified and an error of taste."
- Adolf Hitler

“The main hangup in the world today is hypocrisy and insecurity. If people can’t face up to the fact of other people being naked or smoking pot, or whatever they want to do, then we’re never going to get anywhere. People have got to become aware that it’s none of their business and that being nude is not obscene. Being ourselves is what’s important. If everyone practiced being themselves instead of pretending to be what they aren’t, there would be peace.”
- John Lennon

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our problem."
-Howard Zinn, "Failure To Quit"

"His disciples asked, 'When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?' Jesus answered, 'When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the Living One, and you will not be afraid.'"
- From the Gospel of Thomas

People are living creatures and part of nature, not superior or detached from it. Shame or disgust of human bodies, it all their colours, shapes and sizes is a form of prejudice.

Burning '''fossil fuels''' (coal, natural gas, and mineral oil) causes '''environmental damage''' including climate change, air pollution, acid rain and water pollution. The destruction of our natural environment threatens all living things with extinction. We face the carbon-induced nemesis of nature.

Without using '''nuclear fuels''' (uranium, plutonium) nuclear accidents, nuclear weapons, depleted uranium tipped weapons and nuclear contamination would not exist. Exposure to nuclear radiation causes cancer, genetic mutations and death. Nuclear material remains radioactive virtually forever.

'''Health Problems''' including asthma and respiratory illnesses occur partly because of the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels. Obesity, diabetes and lack of exercise come from our sedentary car-addicted lifestyles.

We see '''violence''' everyday because of [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=File:The_Fraudulent_War.pdf the fraudulent wars fought over oil], road rage and deaths and injuries to pedestrians and [http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/publications/2006/pdf/death_cyclists_road.pdf cyclists from motorised vehicles]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_motor_vehicle_collisions Worldwide it was estimated that 1.2 million people were killed and 50 million more were injured in motor vehicle collisions in 2004]. We need a peaceful and gentler world which includes our roads.

For a future to exist for tomorrow's generations, we must stop exploiting mineral energy, stop polluting the Earth, stop fighting and killing in the name of consumerist wealth accumulation and learn to love and respect all life, and to continue to spread this message.

== The World Naked Bike Ride Mission Statements ==
===Snappy version:===
A clothed or clothes free protest: riding with a message of peace & sustainability for planet earth.
===Short version:===
Peacefully expose the vulnerability of cyclists, humanity and nature in the face of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy..

===Long version:===
We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians plus all the negative effects of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy.

== World Naked Bike Ride History ==
Manifestación Ciclonudista Mundial began in Spain in 2001 and the WNBR grew from that protest which takes the form of a naked bike ride. Since then, the WNBR has spread to over 100 cites in about 30 countries with the participation of thousands of riders. Because of differing climates, the WNBR is conducted in two legs. The Southern hemisphere WNBR occurs on the second Saturday of March and has included Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and cities in Florida (USA) where the weather is comfortable at that time of year. Eugene in Oregan, USA and Brighton in the UK have braved the winter weather to ride on the Southern hemisphere date. The Northern hemisphere WNBR is much larger, both in terms of number of rides and participants with some rides like Portland, Oregan alone getting more than 5000 riders in 2010. WNBR is most popular in Europe and North America.

== WNBR Australian History ==
There is a story that [http://australia.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.html Australia] participated in the first WNBR on 12 June 2004. Six naked bike riders (4 men and two women), led by Luke and Kathy, are supposed to have rode from [[Tweed Heads]] to Bilambil through the countryside. There are no known photographs of the ride and Luke and Kathy have lost contact with the rest of the WNBR. Did it really happen?

In 2005 Marte Kinder organised the first WNBR in Australia that not only went through a city, but was photographed and witnessed. Marte founded the movement in Australia and has since built the organisation in terms of riders and rides around Australia by recruiting participants and Organisers in various cities and towns.

Some rides like [[Canberra]] and [[Melbourne]] regularly attract over 100 riders.

== Why not join in? ==

Everyone is very welcome to participate or help organise!
I have not seen any photos of past events where riders are not grinning and laughing their heads off. WNBR is terrific fun! Why not have a go?

To find out more, go to
http://australia.worldnakedbikeride.org/
If you do not have a computer or internet connection you could use an internet café or public libraries’ computers.

If people in [http://australia.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.html Australia] are interested in attending a WNBR event in [http://australia.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.html Australia], please have a look at the [http://australia.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.html website] first. Also, if you live anywhere where there is no WNBR planned, you are welcome to organise one yourself and you will get supportive and friendly help from the Australian Co-ordinator. It is pretty easy to do and a very rewarding experience. The WNBR Worldwide site http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ has reference pages with tips for people to use when organising. It will happen if you help make it happen!

