Location

Gather at 4:00pm at the Fitzroy Memorial Rotunda in Edinburg Gardens, Fitzroy North (on the north side of the gardens). Ride leaves at 5:00pm.

Ride details

Go as bare as you dare!
Protest oil dependency!
Celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies!

Bring bike decorations, body (or finger) paint and your smile. Don’t worry, we’re all a bit shy when it comes to public nudity – bring your bathers if you’d like and grab a drink at the pub for a bit of Dutch courage. We’ll ride through the friendly streets of Melbourne’s inner North, putting smiles on the faces of onlookers, and challenging attitudes towards nudity, transportation and public space.

Afterward: socialising, merriment and BYO food and drinks.

Volunteers Needed

Alex, the WNBR Melbourne Organiser in 2006 and 2007 is going overseas and will not be available for the WNBR Melbourne 2008. Heidi Hill has volunteered as the organiser but still would appreciate any help you can give. Can you volunteer to help organise in 2008? The work will be shared around a team of volunteers so please do not think you will get heaps of work loaded onto you. It is easy and fun. Please join the WNBR Melbourne Yahoo! Group or the WNBR Melbourne Facebook Group and put your name forward.

• Place: Union Club Hotel, corner of Gore & Webb Sts, Fitzroy (a nice bike-friendly pub)
