RIDE DETAILS

The ride meets at Sunset Beach (near the corner of Beach Avenue and Bute Street) at 12 Noon, with the ride itself starting at 2:00pm. The ride and all ride activities are free and are on rain or shine!

The event is a protest against car culture and oil spills and pipelines. It is also a celebration of creativity, individuality, and the human powered machine.

Dress code: Bare as you dare (see #RIDE TIPS below).

Rules for the Vancouver ride

• Nudity is not forced on anybody. You decide what you are comfortable with.
• Respect the diversity of many different body types, and refrain from ogling.
• Realize that although we are naked, many people consider that private parts are still private. Don't bring them up as a topic of conversation with somebody you do not know.
• This is a "Leave No Trace" event. Don't litter and take everything out that you bring in. Including your clothes. ;)

RIDE TIPS

• Prepare for riding rain or shine!
• If sunny, put on sunscreen!
• You do not have to be fully naked to join the ride.
• Wear shoes!
• We often start the ride with some clothing on and then stop away from the crowds to get bare!
• Keep your clothes with you -- you never know when you may need them (like... after the ride).
• Decorate your bike! Come with signs and funky hats! Cover your bike seat with fun fur.
• Ride safely and stay together as a group.
• Tell your friends! Spread the word!
