{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=US}}

Welcome to the Saint Louis [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] page!

{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 11 June 2011|Time=9 pm departure, 7 pm gathering|Location=S. Grand Parking lot/community space behind Commerce Bank, Hartford and Arkansas <br>}}

We STRONGLY encourage all riders to ride their bikes to the event and/or take public transit! Meeting place is off #70 Grand and #30 Arsenal. Even though we are meeting in a parking lot, that does NOT mean you need to or should drive there! Thank you!

We will also be taking video testimonials of riders and why they've chosen to participate in WNBR, why it's important to raise awareness of oil dependency and cyclist rights, and why you love to ride your bike!

== Objectives ==

* To promote cyclist awareness
* To protest oil dependency
* To promote comfortable body image
* To bring together cycling community

== Ride information ==

Participants are encouraged to go "as bare as they dare," though nudity is by no means necessary. You're welcome to come fully clothed, covered in body paint, in your underwear, in a crazy costume... last year, we had a pretty good mix of the above.

In addition, our ride is not exclusive to bicyclists. Rollerblades and other body-powered modes of transportation are also welcome.

Further questions can be addressed at the WNBR [[Frequently asked questions|FAQ section]].

==History==

The first Saint Louis [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] took place on August 2, 2008, and was a complete success. There were maybe 300 participants estimated, not including the hundreds if not thousands of spectating supporters throughout the bike ride. There were also zero arrests, despite warnings from the police beforehand. Though there were only a dozen or so completly nude cyclists, the overwhelming majority of the bike ride was in their underwear or a bit less. The police were incredibly cooperative, helping out at busy intersections and larger streets, as the organizers revealed the route to the police beforehand.

We started out by biking in the dark of Tower Grove Park before emerging at Arsenal, where there were many stationed supporting spectators cheering us on. We looped back through South Grand, a normally busy street that we were able to block off for over a mile. We biked towards fireworks after the Cardinals game. Despite strong encouragement otherwise, we biked onwards past the Busch Stadium, by the Arch, down Market street, and onward through Washington Ave, a popular night spot. Here we swarmed in the masses around confused cars in a single lane street. We ended up flying down a hill on Lindell and then turned on Vandeventer, where we were able to conclude the ride by picking up some cyclists, passing by some gas stations and bars and a supporting crowd at the Atomic Cowboy, our final stop point.

Some highlights of the pre and post parties: At the body painting gathering, one reporter ended up stripping to his underwear while filming. Also, at the Atomic Cowboy, all the band members ended up in their underwear by the end of their set.

Throughout the ride, we received maybe one negative comment and thousands of positive ones, from families included. We took over multiple city blocks at a time. We had some rollerbladers, and we had a camel. For the first Saint Louis World Naked Bike Ride ever, where the majority of the participants had never heard of the World Naked Bike Ride and many had never participated in a mass bike ride before, we got an amazing turnout and loads of positive feedback. Everyone was excited for next year's World Naked Bike Ride.

Thanks to everyone who participated... keep on biking, keep on being naked, and see you next summer!
