===Survival basics===

===Organizers===
−
*'''Water''' for the ride (we don't want you to die). Expect to ride about 3 hrs or so including at least two moderate hills. (Some riders may just want to go on the 10-15 ride from Gas Works to the Fountain).
+
The best way to '''contact''' organizer <s>[[User:D|Daniel Johnson]] and the WNBR Seattle team is via telephone: (206) 452-3820 (Skype number - please call first) or (206) 369 - 2661 (mobile phone/voice mail - please only call if you need to speak with Daniel immediately)</s>
−
*'''Sunscreen''' (several people reported burns last year, facial/waterproof sunscreen is recommended if you want some on the face without being blinded by it dripping into your eyes). Put on the sunscreen FIRST then allow it to dry a bit before putting on sunscreen.
 
−
*A ''''"minimum"''' to wear if necessary (please bring it with you on the ride)
 
−
*Any '''snack''' you may want for the ride.
 
−
*Your '''mobile phone''' if you are lucky enough to have one.
 
−
===Wheels===
 
−
*Your '''mutant cycle/skating vehicle''' (be sure to check it and ride it to make sure it is safe and problem-free before the ride). Be prepared to deal with a flat tire. Ride will probably not stop to help fix your bike (another reason to bring a "minimum" with you to cover up). You never know if your bicycle will fail and we can't throw you and your bike on our backs and bring you with us.
 
−
*A '''bike lock''' will come in handy, you might want to bike a lockup buddy to lock your bike up to if there is no rack available at any given stop.
 
−
*Your '''helmet'''
 
−
===Good Karma===
 
−
*'''$5-$40+ "love donation"''' to help pay for our permits, promotional expenses and sound system rental equipment. Help prevent the event coordinators and artists from going broke! They need your help!
 
−
*'''Invite others!''' Your significant other, friends, neighbors, co-workers, rabbi, and your entire family to help paint you (Our bodypainters will not be able to get everybody, find a buddy at the ride to help paint you if you need help).
 
−
*'''Your creativity, a non-antagonistic, fun-loving attitude and common sense''' when it comes to '''respecting peoples' personal space''' and '''ride safety'''.

==History==

<div style="font-size:xx-small">
−
Seattle was the first [[United States]] city to organize a ride. [[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 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. The Seattle ride was inspired by the painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade, the AAW/AFP/WLP Rides in [[Vancouver]] BC and [http://www.ciclonudista.net/ Manifestación Ciclonudista] in [[Spain]].

There were four naked bike rides in Seattle this year. 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 Body Pride Ride (BPR, read "beeper"), at the Seattle Pride March on 26 June (see [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beeper/ Beeper] Yahoo! group). So, with WNBR, that was three separate naked rides in three weeks!

[http://www.leg.wa.gov/RCW/index.cfm?section=9A.88.010&fuseaction=section RCW 9A.88.010] on Indecent exposure states "(1) A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm. The act of breastfeeding or expressing breast milk is not indecent exposure.

Welcome to Seattle's World Naked Bike Ride wiki pages!

Every year, in cities around the world, thousands ride bikes naked to celebrate human-powered transport and the power and individuality of the human body. WNBR demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and offers a simple, cheap, healthy + fun alternative to car culture. We hope you can join us!

First time? Visit the main page of the WNBR International wiki website which has the most info on our international event.

The Archive provides a way for people to share Facebook and google photo albums, YouTube and news article links. The more emails I get the more richer experience the Archive will be for everyone.
