 Seattle was the second city to organize a WNBR event, after Vancouver BC, and the first [[United States]] city to organize a ride. Seattle was also the first WNBR-affiliated city to organize a day ride, the first city to work with city officials to make the ride a success, the first city to stage its body painting parties in public parks and the first city to have Yoga in the Park stretching sessions in public parks by certified yoga instructors. [[Daniel Johnson]] met with [[Conrad Schmidt]] after both participated in an [http://www.artistsagainstwar.ca/ Artists Against War]/[http://www.artistsforpeace.ca/ Artists for Peace]/[http://www.worklessparty.org/ Work Less Party] (AAW/AFP/WLP) Go As Bare as You Dare ride (which Conrad organized) in [[Vancouver]], BC. Conrad expressed interest in creating an international naked cycling event modeled after the rides in [[Vancouver]] and Daniel committed to having one in Seattle.

 In 2005 there were four naked bike rides in Seattle. Three of those occurred in three consecutive saturdays in June alone! The other two Seattle naked cycling events included the painted naked cyclists of the Fremont Solstice Parade (18 June, featuring about 160 riders!), and the premiere of the First Annual [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Pride_Ride Body Pride Ride] (June 26, a dozen cyclists) cycling around Capitol Hill and then as entry #186 in the Pride March. So, with WNBR, that was three separate naked rides in three weeks! In addition to ongoing monthly [http://scrimass.org Critical Mass] rides, 2005 marked the First Annual [http://IndependenceFromOil.org Independence From Oil Day] Parade (3 July) and the emergence of the [http://ghostcycle.org Ghostcycle] project, raising awareness of cyclists on the streets with evocative installations around the city.
-The [[Seattle 10 June 2006|2006 WNBR Seattle event]] saw some significant improvements over previous years, despite holding steading to number of riders for three years straight.  We spent just under 6 hours on the road and in the parks, approximately 27+ miles were covered! A new record for naked bike rides in Seattle. We were able to use many of the bathrooms in the park system this year and that really made things go so much smoother. We had about seven bathroom breaks! Our body painting area easily doubled, we had plenty of room for painting this year. We went up Pike street, a first. Much more fun than going up South Jackson in the International District and the hill really wasn't as bad as some were thinking. We stopped at Cal Anderson Park and took a shot at the water feature. The yoga session at Madronna Park with Mekosun was awesome and a first for Seattle! We stopped at Stan Sayres Park and hung out there for a while. Beautiful views. The ride to and around Seward Park was great. Views were awesome. We had an incredible presence at the Group Health Bicycle days event there. We completely took over a beach there and went in to the water and chilled out. We gathered to sing happy birthday to some family having a picnic at Madronna after visiting the park for a second time on the way back. We went through the Arboretum and over the Montlake Bridge, firsts for naked rides. And finally, after two years, we met up with UW Commencement graduates!

 In 2007 we introduced our first night ride, and found out that there were already others streaking Green Lake Park. We also moved our main event to Fairview Park from our usual start location of Gas Works Park. We also changed the main ride date from 9 June 2007, when most other cities were riding, to 14 July 2007. Our riders appreciated the better weather. If we would have stayed at 9 June 2007 our event would have been rained out for the second year in a row! Our main ride route was more or less the same as 2006 with changes in the beginning. We also had our first three arrests, which occurred at Seward Park. We also had our first after-ride party immediately following the ride. This was a great time to celebrate and network and brainstorm ideas for next year.

 The idea to start off the ride in the Fremont and Wallingford districts of Seattle was because these neighborhoods have been supportive of painted/naked cycling in the past. This is due to the continuing success and growing creativity of the [[wikipedia:Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade|Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade]] who have been a highlight of the Summer Solstice Parade held annually in [[Wikipedia:Fremont|Fremont]]. The Painted Cyclists participate in the artistic spirit and non-political atmosphere of the Summer Solstice Parade in Fremont, held on the Saturday closest to the Summer Solstice (exactly one week after WNBR). The painted cyclists are world famous — no one has outdone them in terms of the numbers of uniquely-made full-body bodypainting and kustom bike jobs!
