As published on the WNBR Nimbin facebook group:
World Naked Bike Ride - Nimbin: Protest for Peace and the Environment

2018 will be Nimbin's tenth year participating in the WNBR festivities. Please come & support the Nimbin WNBR.

Please feel free to contact us, as much help will be needed

Date: Saturday 10th of March 2018
Time: Start painting up at 10am
Location: Bush Theatre.
The ride starts when everyone is painted up and ready to go. The ride itself consists of a few laps of the main street of Nimbin and takes about 30 minutes. The first part of the ride is up a hill from the bush theatre into town - please make sure you and your bike are in condition for the ride. Generally though it isn't a taxing ride and a wide range of people take part each year.

Mission: 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.

Protest Themes: Biketivism, Naturism, Environmentalism, and Pacifism.

Dress code: Clothing is optional - The dress code for the World Naked Bike Ride is "Bare As You Dare"! - The choice is yours to decide how naked you wish to be. If you choose to be full clothed or partially clothed or in costume or painted or if you choose to be completely naked, the decision is entirely yours.

This ride is immense fun. The joy and exhileration and the confidence you will get from it will warm your heart for years to come!

From the WNBR Nimbin facebook event page:
Come along to the 10th annual world Naked Bike Ride in Nimbin.

We ride naked (or as bare as you dare) to remind vehicle drivers that cyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable on our roads. Our message is Share the Road.

BRING your bike, a helmet, body paints (we will have some paints there as well)

WHAT WE DO we meet at the Bush Theatre Cafe, strip off and paint each others bodies - slogans and images associated with bicycle activism; when everyone is ready we ride the main street of Nimbin with our Share the Road message.

ALSO because this is our 10th birthday, there'll be cake in there somewhere too

REFRESHMENTS - including lunch, available for sale at the cafe

PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY - The organisers of the ride hold participants' enjoyment and comfort as their priority; when people are stripping and being painted they can feel self-conscious especially if this is the first time they have done the ride

While stripping and painting please only take photos of people you have permission from to photograph; when you ask for their permission, tell them what you are going to do with the picture (obviously when we are riding the main street, there is no control over photography)

SAFETY

CHECK YOUR BIKE - that the chain works and the brakes work; every year there are one or two riders who get stranded because their bikes aren't up to scratch; don't let this be you
CHECK YOURSELF - have you been on a bike recently? Can you ride up a hill? (there is a hill between the Bush Theatre and Nimbin town)

We look forward to seeing you in Nimbin on 10th March for the best fun you'll probably have all year.

James and Mij

Previous ride details

Hi folks ! Its "World Naked Bike Ride" (WNBR) time again ! We ride on the second Saturday in March. Get out you bikes, check the wheels go round, the chain is present and correct, and the tires are up !

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.

This will be our 9th ride, and they have all been superb. Last year, even though the day started out quite wet, a reasonable crowd turned up at Peace park (under umbrellas !!!). When we got to the paintup spot, there were more there !. An estimate was over 35 - but the real improvements were a better gender mix, and better art ! The ride was excellent.

Our paint-up venue even opened for us- coffee before the ride, vegan food after - all in all an excellent time was had by all.

So, dont be put of by the rain, or the distance - it is really quite short and easy - and come and be a part of it. We want no spectators - everyone should be in the ride !

And seriously, as much fun as the spectators get, the real fun is in the painting and the after party - adrenaline city ! It is as bare as you dare. If you want to ride clothed, come along as you are ! Get some bling for your bike ! Bring some paints to share - if you have none others will. Bring bikes to share if you have them. So come even if you do not have a bike !

Meet at Peace Park as per usual from 10AM, and then proceed to the '(not really) secret paintup location'. Please try to be in a reasonable time span, as we have to prepare as well. We usually start the actual paint up at about 10.00, and ride at 1pm. The times are rubbery. Give yourself a lot of time, to get the best paint ! (You can ride without paint if you want as well.

Dont miss it !

Body painting

We will endeavour to protect the environment as much as we can. To further this, please consider bringing local river ochres for use as body paint if you can.

After ride party

There is an after ride get-together being organised for participants who have completed the ride. After the ride, we will return to the starting location to get cleaned up.

We expect to have some musicians to entertain us, and some food and drink. It will be easier if we bring our own goodies. We could possibly also get 'notdogs' or the like as well. The food will then be bought in town and taken to the party site. Beer consortiums could also be formed at this time, and a similar methods used. A little bit of planning here can make it a much nicer day.

The owners of our venue have agreed that the after-party can continue with the clothes-optional theme.

Yay !

Warnings

We are not supplying alcohol - you are. Please keep the drinking etc until after the ride for a better time for all. Cycling while under the influence of alcohol can certainly get you arrested, and your driving license may be at risk.

