If you look at the [[History|history]] section of this site you will notice different groups have different approaches to their rides regarding body adornment. As an example, in Seattle, [[Wikipedia:Painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade|The Painted Solstice Cyclists]] ride during the [[Wikipedia:Summer Solstice Parade & Pageant|Summer Solstice Parade & Pageant]] that prides itself on its display of body painting creativity. In fact some even have dropped the "naked" in their name to call them the [http://solsticecyclist.org Painted Cyclists]. Despite their [[wikipedia:streaking|streaker]] roots, a few among them even look down on participants who are just naked. We don't do that, our event is not strictly artistic, however, we strongly encourage people to express themselves and be colourful. We paint our bodies with political messages or beautiful designs to complement our forms. We pass out flyers informing the public about our message. We use portable public address systems or raise our voices and chant in unison.

We realize there will always be the occasional grinch that just can't share the road with cyclists or stand the sight of a natural human being. Fortunately for us, their numbers are decreasing and ours are increasing.

WNBR is on! Its time to pimp out your human-powered mutant cycle/skating vehicle!

The World Naked Bike Ride dress code is "Bare As You Dare"... How bare is that? How dare is that? Its all up to you, you decide what you are comfortable with. Be creative and colourful in expressing yourself! Body painting, customising your bike, and other creative expression is strongly encouraged!

We paint our bodies and decorate our bikes with political messages or beautiful designs to complement our forms. We pass out flyers informing the public about our message. We use portable public address systems or raise our voices and chant in unison. Getting people to laugh and smile is a great way to connect and share ideas in a non-threatening way. We realize there will always be the occasional grinch that just can't share the road with cyclists or stand the sight of a natural human being. Fortunately for us, their numbers are decreasing and ours are increasing.

Decorate your helmet!

Helmets can sometimes look pretty drab, but that is no excuse not to wear one. Get creative and customize your helmet! Some even offer creative helmet covers [1]
