| − | When we enter the large [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/countries/us/seattle/fountain.html Seattle Center International Fountain] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHX7DHub07E video]) area, we must all get off our bikes and walk with our bikes into the fountain area. Bicycles are not permitted down into the water area. Lock your bike, walk down the ramps. We will spend no more than 15-20 minutes in the fountain. Please also be very polite and vocal (or ring bells) when passing around adults and children in the area. We have also been asked not to use amplified sound such as megaphones in this area. The Seattle Center puts up signs to alert sensitive people to the presence naked people. Thank you for ensuring a safe and fun Seattle Center experience for everybody!

| − | =====Post-Ride Beach Wade-in + Light Social Potluck=====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Inspired by other WNBR wade-in traditions such as at the end of WNBR [[Vancouver]] (BC, Canada) and WNBR [[Brighton & Hove]] (UK), we're planning to set a new record for skinny dipping at a Seattle beach! So stick around with us after the Seattle Center! (You can easily throw on your undies until you reach the beach after rinsing off your body paint in the fountain, if you wish).
| |
| − | | |
| − | By the way, the Seattle Center has no problem with us washing off our body paint in the [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/countries/us/seattle/fountain.html International Fountain]. They explained to us that they actually have a very thorough filter system because of all the messy kids (+ fun-loving adults!) Better to wash off in the fountain than in the Puget Sound! [http://pugetsound.org/act/citizen/sound-citizen-voices Keep it clean]!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bring something simple and light like pre-washed fruit or veggies to share and water for yourself.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Afterwards we can return to UEC for cleanup and to pickup after ourselves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | =====Come to our Crazy Pre-Ride Party at the Underground Events Center in Belltown!=====

It also was the Body Painting Party location of the world-famous 2008 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solstice_Cyclists Solstice Cyclists]. The address is '''2407 1st Ave''' (between Battery St & Wall St), '''Seattle, WA 98121''' (see [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=215960271425877919542.0004a742e9506bc7b623f&msa=0 Google map]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tourists + Seattleites alike love the creativity, exuberance + spontaneity of the naked cyclists!
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''[http://worldnakedbikeride.org/countries/us/seattle/cyclomundo.html The Pre-Ride Party]''' formally commences at '''10:30 AM and ends at 1:30 PM'''. The UEC will lock down and the ride departs at '''1:40 PM''' from the Underground Events to the Olympic Sculpture Park Beach Start/End location for a '''2 PM OSP Beach departure'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Underground Events Center Pre-Ride Party will be great place to body paint, decorate your bike, finalize your handmade costumes, adjust your helmet, tie your shoes, use the restroom one last time, inflate your tires, find helpful people to answer all of your questions, check the latest information about the route, take soom cool snapshots of your ensemble in front of the UEC murals, enjoy some raw juice and smoothies that our volunteers will be offering and meet other like minded free-wheeling folk! Yes friends, it's all that and so much more! Check out pictures and video of the UEC space in our [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3BT5Q9ihSM new WNBR Seattle 2011 YouTube video]!

| − | | |
| − | For consideration of people with different privacy needs at the UEC Pre-Ride Party, '''there will be two photography zones inside the building: limited photography + no photography'''. If you don't want your picture taken in the public areas outside of the building or on the ride while naked, please consider wearing a disguise, sunglasses or wearing clothes. There are many reasons people may not want to go naked but still ride with us in solidarity. Please also see our [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Seattle_video_and_photography#Policy photography policy].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Volunteers are encouraged to show up ahead of the body painting party around 10:15 am to help set up. We also need help to break down and cleanup the site. Contact us ASAP if you can help!
| |
| − | | |
| − | =====After Party Anyone?!=====
| |
| − | | |
| − | We may later hit a bar for a clothed social and after ride decompression (Belltown, Fremont, Queen Anne?) One thing we've learned over the years is that many naked cyclists like to drink beer and chill after the ride to recall what happened during the ride, plan for the future and meet like-minded creative, fun-loving folks like themselves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | =====Bellingham WNBR benefit=====
| |
| − | Your generous help is requested!
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Bellingham WNBR riders have asked for some support in covering their travel expenses (Greyhound probably) in coming to Seattle to speak about their very serious court case and police abuse. We will also be doing a small benefit for them at the Pre-Ride Party for WNBR Downtown Seattle Ride.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They are bringing their t-shirts and patches described on their [http://www.indiegogo.com/Support-the-Bellingham-World-Naked-Bike-Ride-Defendants website].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Is there anybody who can pledge $5, $10, $20 or more towards covering their travel expenses, probably around $60?
| |
| − | | |
| − | This would really help! Please e-mail or call me offline soon if you can! Thanks!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Saturday's WNBR Seattle will also be in support of the B'ham riders and to bring attention to the need for police to not abuse their power with harmless WNBR riders. More soon.

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.

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==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.