== What does it cost? ==

Nothing. There are no fees involved at all. There are no forms to fill in. There is no registration and we do not want to collect people’s personal details.

WNBR is loads of fun and a consciousness expanding, giggle festival.
You could help save the world or at least die laughing while trying.

Famous Quotes from:
http://www.bodyfreedom.org/guide/quotes_slogans.html

"Nudity is undignified and an error of taste."
- Adolf Hitler

“The main hangup in the world today is hypocrisy and insecurity. If people can’t face up to the fact of other people being naked or smoking pot, or whatever they want to do, then we’re never going to get anywhere. People have got to become aware that it’s none of their business and that being nude is not obscene. Being ourselves is what’s important. If everyone practiced being themselves instead of pretending to be what they aren’t, there would be peace.”
- John Lennon

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our problem."
-Howard Zinn, "Failure To Quit"

"His disciples asked, 'When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?' Jesus answered, 'When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the Living One, and you will not be afraid.'"
- From the Gospel of Thomas

----

At least 8 [http://australia.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.html Australian] towns and cities will participate in the next [[:Category:Southern hemisphere ride locations|southern hemisphere leg]] of the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] in March 2011. The official [[:Category:Southern hemisphere ride locations|southern hemisphere]] ride date is Saturday the 12th of March 2011. 
The dates and locations are:

*Saturday the 5th of March 2011: [[Nimbin]].
*Sunday the 6th of March 2011: [[Melbourne]].
*Saturday the 12th of March 2011: [[Adelaide]], [[Brisbane]], [[Daylesford]] and [[Newcastle]].
*Saturday the 19th of March 2011: [[Melrose]] and [[Sydney]].
*Sunday the 20th of March 2010: [[Canberra]].

[[Daylesford]] will have its first WNBR in 2011.

Check website for details: http://australia.worldnakedbikeride.org/ or follow the links to the towns cities webpage on this wiki website.

Other cities across the world will also host rides as part of the southern hemisphere leg of WNBR's global movement, including [[Lima]] (Peru), [[Golden Bay]] and [[Middlemarch]](New Zealand), [[Cape Town]] (South Africa], [[San Francisco]] (United States of America), [[Sao Paulo]] and [[Brasília]] (Brazil).

The [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] is an annual clothing optional protest ride for Peace, Sustainability and the rights of cyclists to use the road safely.

The ride is not a race and goes at an easy recreational pace. An element of competition between cyclists is present only in respect of how bizarrely they can decorate their bodies with paint, slogans and bits of costume. Many riders paint their bodies with peace signs, hearts and flowers.

The dress code for the ride is “Go as bare as you dare”! Nudity is not compulsory. It is not a ride promoting overtly sexual behaviour in public.

It is a very hippie and green event.

== Many problems beset the world: ==

There is a need for people to hold a '''body positive image'''. A lot of people have hang ups about the human body and can not distinguish between non-sexual nudity and pornography. People are living creatures and part of nature, not superior or detached from it. Shame or disgust of human bodies, it all their colours, shapes and sizes is a form of prejudice.

Burning '''fossil fuels''' (coal, natural gas, and mineral oil) causes '''environmental damage''' including climate change, air pollution, acid rain and water pollution. The destruction of our natural environment threatens all living things with extinction. We face the carbon-induced nemesis of nature.

Without using '''nuclear fuels''' (uranium, plutonium) nuclear accidents, nuclear weapons, depleted uranium tipped weapons and nuclear contamination would not exist. Exposure to nuclear radiation causes cancer, genetic mutations and death. Nuclear material remains radioactive virtually forever.

'''Health Problems''' including asthma and respiratory illnesses occur partly because of the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels. Obesity, diabetes and lack of exercise come from our sedentary car-addicted lifestyles.

We see '''violence''' everyday because of [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=File:The_Fraudulent_War.pdf the fraudulent wars fought over oil], road rage and deaths and injuries to pedestrians and [http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/publications/2006/pdf/death_cyclists_road.pdf cyclists from motorised vehicles]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_motor_vehicle_collisions Worldwide it was estimated that 1.2 million people were killed and 50 million more were injured in motor vehicle collisions in 2004]. We need a peaceful and gentler world which includes our roads.

For a future to exist for tomorrow's generations, we must stop exploiting mineral energy, stop polluting the Earth, stop fighting and killing in the name of consumerist wealth accumulation and learn to love and respect all life, and to continue to spread this message.

