The ride will will assemble at 4pm on Saturday the 21st of March 2009. The exact assembly location are yet to be decided. [[Nimbin]] rides on Saturday the 7th of March 2009 and [[Byron Bay]] rides on Saturday the 14th of March 2009. [[Nimbin]] and [[Byron Bay]] are within commuting distance of Brisbane so keen participants can ride in all 3 of these places.<br>

THE BRISBANE WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE WILL BE BACK IN 2020.<br>
  
−
The ride will be clothing optional. You can wear whatever you want to or as little as nothing. Try to challenge yourself but do not frighten yourself to bits. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable at the time. You can always take it off or put it on as you like.
+
The Brisbane World Naked Bike Ride will be held at Riverside Drive in West End near Merivale Bridge.  All riders must assemble there by 11:30am with the ride officially taking off at 12pm going down to Orleigh Park and back up again. You must wear a helmet and as it is a clothing optional ride a g-string is the minimal dress code in accordance with willful exposure laws.
  
−
===Here are a few tips:===
+
We will have face and body painting, as well as a couple of small prize givewaways for the best decorated bike and best body design.
  
−
*1) Wear plenty of sunscreen and a helmet as well as some sensible shoes for the ride.
+
It's an all ages event, and bear in mind that there might be members of the general public taking photos (although we will have an official photographer on the day).
  
−
*2) If for any reason the police converge on this event and try to arrest you, *do not* resist arrest or obstruct them in any way.  After all, this is a peaceful, non-violent demonstration.
 
−
For the most part, you will be showing them up to be the bigots and bullies they are - and we will be having people with camcorders filming the whole time.
 
  
−
*3) If you find the crowd jeering or heckling you, then smile, laugh, and wave them off. Girls: *don't* put your tops back on if the cops order you to - you are well within your biological and legal right to demonstrate bare-chested at this event, and if the cops want to take the matter to court, then we will. Remember: "good" women rarely ever make history!
+
WNBR Mission Statement: <br>
 +
"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 and non-renewable energy."<br>
  
−
*4) No sexual behaviour of any kind will be tolerated during this event. We are out to show people that we support public morality as far as sexual mores are concerned. Anyone who tries to exploit this event for sexual opportunism such as swing clubs, or makes unwanted advances towards any other punter whether they are naked or not will be ordered to leave instantly.  
+
Check out http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/Australia for more info about WNBR generally, and past rides.<br>
  
−
*5) Do not lie to any journalist or reporter about your thoughts on naturism or this event - it will come back to haunt you later.
+
Please pass this on and invite and tell everyone you know whether it be your family, your relatives, your friends, your workmates, your church-people (hey, public nudity was okay in Biblical times too, you know!) :)<br>
  
−
*6) If you wish to photograph anyone, ask permission from them first. Do not photograph anybody under 16 who may at the event without securing permission from their chaperone.

The 2008 ride was the second time Brisbane had participated in the ride.  Unlike 2007, this year was a more sombre and subdued event with an even stricter police presence than last year.  Dario assembled the film maker, photographers and body painters at the cul-de-sac in Crown Street at 2.45 before two friends had alerted him to six police cars already being assembled in the park.
+
==[[Brisbane 2007]]==

−
The ride did not start until 4:20 pm in which five men and one woman rode.  The police threatened all the riders with arrest if they went nude, including the woman going topfree.  In the end, the riders backed down and took to the track wearing their shorts and sandals with various slogans more pertinent to naturism than oil dependency painted on them.  One girl in her late teens tried to join the ride 10 minutes after take off and removed her top but was shouted down by the police, and eventually left the site 15 minutes later.
 
−
Dario chose not to ride as a protest against the small turnout and the lack of female participants.
 
−
 
 
−
Dario did some brief filming of the participants, including film maker Charles McFarland and assistant Eleanor Embury.
 
−
 
 
−
There was no after ride party as the local pubs were reluctant to hire out a private bar for dress optional functions (unlike the Regatta last year).
 
−
 
 
−
The World Naked Bike Ride has received quite a lot of negative remarks with traditional nudists and naturists in Brisbane regarding the 'shock' value of public nudity to draw attention to political and environmental causes.  With the exception of Free Beaches Australia and several festivals where nudity is allowed or at least tolerated, the Brisbane WNBR will no longer be reaching out to anyone who is involved with the nudist community.
 
−
 
 
−
Dario is planning to host an alternative bike ride in the future which will only be promoted via word of mouth to college and university students, social activists, feminists, and underground media like Brisbane Times and The Independent including 4ZZZ radio and The Australian Naturist magazine.  The venue will only be revealed to those who fully confirm their presence there on the day via email or SMS.
 
−
 
 
−
This will largely protest against the burning of fossil fuels, the current public nudity laws in Queensland and the legal right for girls and woman to go topfree in the same social environments and contexts that guys are outside of beaches.
 
−
 
 
−
The event will only go ahead if at least 100 riders will confirm they will be there on the day.

The 2007 ride was the first for Brisbane.
 
−
 
 
−
The Indooroopilly police were assembled on Coronation Drive at Toowong at approximately 3.10pm with the photographers and film makers turning up half an hour later.  The riders started to arrive about after 4pm for body painting as well as talking to the people at 4ZZZ radio, Channel 10, and the Westside News. 32 riders participated.
 
−
 
 
−
====Post-ride party====
 
−
We all had our post ride party at the Regatta Hotel afterwards.  The duty manager kindly reserved the Cellar Bar downstairs for us.  We discussed plans for next year's ride as well as impromptu public nude stagings and plans for starting a young adults naturist group in Brisbane this year.  At one stage, some of us nuded up for a photograph.  One young lady took part in the photo, but she was not comfortable with going the full monty just yet. 
 
−
Nevertheless it was a great opportunity to renew some old friendships and forge a few new ones too.  Byron Bay film maker Charles McFarland attended the event and included 10 minute footage on his latest DVD "Lily's Fantastic Summer 1" available from his site at http://www.synetechvideo.com The video contains two girls from the bike ride, Lily Barlow and Laura Kearns having fun at his place and riding their bikes fully naked down the main highway in Byron.

Ride details

THE BRISBANE WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE WILL BE BACK IN 2020.

The Brisbane World Naked Bike Ride will be held at Riverside Drive in West End near Merivale Bridge. All riders must assemble there by 11:30am with the ride officially taking off at 12pm going down to Orleigh Park and back up again. You must wear a helmet and as it is a clothing optional ride a g-string is the minimal dress code in accordance with willful exposure laws.

We will have face and body painting, as well as a couple of small prize givewaways for the best decorated bike and best body design.

It's an all ages event, and bear in mind that there might be members of the general public taking photos (although we will have an official photographer on the day).


WNBR 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 and non-renewable energy."
