| |
| − | | |
| − | ==What to bring==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Survival basics===
| |
| − | *'''Water''' for the ride (we don't want you to die). First leg of ride is about 15-30 mins (Some riders may just want to go on the short ride from Gas Works to the International Fountain). The full ride is expected to ride about 3.5-4.5 hrs or so including at least two moderate hills (which may be a challenge for some riders).
| |
| − | *'''Sunscreen''' (several people reported burns last year, facial/waterproof sunscreen is recommended if you want some on the face without being blinded by it dripping into your eyes). Put on the sunscreen FIRST then allow it to dry a bit before putting on bodypaint. Be sure to reapply it when necessary.
| |
| − | *A '''"minimum"''' to wear if necessary (please bring it with you on the ride). We also are recommending a t-shirt (possibly with long sleeves), if you are concerned about burning. Remember t-shirts do not completely protect you from UV rays. If you want more protection try [http://www.sunprecautions.com Sun Precautions] (there is a store in the Madison area).
| |
| − | *Any '''snack''' you may want for the ride.
| |
| − | *Your '''mobile phone''', if you have one.
| |
| − | *A '''Seattle Bicycling Guide Map''' [http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/transportation/bikemaps.htm] and/or a '''basic understanding of how to get to your post-ride destination''', wherever you may end up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Wheels=== | |
| − | *Your '''human-powered mutant cycle/skating vehicle''' (be sure to check it and ride it to make sure it is safe and problem-free before the ride). Be prepared to deal with a flat tire. Ride will probably not stop to help fix your bike (another reason to bring a "minimum" with you to cover up). You never know if your bicycle will fail and we can't throw you and your bike on our backs and bring you with us. Leave plenty of time to schedule your bike to get looked at by a fully qualified mechanic. Check your tire pressure they day before and morning of the event.
| |
| − | *A '''bike lock''' will come in handy, you might want to have a lockup buddy to lock your bike up to if there is no rack available at any given stop.
| |
| − | *Your '''helmet'''. Bike helmets now required in Seattle. Fine can be as high as $30. [http://www.metrokc.gov/health/news/03071801.htm More info] and [http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/transportation/bikehelmet.htm].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Good karma=== | |
| − | *'''$5 - $50+ "love donation"''' to help pay for our permits, promotional expenses and sound system rental equipment. Help prevent the event coordinators and artists from going broke! They need your help! If you have money and feel strongly about this event and want to see it continue, please donate $$$. This can be done on the day of the event or online through [[wikipedia:Body Freedom Collaborative|Body Freedom Collaborative (BFC)]]'s donation page at: [http://tinyurl.com/b6dsa http://tinyurl.com/b6dsa]. Thanks for helping! Every little bit helps! (The Work Less Party USA and The Organic Living Party do not yet have a bank account, and BFC has offered to help out).
| |
| − | *'''Invite others!''' Your significant other, friends, neighbors, co-workers, rabbi, and your entire family to help paint you (Our bodypainters will not be able to get everybody, find a buddy at the ride to help paint you if you need help).
| |
| − | *'''Your creativity, a non-antagonistic, fun-loving attitude and common sense''' when it comes to '''respecting peoples' personal space''' and '''ride safety'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Express yourself!===
| |
| − | [[Image:HN1X6581 A.jpg|250px|thumb|right|One of a few body painting privacy areas set up for the [[Seattle]] WNBR 2005 event.]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''See [[Body art]] and [[Art bike]] pages for more details.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While some will simply just like to remain clothed or simply naked, '''we highly recommend participants and artists to be creative and colorful! Bodypainting and bike decorating is highly encouraged!''' We will provide some areas for privacy from park visitors while bodypainting. We also have a restrictive photo policy.
| |
| − | :''Note: Put on your '''sunscreen''' and let it dry before painting, if possible.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''Face paints'''. These paints are typically different than body paints. See [http://www.facepaintingdesigns.co.uk Face Painting Designs, Ideas, Face Paints and Pictures]
| |
| − | *Non-toxic '''bodypaint''' There are a number of choices: textile acrylics, theatrical body paint, temporary tattoo paint, henna. Whatever you use check each color for the ASTM non-toxic label. Temporary tattoo paint is more expensive, but if applied to clean, oil free skin (that means no sunscreen) it will stay put and look good longer than textile acrylics which are prone to flaking.
| |
| − | **Non toxic '''textile screen printing ink''' diluted with water is fairly cheap and popular with the Solstice Cyclists. [http://speedballart.com Speedball] makes this.
| |
| − | **'''CREATEX Airbrush Colors'''. Great info at [http://seanet.com/Users/bradford/Body_Painting_Technique.html Body Painting Tips and Techniques]. You can buy them online from [http://www.misterart.com MisterArt.com] [http://www.misterart.com/store/view/001/group_id/1492/Createx-Airbrush-Colors.htm MisterArt.com direct link to CREATEX Airbrush Colors page (includes color samples) at MiserArt.com]
| |
| − | *Inexpensive '''foam brushes''' are favorites for applying the paint in broad strokes.
| |
| − | *'''Painting and mixing containers.''' Reuse your yogurt tubs and plastic containers to mix paints and clean your brush. No glass!
| |
| − | *'''$$$''' Some artists will want some money to paint you. Paint and supplies cost money. Labor and time are also well worth your dollars. This is another good reason to bring a friend.
| |
| − | *'''Compliments and smiles''' for your artist!
| |
| − | *Optional supplies:
| |
| − | **'''Sealer spray''' if you want it to stay on after being in the water. [http://bennyemakeup.com Ben Nye] makes this. Display and Costume sells this.
| |
| − | **'''Moist wipes, old rags or paper towels''' to wipe or wash off your hands.
| |
| − | **'''Long mirrors''', people like to see the progression of their paint job without having to walk to a bathroom or somewhere else to find a mirror. Tape edges thoroughly for safety. No broken glass!
| |
| − | **'''Drop cloth, carpet square, chunk of cardboard or an old towel to stand on while being painted.''' (others may bring some too).
| |
| − | **A '''bucket, box, artist supply box, or backpack''' to carry your supplies.
| |
| − | **'''Reference drawings/sketches, photos''', and '''color tests''' to previsualize your ideas.
| |
| − | **'''Airbrush''' setup to put on a lot of paint quickly and evenly and to blend colors nicely.
| |
| − | **'''Hairdryer''' to help the paint dry (if there is a place to plug in).
| |
| − | **'''Stencils'''
| |
| − | **Hot/cold '''beverages and snacks'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Where to get stuff locally====
| |
| − | Here are some good places in Seattle to get art supplies for WNBR:

| − | | |

| − | 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!
| + | ==Donations== |
| − | | + | 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. |
| − | 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.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Many festivals are going green and cruelty free [http://greenfestivals.org], [http://www.harmonyfestival.com/greening.shtml], [http://www.green-mary.com]. WNBR Seattle is produced by [http://organicparty.org The Organic Living Party/Work Less Party USA] and strives to join the ranks of others as an eco- and animal -friendly event:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Many of our foods offered are [[wikipedia:vegan|vegan]] and have [[wikipedia:organic|organic]], non-[[Wikipedia:Genetically modified organism|GMO]] ingredients
| |
| − | *Our bodypainting tents are made out of Tam Vong and Tonkin [[wikipedia:bamboo|bamboo]], strung together with [[wikipedia:jute|jute]] twine. Franz's tent utilizes bases made out of recycled vegetable containers, discarded construction materials, thatching, Body Painting sign made with recycled cardboard product.
| |
| − | *Many of our paints are reused from past bodypainting events. We reuse discarded plastic tubs and cups for mixing paints, we reuse old dropclothes.
| |
| − | *We hope to begin using ethanol or biodiesel in our generators. We are also looking at going solar in 2006.
| |
| − | *We are advocating [http://biketivism.org cycling], one of the most environmentally friendly and efficient personal transportation solutions ever created.
| |
| − | *We advocate [http://bodyfreedom.org clothing-free] recreation, staying clear from unnecessary clothing and consumption.
| |
| − | *We advocate urban and local cultural events, cutting down on unnecessary energy to go to far away places to enjoy body-positive art events (like [[wikipedia:Burning Man|Burning Man]], which is held in the middle of a desert).
| |
| − | *Our policy for our events is "Leave No Trace - [http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/parks/Environment/packitout.htm Pack it In, Pack it Out]".
| |
| − | *We select paper that has a high recycled paper content for our flyers, many of which are handed out by people walking on foot or bicycle.