It is pretty easy to do and a very rewarding experience. The WNBR Worldwide site http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ has reference pages with tips for people to use when organising. It will happen if you help make it happen!

== What does it cost? ==

Nothing. There are no fees involved at all. There are no forms to fill in. There is no registration and we do not want to collect people’s personal details.

WNBR is loads of fun and a consciousness expanding, giggle festival.
You could help save the world or at least die laughing while trying.

"Nudity is undignified and an error of taste."
- Adolf Hitler

“The main hangup in the world today is hypocrisy and insecurity. If people can’t face up to the fact of other people being naked or smoking pot, or whatever they want to do, then we’re never going to get anywhere. People have got to become aware that it’s none of their business and that being nude is not obscene. Being ourselves is what’s important. If everyone practiced being themselves instead of pretending to be what they aren’t, there would be peace.”
- John Lennon

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our problem."
-Howard Zinn, "Failure To Quit"

"His disciples asked, 'When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?' Jesus answered, 'When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the Living One, and you will not be afraid.'"
- From the Gospel of Thomas

Organizing a ride in Australia

==A message from the WNBR Australia Coordinator==

===Thank you===
WNBR Australia welcomes interest by everyone who would like to organise a World Naked Bike Ride event. Thanks for taking an interest.

Becoming an Organiser for the WNBR in Australia is something you need to consider. It is a fun and rewarding experience but requires some dedication and work. Everyone who wants to help promote WNBR is always welcome. You could print some flyers for the coming event and give them out among your friends etc.
http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Australia#Publicity:_flyers.2C_posters.2C_images_etc
or invite your friends to join the relevant facebook group.

As WNBR Australian Coordinator I would like that people who volunteer to be Organisers are going to make a fair contribution and understand what is expected. It is easy and fun to organise a ride. If you have participated in a WNBR before it is a good start. There is an introduction to the role.

==There are some rules and requirements==
Also see the [[Organising a ride]] page.
* I would like you to convince yourself that you are committed to the task and have some organising skills. Have you done any organising for a community group or organised an event before? Apart from guidance from the advice on this and the other official website, other organisers (past and present) can support and mentor you if you proceed. Please agree to give your cooperation including timely communication if you seek the guidance or support of one of these mentors.
* WNBR Organisers succeed when they have the ability to gain the support of like minded groups and people. The ability to find helpers in your role is important. Are you active in any related community groups?
* WNBR Organisers need to live in or close to the city where they are planning their ride. Do you live in or near the city or town where you would like to organise a ride?
* WNBR is a free grassroots event that never demands money from the participants or seeks endorsement or sponsorship from commercial entities. It is not a fundraiser. Local rides may raise money through the sale of T-Shirts, (calendars, stubbie holders and the like) and/or ask for strictly voluntary donations to offset costs associated with promotion (like photocopy and printing costs for posters and flyers). Some rides have the support of local, grassroots organisations. WNBR is organised by volunteers.
* WNBR events are held in public places (not nudist resorts or private property). Ideally, the WNBR goes through the main street of town as part of the route. Spectators are not charged to watch either.
* WNBR is not an invitation only event. The assembly place for the ride, the time and date are publicised widely on all promotional materials and websites.
* WNBR Organisers must make a sincere effort to publicise the ride in their city.
* Decide the time, date and assembly location for their event. Do this early and publicise these details on all possible media.
* WNBR Organisers must be able to ride a bike well and be regular bike riders. An exception to this rule occurs in circumstances where rides such as [[Canberra]] have a tradition of many participants skating on roller blades and roller skates and it would not invalidate the candidacy of potential Organiser if they were a skilled skater.
* WNBR has a policy of non-discrimination and everyone is welcome to participate.
* WNBR is non-sexual and overt displays of a sexual nature are forbidden.
* WNBR is a protest event with the following Mission Statement:
'''"We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians plus all the negative effects of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy."''' 
Which is pretty wide and allows individuals to express their particular passion with signs, flags, chants, slogans and body paint on the ride. Please notice that ''positive body image'' and ''having fun being naked'' or other weak excuses for exhibitionism are not included in the protest themes.
* Riders are encouraged to body paint themselves but this is not compulsory. Organisers can provide the materials for this or allow busking body and face painters to do it and accept donations to offset costs.
* The event is clothing optional rather than nakedness being compulsory. Individual participants are left to decide how much or how little clothing they wear. No one is pressured to wear more or less than they want to.
* WNBR Australia and International does not indemnify participants in the event against accidents or arrest. Organisers should be aware of the laws that could affect the rides within the legal jurisdiction of the ride, communicate this information to participants plus plan strategies to protect the health and welfare of riders.
* Only human powered wheeled transport is allowed (bikes, tandems, roller blades, roller skates, scooters, unicycles and the like) as the event protests against oil and powered vehicles. Some rides allow joggers to join (it is a protest for the rights of pedestrians too) but it is rather impractical because they are the slowest.
* Organisers are encouraged to get photos of the event and hold a post ride party.
* Organisers are responsible for producing a poster and flyer for their local event, updating the page on this wiki for their town and the list of rides in particular the time, date and assembly location for their event.
* Deadlines apply to the initiation of rides in locations that have not held a ride in previous years or have lost their Organisers from the previous year(s) (through retirement etc.). Coordinators in the [[United Kingdom]] apply a similar rule. The reason for this requirement is that a new or re-starting ride has a very poor chance of being a success with less than 6 weeks before the ride date to be properly organised and promoted. Typically the media start giving the WNBR publicity in the last couple of weeks before the event and although this encourages many people to ask about the opportunity to have a WNBR in their new location, in practice it does not work but they are more than welcome to volunteer to organise for the following year.

