Report back from nighttime ride
Brief – please edit. Just returned home (3.30am). Ride was phenomenal! Weather was not too bad (dry around 60). Dance party before got us warmed up. Participants flooded out. I heard counts over 500 people! Most naked or almost naked, wearing paint and costumes. We rode for about 2.5 hours and made several loops around downtown etc. Club dwellers and street folk cheered all along the way. We got back to the party and danced in various states of undress until late. – Xor 10:36, 11 Jun 2006
Portland is on board with two rides on 10 June 2006!
Dance party at Disjecta (230 E Burnside) starting at 9pm. The nighttime ride meets at 11:59pm on top of the south-east side of the Burnside Bridge ( right next to the Dance Party ) and will ride downtown. Then we will return to the party for more dancing.
Sorry no one under that age of 18 can be admitted to the party ... we will be carding at the door so please bring your ID. The party is free to get into.
A secure clothing check will be provided at the Dance Party so that you do not have to worry about your belongings while you are on the ride. As always the ride is 'as naked as you want to be'. Also a body paint area will be set up. We will have members of the bike community circulating through out the Dance Party letting people know that it is *NOT COOL* to take photos with cell phones or have any video recording equipment in the party.
Indoor bike parking will also be provided. So make sure you bring your lock.
If you want to volunteer for the party or ride please check out:
You can also download fliers from this site to give to anyone.
One last thing. If you want to being some food to the party that would be really great.
If you want to volunteer or donate for the nighttime ride, please contact [email protected].
There is also a daytime ride earlier on the 10th as well, for people not keen to freeze their kibbles off, in the midnight air. It can be thought of as an extra ride for those that think once is never enough. The daytime ride will meet at 2.30pm at the Joan of Arc Statue on Glisan and 39th.
History
If there is one thing that Portlanders love more than their bikes ... it is their 1st amendment. Home to the most strip clubs per capita in the US, there is no wonder why we are home to the largest world naked bike ride in North America.
Last years party and ride maxed out the generous location donated by Free Geek. We had about 170 riders in 2005.
In 2004 the organization City Repair hosted the event and had a healthy turnout.
