==Inspirational quotes==

:'''“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple Computers]], from 'Think Different' advertising campaign''

:'''“Everyone knew it was impossible, except for one idiot who went ahead and did it”''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Marcel Pagnol|Marcel Pagnol]], film maker, 1895-1974''

:'''"Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours"''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Richard Bach|Richard Bach]], from Illusions''

:'''"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."''' – ''[[Wikipedia:William Hutchinson Murray|William Hutchinson Murray]]''

:'''"Don't just have a nice day, Create Yourself a Great Day!"''' –Anonymous

:'''"A child who has never been allowed to see his parents and brothers and sisters naked sees nudity as something shocking"''' – ''Dr Helga Fleischhauer-Hardt, 'Show Me' (New York: St Martin's Press, 1975)''

The disadvantages involved in pulling lots of black sticky slime out of the ground where it had been safely hidden out of harm's way, turning it into tar to cover the land with, smoke to fill the air with and pouring the rest into the sea, all seemed to outweigh the advantages of being able to get more quickly from one place to another -- particularly when the place you arrived at has probably become, as a result of this, very similar to the place you had left, i.e., covered with tar, full of smoke, and short of fish."''' -- – ''[[Wikipedia:Douglas Adams|Douglas Adams]]'', The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

:'''"... to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Howard Zinn|Howard Zinn]]"

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.

Quotes by WNBR participants, quotes to inspire riders etc...

==Quotes from World Naked Bike Ride organizers and participants==

:'''"...inject the hearts of our neighbourhoods with the reality of our beautiful bodies which have developed over millions of years into their current perfect beingness. Join hundreds of naked compatriots in a free, non-sexual, fun bike ride."''' – ''Aurora, WNBR Chicago''

:'''"WNBR is the most exhilerating cycling experience since taking off your training wheels."''' – ''Daniel Johnson, WNBR Seattle''

:'''"Be the unabashed vehicle of the revolution! Bare skin beats painted metal! The shame is on oil-dependency, not on us!"''' - ''Daniel Johnson, WNBR Seattle''

:'''"The Auckland World Naked Bike Ride’s purpose was to draw attention to oil dependency and the negative social and environmental impacts of a car dominated culture. Last year 250 Aucklanders were killed by vehicle emissions, and 94 people died in car accidents on the roads of Auckland alone."''' – ''Simon Oosterman, WNBR Auckland (NZ) organizer, union worker and climate justice campaigner''

:'''"Our message to the world is one of simplification, human harmony and love. For a future to exist for tomorrows generations, we have to stop wasting the life blood energy of the Earth, stop fighting and killing in the name of consumerist wealth accumulation and learn to love and respect all life on this planet."''' – ''Conrad Schmidt, founder of The Work Less Party and Artists for Peace and WNBR and organizer for WNBR Vancouver, BC''

==Inspirational quotes==

:'''“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple Computers]], from 'Think Different' advertising campaign''

:'''“Everyone knew it was impossible, except for one idiot who went ahead and did it”''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Marcel Pagnol|Marcel Pagnol]], film maker, 1895-1974''

:'''"Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours"''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Richard Bach|Richard Bach]], from Illusions''

:'''"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."''' – ''[[Wikipedia:William Hutchinson Murray|William Hutchinson Murray]]''

==Body-positive quotes==

:'''"Laws against public nudity stem from people's unease with the human body. It makes people uneasy that others are comfortable enough to be naked in public, when they are not."''' – ''Katie Mann, from article in Going Natural, Vol 17, No 2''

:'''"A child who has never been allowed to see his parents and brothers and sisters naked sees nudity as something shocking"''' – ''Dr Helga Fleischhauer-Hardt, 'Show Me' (New York: St Martin's Press, 1975)''

:'''"Being natural and matter-of-fact about nudity prevents your children from developing an attitude of shame or disgust about the human body. If parents are very secretive about their bodies and go to great lengths to prevent their children from ever seeing a buttock or breast, children will wonder what is so unusual, and even alarming, about human nudity"''' – ''Dr Lee Salk, psychiatrist''

:'''"The visual appearance of the human body is our human identity and we should not be forced to fear or hide our identity"''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Vincent Bethell|Vincent Bethell]]''

:'''"Everybody should run through the streets [naked] at least once. If you can do that, chances are you can have a lot of fun in other areas of your life."''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], singer''

:'''"It is an interesting question how far people would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes."''' – ''[[Wikipedia:Henry David Thoreau|Henry David Thoreau]]''

==Quotes for cycling==

:'''"Here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil."''' – ''President George W Bush, State of the Union, 31 January 2006''

:'''"Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the human race."''' – ''[[Wikipedia:H. G. Wells|H G Wells]]''

