Every year, in cities around the world, thousands ride bikes naked to celebrate human-powered transport and the power and individuality of the human body. WNBR demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and offers a simple, cheap, healthy + fun alternative to car culture. We hope you can join us!

2009 marks the '''sixth year''' that [[wikipedia:Seattle|Seattle]] will be staging WNBR events and our '''18th Ride!''' '''Nine affiliated rides''' are being tentatively scheduled for WNBR Seattle in 2009. Two WNBR Seattle 2009 affiliated events have already taken place in June and July. Counting [[wikipedia:Solstice Cyclists|Solstice Cyclists]] and [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Pride_Ride Body Pride Ride], that will give Seattle a total of '''eleven [[wikipedia:Clothing-optional bike ride|clothing-optional bike rides]]''', easily a record number of rides in one year! This year's theme is '''Abundance'''!

'''Fri, 28 Aug 2009 - WNBR Seattle @ Seattle Critical mAss (ride #??)''' [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Seattle_Critical_Ass Critical Ass website]. Setting a new record for underwearing, naked + topfree participants!
 
:In July we set a big record for naked riders, August will see even more!
 
:The host event, Seattle Critical Mass is the local incarnation of the global Critical Mass event.
 
:Check out our new, uncensored WNBR at Seattle Critical mAss 2009 poster in high definition (1080 size) and share with your friends with this website URL - [http://bit.ly/WOucV http://bit.ly/WOucV]
 
:As always, the start location is at Westlake Park, located at 401 Pine St, in Downtown Seattle. We are meeting up at 5:30 PM. Prior to the Westlake meetup there is also a group that leaves from Red Square at the UW.
 
:The route will be unpredictable, with people in front determining the route as they go, focusing at first on the Downtown area. The pace is typically slower at first but may pick up some speed at times. The ride will move faster through Downtown quicker than our WNBR events as Critical Mass corks intersections more often.
 
:Stay safe! Some riders tend to be aggressive so ride defenisively and be sure to leave adequate room in front of you for sudden stops. Accidents happen. Be sure to also bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
 
:NOTE: We are also asking that riders not disrobe completely until just immediately before the ride leaves Westlake Park or during the ride itself (i.e. at the first major traffic light stop). Bring a minimum amount of clothes with you and secure them to your bike.

We need your money to help make the magic happen! Please [[Seattle donations|click here]] to go to our donations page to support our event! We need money for permitting fees, rentals, materials costs, multiple web domains for our different affiliated rides + privacy registration fees. We also need money for promotion expenses (flying, printing and advertising). Our organizers would also appreciate money for software updates which are very costly (Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks; Apple Final Cut Pro, iMovie; Hype and other programs). We also have a separate legal fund account, which has not been active since 2010.

==Goals==
 
 
 
===Global mission===
 
 
 
The message of WNBR focuses on promoting cycling. Find out more about the WNBR global message see the [[about|global WNBR message section]]
 
 
 
===Local goals===
 
"Reclaim our streets, our bodies, our parks, our city, our self-reliance!"
 
 
 
Beyond the above goals, the WNBR Seattle event focuses on the following:
 
 
 
#'''Community building'''. Have fun and express our creativity while engaging and enjoying various communities in Seattle. Celebrate both the diversity and the oneness of the human experience.
 
#'''Protest oil dependency and advocate renewable energy sources'''; the joy of cycling; sustainable, car-free transportation solutions; and walkable communities. Bicycles are BEST - Better Ecologically Sustainable Transport.
 
#'''Bring attention to the local safety concerns of cyclists.''' Help people begin to see cyclists [http://rideofsilence.org] and share the road. Sharing the road does not mean cars get the lane and bikes get the gutter or car door lane! (See also [http://www.ghostcycle.org/ ghostcycle.org])
 
#'''Rejoice in the power and individuality of our bodies.''' Promote body-positive ideals and activities. Advocate the development of [http://seattlebeaches.org/ free beaches in Seattle] and encourage more family-friendly, clothing-optional use of community spaces.
 
#'''Show solidarity with other naked cycling events around the world.''' Many WNBR events will be riding on the same date.
 
#'''Generate interest in similar progressive and artistic regional events''' such as those organized by [http://cityrepair.org The City Repair Project] - Village Building Convergence, [http://www.thinksmall.org/ Car Free Seattle], [http://www.hempfest.org/ Seattle Hempfest], [[Wikipedia:Fremont Arts Council|Fremont Arts Council]], [[Wikipedia:Solstice Cyclists|Solstice Cyclists]] ([http://solsticecyclist.org/ SolsticeCyclist.org]), [http://www.seattlecriticalmass.org/ Seattle Critical Mass]/[http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Seattle_Critical_Ass Ass], [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Pride_Ride Body Pride Ride (BPR)], [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/NPRseattle Naked Pumpkin Run Seattle], Green America's [http://www.greenfestivals.org/seattle/ Green Festival Seattle], [http://www.burningman.com/ Burning Man] and Regional Burning Man events.
 
