Overhead from the media

“The Auckland World Naked Bike Ride’s purpose was to draw attention to oil dependency and the negative social and environmental impacts of a car dominated culture. Last year 250 Aucklanders were killed by vehicle emissions, and 94 people died in car accidents on the roads of Auckland alone”

- Simon Oosterman, Auckland 13 Feb 2005 WNBR organizer, union worker and climate justice campaigner in central Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand

"Stop indecent exposure to vehicle emissions"

- Message on banner held by Simon Oosterman and three supporters—two men and a woman—outside the courthouse naked on 17 Feb 2005.

Consider yourself a radical protestor who will do almost anything to show your disdain for our dependency on oil? Want to make a statement about how we should reacquaint ourselves with our own bodies? Then join the World Naked Bike Ride on Saturday, June 12. Anyone can participate. All you need is a pair of wheels and, well, that's it. "Go as bare as you dare!"

- Jacob Wheeler, Utne

Unsuspecting downtown Toronto residents may wonder if night has come early when they look out their windows next Saturday afternoon and see a flash of multiple glowing moons.

Dozens of cyclists are expected to buck taboos when they ride naked in Toronto's first-ever World Naked Bike Ride on June 12 to protest against oil dependence.

Dave McKay, 40, is one of the cyclists expected to take part. The computer programme cum actor and clown has cycled in the buff at another festival in Nevada before -- he says it's fun and freeing.

A worldwide phenomenon, the annual naked ride has become successful in cities such as Portland, Vancouver, and Seattle.

This year's participating countries include Brazil, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Belgium.

The Toronto event has been jokingly billed Critical Ass, a play on the name Critical Mass -- a group of cyclists who take to Toronto streets every month to assert their right to use the road.

By Mary Nersessian Saturday, June 5, 2004 - Page M6, Globeandmail.com

Cyclists are well-known for wearing skin-tight outfits that leave little to the imagination - but naked biking? That is what is proposed in Kensington and Edinburgh on Saturday, June 12, and more than 70 riders have already enrolled for the London leg of the World Naked Bike Ride.

The cyclists will be starkers bar helmets and footwear as they take to the streets on the same day in more than 20 cities in ten countries, including Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Canada and New Zealand.

Bare all: Or, if you're shy, wear body paint to remain incognito on the World Naked Bike Ride

Inspired by the monthly Critical Mass rides, the meeting is a protest against oil dependency, as well as a celebration of the power and individuality of the body, say organisers

Take the buff By Chloe Scott, Metro 3 June 2004

The Bob Rivers Show Mornings on KZOK 102.5 FM "Classic Rock" Seattle. A WNBR Seattle - related daily online poll was posted asking:

Seattle is one of 22 cities around the world where nude bicycle riders plan to protest oil dependency and [rest of question lost]

Total 236 votes cast.

Yes. We’re way too uptight about nudity in America. If humans were meant to wear clothes all the time, we would have been born with longjohns that have the little flap where the sun don’t shine. Let’s have Nudestock in Downtown Seattle! 59.75%

No. The last thing I want to see on the mean streets of Seattle is a gaggle of puffy white blobs on bikes. Not only that, I’ll have to do some ‘splaining to my kids when they ask about those funny dangling things. We should keep our clothes ON 40.25%
