Welcome!

Every year, in cities around the world, people ride bikes naked to celebrate cycling and the human body.

The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against car culture.


Most upcoming rides will take place around the following dates:


  • This wiki supercedes the previous official World Naked Bike Ride site.
  • On this site you'll find a List of rides around the world. Please sign up to one of these, or start your own! See the sections below for more information.
  • Ride coordinators can also edit pages using this site's democratic wiki system (using the 'edit' tab at the top of each page and beside each headline).


Note for journalists: Press and media are advised to check the List of rides for local press contacts. Some locations have their own press enquiry pages (eg: UK press enquiries).
