| + | ====Winter 2011 Ride Details==== | ||
| + | Here are the details for the | ||
| + | Winter WonderLand Melbourne Naked Bike Ride 2011 (!) | ||
| − | This | + | '''This Friday 10 Jun 2011''',<br> |
| + | '''Meet 7pm at the Lord Newry Hotel'''- <br> | ||
| + | '''543 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy North''' | ||
| − | + | (if you plan to eat dinner at the pub, please get there earlier) | |
| − | + | Leaving pub at 7:30pm, for a nearby outdoor undressing location.<br> | |
| + | After undressing, we'll go for a short, easy ride.<br> | ||
| + | After the naked part, we'll get dressed at another outdoor location, then zip over to a nearby ending pub to warm up, socialise, eat, etc<br> | ||
| − | + | My expectation is that this will be a mellow ride, mostly about riding as 'bare as you dare' in solidarity with a handful of other chilly, hardy souls. We can save the big statements for the warmer, bigger, and better planned March ride. | |
| + | |||
| + | That being said, feel free to be creative in your attire... Body paint, slogans, silly clothing, etc. Just bear in mind that we will be undressing outside in the -cold-, so we'll want to get ready pretty quickly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It will be dark, so...<br> | ||
| + | Do bring lights.<br> | ||
| + | Do bring reflective accessories. <br> | ||
| + | Do be visible :)<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | You will probably want to have a backpack or pannier to carry your clothes during the ride. There won't be anywhere to store stuff during the ride and we aren't going back to the start point. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As always, the dress code is 'As bare as you dare'. ;)<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Peace, hope to see you there | ||

| + | ====Winter 2011 Ride report==== | ||
| + | 17 riders turned up for Friday's (10 June 11) naked ride. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We started at the Lord Newry hotel, got dressed in Edinburgh Gardens, went south on Brunswick St, across to and then up Lygon St. Finished at the Dan O'Connell Hotel (who's friendly publicans didn't mind a bit of nudity). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Ride was exquisite. Turn out was much better than I'd expected and everyone had a positive attitude. We had zero negative interactions with onlookers :) The look on the face of the cop on Lygon St, holding his breathalyser, who basically chose not to see us, was priceless. Weather was chilly, but warmer and drier than it could've been. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Media... | ||
| + | Melbourne Leader did a pretty good story: | ||
| + | http://melbourne-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/naked-riders-hit-the-streets-in-winter/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | And some doco people were shooting footage. More details at some point. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Thanks to all those who turned up, DG for helping to organise (and bringing tunes), and to the many who were with us in spirit. | ||
| + | |||
| + | peace from the pedals, | ||
| + | -Alex | ||

===Legality=== | ===Legality=== | ||
| − | + | For the past few rides, Victoria Police have attended to assist with management of the ride route. | |

Winter 2011 Ride
Winter 2011 Ride Details
Here are the details for the Winter WonderLand Melbourne Naked Bike Ride 2011 (!)
This Friday 10 Jun 2011,
Meet 7pm at the Lord Newry Hotel-
543 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy North
(if you plan to eat dinner at the pub, please get there earlier)
Leaving pub at 7:30pm, for a nearby outdoor undressing location.
After undressing, we'll go for a short, easy ride.
After the naked part, we'll get dressed at another outdoor location, then zip over to a nearby ending pub to warm up, socialise, eat, etc
My expectation is that this will be a mellow ride, mostly about riding as 'bare as you dare' in solidarity with a handful of other chilly, hardy souls. We can save the big statements for the warmer, bigger, and better planned March ride.
That being said, feel free to be creative in your attire... Body paint, slogans, silly clothing, etc. Just bear in mind that we will be undressing outside in the -cold-, so we'll want to get ready pretty quickly.
It will be dark, so...
Do bring lights.
Do bring reflective accessories.
Do be visible :)
You will probably want to have a backpack or pannier to carry your clothes during the ride. There won't be anywhere to store stuff during the ride and we aren't going back to the start point.
As always, the dress code is 'As bare as you dare'. ;)
Peace, hope to see you there
Winter 2011 Ride report
17 riders turned up for Friday's (10 June 11) naked ride.
We started at the Lord Newry hotel, got dressed in Edinburgh Gardens, went south on Brunswick St, across to and then up Lygon St. Finished at the Dan O'Connell Hotel (who's friendly publicans didn't mind a bit of nudity).
Ride was exquisite. Turn out was much better than I'd expected and everyone had a positive attitude. We had zero negative interactions with onlookers :) The look on the face of the cop on Lygon St, holding his breathalyser, who basically chose not to see us, was priceless. Weather was chilly, but warmer and drier than it could've been.
Media... Melbourne Leader did a pretty good story: http://melbourne-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/naked-riders-hit-the-streets-in-winter/
And some doco people were shooting footage. More details at some point.
Thanks to all those who turned up, DG for helping to organise (and bringing tunes), and to the many who were with us in spirit.
peace from the pedals, -Alex

Mission Statement:
We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way
of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians plus all the negative effects of oil, cars, war, consumerism non-renewable energy as well as promoting positive body image.
Clothing is optional. The dress code for the World Naked Bike Ride is "Bare As You Dare!"... YOU get to decide how naked you wish to be. If that means completely naked, the decision is yours.
The ride is NOT A RACE and goes at an EASY RECREATIONAL PACE.
What to bring – your trusty Bicycle, Helmet and shoes. Wear clothes that are easy to remove and put back on. Bring body paints and makeup, banners, noisemakers and artwork.
Fantastic Fun! World Naked Bike Ride is the biggest naked protest event in the world. It is the grooviest, funniest, most hippie greenie event.
Legality
For the past few rides, Victoria Police have attended to assist with management of the ride route.
In March 2009 the VIC Police gave their approval for the WNBR to ride naked as long as 'people conduct themselves in the manner advertised.' That is in the context of non-sexual nudity without intention to cause offence.
The laws that are relevant to public nudity in Victoria are applicable throughout the state. For discussion of this topic, please refer to the separate page about Victoria Laws.