| − | ==How to avoid trouble==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Have fun, be enthustiastic, be safe, and WNBR's message will speak for itself. Here are some guidelines for people who need clarfication on expectations of behavior and safety during the event:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''Don't be an idiot. Use common sense.''' Remember all those lessons that you picked up in grade school about appropriate social conduct.
| |
| − | *'''Follow the [http://www.jcu.edu/philosophy/gensler/goldrule.htm golden rule].''' Treat others as you want to be treated.
| |
| − | *'''[http://bicyclesafe.com Bicycle safely] and be polite and exercise caution around any people.''' Do not bicycle near anybody laying on the beach. Be vocal and polite when passing. '''Always keep a respectable and responsible distance from people for safety and for personal comfort levels.'''
| |
| − | *'''Do not be "obscene".''' Nude is not lewd - mind your manners! Humans are sexual beings, but being naked is not an indication or an invitation for overt sexual behavior.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Respect peoples' bodies and their personal space. Sexual harassment, creepy or predatory behavior or abusive language will not be tolerated and we will either ask you to leave or we will summon the police.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While there is nothing in the [http://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/toc/table.htm Seattle Municipal Code] about nudity and expectations of behavior, [http://access.wa.gov Washington State] does have a law protecting against "obscene" behavior while being fully or partially naked. This law is intended to protect citizens against unwanted lewd behavior. [http://www.leg.wa.gov/RCW/index.cfm?section=9A.88.010&fuseaction=section RCW 9A.88.010] on Indecent exposure states "(1) A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm. The act of breastfeeding or expressing breast milk is not indecent exposure.

| − | ==Photography and videography policy==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Seattle WNBR event has adopted a photography policy which
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Prohibits photography taking place closer than 15 feet from subjects.
| |
| − | *Prohibits photography inside body painting tent areas without permission from those getting painted.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This policy is intended to curtail any inconsiderate photography which might otherwise take place. We wish to create a safe and supportive environment for all riders. All photographers present at the ride must abide by this policy. Those who do not will be asked to leave. This INCLUDES any riders or press who take photos.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To ensure that this policy is clear to all present, it will appear on leaflets distributed at the event.
| |
| − | If you are attending the ride as a photographer, we would like to remind you that there are various points along the route which feature particularly striking backgrounds for photos of the ride.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Photographers are encouraged to give out contact info on small cards to those who ask.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Riders and supporters are actively encouraged to enforce these policies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please report any problems with photographers to ride organizers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If it makes you uncomfortable, let the photographers know that they don't have permission to photograph you. Keep in mind however that this is a public event and you are in a public park. That does not give people the right to be disrespectful or to harass you with their photography. Also, let other riders know this so they can tell photographers not to photograph you. Another approach is to keep your clothes on during the first bit of the ride, and take them off after you have left the assembly point. We recommend this approach too. Both of these approaches will cut down on photographs taken at the start of the ride, but it's not really possible to stop people from photographing during the ride.
| |
| − | | |
| − | WNBR local events often do have a documentary team taking pictures and video, but they are generally very considerate people and will try to keep your best wishes in mind as much as possible. You can see many of their images on this website and on WNBR-generated media, which is sometimes shared with other non-profit progressive groups.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are also those who are at the event to use the images for other reasons, and you won't know without asking. If someone is being aggressive, acting suspiciously, or making you feel uncomfortable please tell a WNBR team coordinator or someone who can confront them and tell them to back off a bit and give people personal space. People need to understand the positive message of WNBR and understand that part of respecting each others' bodies is giving each other enough personal space to be comfortable. This is especially important for those that have never been naked in front of strangers or in public before. They have their own issues they are dealing with and aggressive gawking or unwanted exposure adds an additional unwanted complication to their experience. So speak up!

| − | ==Promo Video==
| |
| − | Those of you who missed the Seattle WNBR meeting on Apr 23, 2006 with Conrad Schmidt recently can now see the footage we shot in the [[wikipedia:Washington Park Arboretum|Washington State Park Arboretum]], on a very busy warm day. There were tons of people in the park that day using this trail. A lot of people got a kick out of the streaking, which went on for about an hour or so, on and off (we certainly looking highly conspicuous as we waited for people to walk by). One lady asked if she could join in.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To help encourage all 5 billion people on the planet to participate in this celebration of two wheeled naked splendour we have made a small video promo. You can watch the video promo by visiting