:'''"On Earth the problem had been with cars. The disadvantages involved in pulling lots of black sticky slime out of the ground where it had been safely hidden out of harm's way, turning it into tar to cover the land with, smoke to fill the air with and pouring the rest into the sea, all seemed to outweigh the advantages of being able to get more quickly from one place to another -- particularly when the place you arrived at has probably become, as a result of this, very similar to the place you had left, i.e., covered with tar, full of smoke, and short of fish."''' -- – ''[[Wikipedia:Douglas Adams|Douglas Adams]]'', The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

:'''"People are looking for places where they're not constantly being confronted with cars. It's just like non-smokers seeking smoke-free space."''' – ''[[Wikipedia:de:Franziska Eichstaedt-Bohlig|Franziska Eichstaedt-Bohlig]]'', German Green Party

:'''"Watch any TV show, listen to any radio program, look through any magazine or newspaper and you will come across ads showing how cars will make you cool, sexy, popular, respected, at one with nature, safe, etc. The car and oil industries spend billions of dollars each year to promote a benign image of driving, but the function of all this is to assure profits and manipulate consumers, and nothing more."''' – ''Go By Bicycle''

Talk:2007 ride dates

2007-02-18T18:12:21Z

Skycladmodel: /* cheapest phentermine, Best Offers From The Top Online Pharmacies */

==June 9th again?==
Why is June 9th suggested again for the WNBR 2007 ride date? The [[2007 ride dates]] page does not give any reason for this decision whatsoever. Is it only because London has decided to go forward first with that date? Why hold ourselves back from chosing a warm date? The only reason I can think of for doing it in June is that there are fewer conflicts with more Summer events, and Spain doesn't want to do it between late June and September because school is out. But I think those are weak reasons for the rest of us.

===Pacific Northwest===
:''See also [[Seattle#2007_date_scheduling]]''

A lot of us in the Pacific Northwest and around the world think June, especially early June, is too cold and unpredictable weather wise to organize annual naked bike ride events. Seattle made the mistake of going along with 10 June 2006 for our 3rd ride because London was pushing for it in 2005. We got rained out in 2005 and we had to cancel the second half of our event. Our riders had a good time and were very brave to face the wind and rain, but they made it very clear they did not want to ride again in early June. We will not make the same mistake of following a bad example weather-wise again. We know we are not at all alone on this. Seattle votes for warm months.

[[Seattle]], as an example, has our bodypainting event outside, not in a protected indoor venue. We are getting sick of shivering outside for 3-4 hours while we are getting painted before the ride. Secondly, we enjoy going to the Seattle Center Fountain, but this year it was just too cold to really get into it and you could totally tell. We also like to invade public beaches and go wading in. Very few of us felt it was warm enough for this in early June.

We are pursuing a July date, regardless of what a small minority of cities want. Thanks for your consideration. [[User:D|D]] 21:22, 4 Jul 2006 (PDT) Seattle WNBR team

==Is solidarity dependent on doing the same thing on the same day?==
I'm not really convinced that having WNBR on the same day really benefits many cities in a huge way, except perhaps the smaller start-up cities that can say, "well, its a global event you know and we are just doing our part." One can ride in solidarity on shared principles and goals without regard to time and date I think. That being said, I still think if we moved the ride date to July or August we could have more people participate in the Northern hemisphere.

Many of the larger rides seem like standalone events. Whether the rides happen in what day in June or July doesn't seem to matter. I think what does matter more is are the riders having a good time, are locals supportive of the ride, and is the message of WNBR getting out. I think that should be the bottom line. [[User:D|D]] 21:38, 4 Jul 2006 (PDT)

:I think it's ''very important'' that the rides take place on the same day. It gives the event a truly worldwide feel. After all it the ''World'' Naked Bike Ride! --[[User:Nsayers|Nsayers]] 02:30, 6 Jul 2006 (PDT)

::Well, I guess maybe we could get rid of those pesky Southern Hemisphere people to start off with, after all, they joined the movement late, and who needs a Burning Man event anyway, don't they all ride around naked anyway?
::If we had a winning date to begin with that worked for everybody that would be one thing, but we don't. Some keep picking June, for no reason that they are bothering themselves to identify. [[User:D|D]] 17:00, 6 Jul 2006 (PDT)

:::Heh. Don't get me wrong: I think it's great (and entirely logical) that there's a separate Southern Hemisphere date. We're even thinking of doing a solidarity ride next March in England. It also makes sense for individual locations (eg: Burning Man) to choose a different date if the set one's not convenient. I just think having two set dates a year helps keep the event international. Of course, why it has to be Saturdays in March and June is another question. It might be better for media coverage if it was on a Sunday, and warmer in England if it was in July/August. However, we've started advertising 9 June 2007 now, so perhaps we should stick with it... --[[User:Nsayers|Nsayers]] 00:20, 7 Jul 2006 (PDT)

==Nude Recreation Week==
July 9-15, 2007 is Nude Recreation Week in North America, and yet there are no known large-scale public events during that time. WNBR could easily fit this bill.
