The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an annual demonstration that draws attention to the absurdity of oil and gas dependency and celebrates the potential of cycling and the human body. The overuse of the planet's vanishing oil reserves causes pollution, global warming and leads to war, inequality and injustice. Many politicians want to subsidise the car industry and build more runways. They call such follies progress but this is progress towards disaster.
WNBR is an international movement, with rides taking place in many locations around the world. Riding naked emphasises the vulnerability of cyclists on the road, at the same time as celebrating humanity in the face of mechanisation. If it seems a little crazy, think about the total madness of car culture and its inevitable results.
If you're worried about going nude on the day don't panic as it's fully clothing-optional bare as you dare, Full & partial nudity is encouraged, but not mandatory & if the route is too long for you, you can pull out at anytime.
Public nudity is officially against the law in South Africa; the organisers of the CT-WNBR do not take responsibility for anyone's actions. It is up to each individual to make an informed decision on what position they want to take.
