Ride Details
This is not an official WNBR event. Local organisers have not followed prescribed rules of WNBR as specified on the Organizing_a_ride page. Basically the local organiser is acting independently, abusing the WNBR name on Facebook.
- From the Facebook event group the local organisers write:
- Time: 3:00am - 10:00pm
- Defend the rights of all cyclists and pedestrians!
- Protest our dependence on oil! Ride your bike naked wherever you are on June 14!
This will be the first ride in Marquette and sure to attract plenty of riders from Northern Michigan University. Organisers have the initial novel idea of inspiring a "wild rampage" in which bike riders in Marquette ride naked spontaneously sometime during the whole day where ever they find themselves. This breaks with the traditional method of organising a ride where participants meet at a specified time and place and ride together as a group. Local organisers are encouraged by the WNBR International Coordinators to adopt the traditional approach because to qualify as an official WNBR event, riders need to ride together as a group and individual streaks by riders do not meet the criteria. Watch this page for developments and hopefully a ride time and place will be provided.
