June 9th again?
Why is June 9th suggested again for the WNBR 2007 ride date? The 2007 ride dates page does not give any reason for this decision whatsoever. Is it only because London has decided to go forward first with that date? A lot of us in the Pacific Northwest and around the world think June, especially early June, is too cold and unpredictable weather wise to organize annual naked bike ride events. Seattle made the mistake of goig along with 10 June 2006 for our 3rd ride because London was pushing for it in 2005, we will not make the same mistake of following a bad example weather-wise again. We know we are not at all alone on this. Seattle votes for warm months. We are pursuing a July date, regardless of what a small minority of cities want. Thanks for your consideration.

Is solidarity dependent on doing the same thing on the same day?
I'm not really convinced that having WNBR on the same day really benefits many cities in a huge way, except perhaps the smaller startup cities that can say, "well, its a global event you know and we are just doing our part."
Many of the larger cities seem like standalone events. Whether the rides happen in what day in June or July doesn't seem to matter. I think what does matter more is are the riders having a good time, are locals supportive of the ride, and is the message of WNBR getting out. I think that should be the bottom line.