So, can you consider the rules and requirements please. You need to convince yourself and your peers that you are willing and capable.

If you are convinced you want to become an Organiser, I can give you some moderator powers over the WNBR Yahoo! group and/or Facebook group (appropiate to your city/town) so that you could approve messages that are posted to the group etc. The Yahoo! group and Facebook groups will be responsible for 5% or less of the participants that attend a WNBR. Any idea that the group is the key to the fortunes of a successful ride is a recipe for dissaster.

Thanks again for your interest.

Yours truly naked in two wheeled protest,

===Note===
WNBR Australia has a structure and is an organisation. The role of WNBR Australia Coordinator is an elected position among current Australian City/Town Organisers. Initially, the position was created by appointment by International Coordinators. Despite practices that may apply in other countries or internationaly or statements contained on this wiki including on the [[Organizing a ride]] page, the selection and induction of Australian Organisers has applied from a very early stage of the events history. Please ignore the section on the [[Organizing a ride]] page about registering the event via http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ (the international WNBR website) as this process does not apply to Australia. Also, remedial action has been taken by WNBR when Organisers have been found not meeting the requirements of holding a ride from an early stage. Australian City/Town Organisers are not self-appointed or appointed on the alleged authority of overseas person(s) regardless of Organisational title. Where it becomes obvious that an Australian City/Town Organiser is not meeting the requirements on this page and/or the [[Organising a ride]] page, WNBR Australia will review the situation, attempt to assist that City/Town Organiser to meet requirements, and may make a group decision to discontinue appointment of the Organiser(s). Organisers need to continue to hold the confidence and support of their city/town riders and helpers and use democratic and consultative methods to make decisions that affect their rides.

==History==
Australia has participated in the World Naked Bike Ride since 2004. Check [[:Category:Australia|local ride location pages]] for further information.

==Future==
Organisers are planning rides for several cities in Australia. All the cities with media contacts have future rides planned. Where rides have not occurred or not occurred in the last 12 months, it is often the case that there is no one who has volunteered to organise the next ride in that location. People interested in participating or organising a WNBR in Australia should join the discussion group appropriate to their location (or the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WNBR_Australia/ WNBR Australia] Yahoo! group if none of the existing discussion groups are appropriate), try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. It will happen if you help make it happen! Please refer to the [[Organizing a ride in Australia]] page for more information about starting or restarting a ride.

==Publicity: flyers, posters, images etc==
Posters and flyers from previous WNBRs in Australia can be viewed in the [[Australia Publicity Archive]].

==History==
Australia has participated in the World Naked Bike Ride since 2004. Check [[:Category:Australia|local ride location pages]] for further information.

==Future==
Organisers are planning rides for several cities in Australia. All the cities with media contacts have future rides planned. Where rides have not occurred or not occurred in the last 12 months, it is often the case that there is no one who has volunteered to organise the next ride in that location. People interested in participating or organising a WNBR in Australia should join the discussion group appropriate to their location (or the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WNBR_Australia/ WNBR Australia] Yahoo! group if none of the existing discussion groups are appropriate), try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. It will happen if you help make it happen! Please refer to the [[Organizing a ride in Australia]] page for more information about starting or restarting a ride.

==Publicity: flyers, posters, images etc==
Posters and flyers from previous WNBRs in Australia can be viewed in the [[Australia Publicity Archive]].