 
 
For more info, please see our [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/seattle/resources/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)]
 
 
 
==What to wear? Do not fear!==
 
 
 
:''For details, please see our [[Frequently asked questions]]''
 
 
 
The World Naked Bike Ride dress code is "Bare As You Dare"... How bare is that ? How dare is that ?...Its all up to you, you decide what you are comfortable with. NO ONE IS EXCLUDED OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST based on levels of clothing, bodypaint, or anything else, for that matter!
 
 
 
PLEASE be creative and colorful! Bodypainting and bike decorating is highly encouraged! See the above section on [[Seattle#Express_yourself!|creative expression]] and also visit our [[body art]] page.
 
 
 
The laws on nudity, for the most part are a bit vague, difficult and often unpopular to enforce. The principal concern of most citizens is to eliminate creepy, predatory, exploitative, destructive and abusive behavior. WNBR is a fun, inspirational, non-confrontational body-positive event with a positive message of hope. That is why the ride has been such a huge hit and so many are supportive. Just use common sense and mind your manners! Nude is not lewd!
 
 
 
Since most of us did not grow up in a body-positive society, many will look at you with curiosity and amusement. You will probably notice that different sections of town have different cultural reactions to nudity. Some may feel mildly intimidated because they still might have issues with their own bodies and your shameless ways are unsettling to their body-phobic world. Just be friendly and respectful and things should be fine. Remember we are all human and we all have the same parts.
 
 
 
::"Gymnophobia (from the Greek word for nude gymnos) is the fear of being (or seeing others) naked. A gymnophobic person usually wants to prevent others from experiencing the freedom of not wearing clothes."
 
 
 
If you are concerned, you probably don't need to cover up much to be "legal". With the incredible transforming powers of a little body paint, liquid latex, a strategically placed sock, or a piece of duct tape you too can transform the average city streaking naked wild cyclist into "The legal city streaking naked wild cyclist". Be creative: a little imagination can change everything.

==Organization==
 
WNBR Seattle, [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/NPR_Seattle Seattle Naked Pumpkin Run], [http://hempride.org/ Hemp Ride] and [http://jaybirdrun.org/ Jaybird Run] are productions of the [http://organicparty.org/ Organic Living Party] (OLP). OLP is, in part, a revival of the German [[wikipedia:de:Lebensreform|Lebensreform]] movement. OLP's motto: "Participatory arts, recreation, citizen activism and play are not luxuries!"
 
 
 
Meetings are held to organize WNBR Seattle and are currently facilitated by Daniel Johnson, who would like to see development of an independent collective that would take over management of the event.

Welcome to Seattle's World Naked Bike Ride wiki pages!

Every year, in cities around the world, thousands ride bikes naked to celebrate human-powered transport and the power and individuality of the human body. WNBR demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and offers a simple, cheap, healthy + fun alternative to car culture. We hope you can join us!

First time? Visit the main page of the WNBR International wiki website which has the most info on our international event.

Preparation

Seattle Archive

In 2003, Seattle became only the second city in the world to organize a WNBR event, the first of which was launched in June of 2004.
Please visit our Seattle Archive page. Please contact Troy Mars at [email protected] to add any links or info to a particular ride. The Archive provides a way for people to share Facebook and google photo albums, YouTube and news article links. The more emails I get the more richer experience the Archive will be for everyone. Thanks for your help.

Contact form

You can contact us by filling out form on the WNBR Seattle Join page.

Wiki website

  • You are here! This is the WNBR Seattle wiki site (most detailed info about the events can be found here).

Organizers

The best way to contact organizer Daniel Johnson and the WNBR Seattle team is via telephone: (206) 452-3820 (Skype number - please call first) or (206) 369 - 2661 (mobile phone/voice mail - please only call if you need to speak with Daniel immediately)

Other, less effective, methods:

  • Fill out form on the WNBR Seattle join page (use the comment area and select a ride or rides from the drop down menu).
  • E-mail Daniel directly using his temporary, spam-reduction e-mail address: j0in+hefun@ WNBR sea++le d0+ 0rg (use only letter equivalents, for example use "t" instead of "+".)
  • Fill out form on the main WNBR page (use the comment area and select Seattle from the drop down menu).
  • Leave a message at his discussion page (which he doesn't check very often)

Flickr

We don't have a dedicated photography sharing group on Flickr yet, but its probably just a matter of time. Click here for search results for WNBR Seattle on Flickr. You can find many images in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) Naked Exuberance Group. Please also see our video and photo policy.

Donations

We need your money to help make the magic happen! Please click here to go to our donations page to support our event! We need money for permitting fees, rentals, materials costs, multiple web domains for our different affiliated rides + privacy registration fees. We also need money for promotion expenses (flying, printing and advertising). Our organizers would also appreciate money for software updates which are very costly (Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks; Apple Final Cut Pro, iMovie; Hype and other programs). We also have a separate legal fund account, which has not been active since 2010.