What to bring

A bike in working order. If you have a bike in need of repair or do not have a bike please visit the Bicycle Recycling Network. A limited number of bikes will be available to borrow for the ride so it is best to avoid disappointment and bring your own. You can ride a scooter or skates if you want to because any form of human powered transport is OK.
You MUST have a proper bike helmet.
Bring your friends.
You need to arrive clothed. Seriously, some people have not done this.
You need decent shoes for cycling because you may hurt your feet otherwise.
You need somewhere to put your clothes while you are riding. A luggage rack on your bike, or panniers or a basket that you can put your bag with your clothes. Clothing is optional on the ride and you are perfectly welcome to ride clothed or naked or somewhere in between.
Apply sunscreen before the event.
River ochres for body painting to save the environment.
Bring a bottle of water.
Bring some money for the after party or bring your own food and drink.

What not to bring

Alcohol or drugs. Ride in control and safe. Save your alcohol consumption for the after party.

Photography / Video Recording

The organisers have developed some guidelines around the taking of photos and video during this event. In developing these guidelines, our main consideration is the comfort and confidence of riders, as we want them to participate every year. No considerations shall be seen to be higher than this.

Preparation

During the paint up stage before the ride itself, riders like to take pictures of each other. Before you take a photo or video of someone though we ask that you:

check with the person (or people) that it is okay to record their image
show them the photo / video after you have taken it to check they are happy with it.

If you are planning to put the pictures / video on the Web or in another publication, please do the right thing and tell your subject/s your intentions.

During The Ride

Open photography of the actual ride event with rider arrayed in their final glorious painted form should, in our opinion, be the chief vehicle for public consumption.

Obviously, when we are riding around town, there is no control over what images are taken.

By respecting each others levels of comfort with exposing our bodies and having our image recorded, everyone who comes on the ride can feel safe and have a great day.

Byron Bay

Byron Bay is expected to have a ride next Sunday March 11 at 2pm 2012. Byron Bay is within commuting distance of Nimbin so keen participants are very welcome to ride in Nimbin.

Future

In July 2008 an Organiser volunteered to help make a WNBR happen in Nimbin on Saturday the 7th of March 2009. The Organiser has several associates who are helping and there is strong commitment to make the 2010 event even bigger. People interested in participating or helping organise the 2010 WNBR in Nimbin should join the discussion group, try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. It will happen if you help make it happen! Please refer to the Organizing a ride page for more information about starting or restarting a ride.

-===2009 ride report===
-*Date: Saturday 7 March 2009
-*Time: 10:30 am
-*Location: Peace Park, central Nimbin
-Well, folks. the inaugural Nimbin Ride has been run on Saturday 7 March 2009 and
-was a great success. It started off slow, with few people at the meeting time,
-but when bicycles started appearing it sort of avalanched. It takes bikes to
-attract bikes.<br>
-There was some discussion about the painting venue, so we compromised by
-stopping at the creek en-route to the intended venue, which proved to be a
-delightful spot. Some did not want to go out of town, and so waited for us in
-town.<br>
-The painting party was a lot of fun, with a creek for those still waiting. We
-had two excellent body painting artists there, Elbereth and Tanya. There were no
-houses around, and only driveways to three properties, two of which were
-backpacker places.<br>
-We made ready to ride just after 1pm, with the crowd going up the hill slowly, a
-photograph opportunity in a cul-de-sac, and then into the town.<br>
-Riding into the town, we got an enourmous response from the crowd that had
-formed. We came back for another transit, and both the crowd in the town AND the
-crowd of bicycles had grown !- the magic of Nimbin. The motorists were mostly
-quite patient, some of them were obviously unaware of our schenanigans in
-advance. We circled for a while in the centre of town and then departed
-gracefully to our clean-up and party venue.<br>
-Not all of the riders came back to the party, however, so the prizes for
-attendees were easy to win - one of the two US tourists (who just joined us that
-morning on a borrowed bike) won the prize for best presented. His painting was
-by Elbereth (Wait until you see it !). The raffles also went quite well, with
-generosity from those winning things they did not want/could not use putting
-them back in the hat for others.<br>
-One of the prizes was a barbie doll on a tricycle - see the pre-ride photo
-album, which also has some painting up shots. As more photos come in , I shall
-place more albums up.<br>
-The help from Nimbin community was excellent, the Media support fantastic, but
-at the end of the day it goes down the the riders and decorators - great job all
-!<br>
-Special kudos to those that brought not only their own materials, but also gear
-for others and to lend.<br>
-'''Media Coverage'''<br>
-We were fortunate to have our own community radio station 'NIM-FM' in Nimbin,
-and there were two interviews on this channel, on the Monday before the ride and
-the day before. The local Nimbin paper 'Nimbin Good Times' also ran a story. But
-on the wider scene, we also got an interview and photographs in the Northern
-Star the day before (Front Page !), an article in the Echo (thanks to our Byron
-Buddies there), and an interview on ABC local the day before. NBN came and
-covered the event on the day, getting an early interview and footage of the
-event itself, which screened on the 6PM News that night ! An internet magazine
-'Cycle Sport News' also covered the event, and assisted in some marshalling
-activities. Nimbin Good Times was there and took photos, and we had several
-other photographers in attendance as well. So our message has certainly got out
-there!<br>
-Thanks to all our sponsors that helped cover the costs of staging the event,
-with cash, goods, or services:
-*Nimbin Rox Backpacker
-*Daizy
