2007 Dates
In order to help encourage as many cities as possible to attend this event there will be two primary ride dates for the Northern Hemisphere ride in 2007. June 9th and July 14th. This will also enable cities who's rides get rained out on June 9th to reschedule for the July 14th event.
The Southern Hemisphere ride will be on Saturday 10 March 2007.
The Black Rock city ride will be as usual during the Burning Man festival which is in late August.
Since this is an international event with the goal of being as inclusive as possible this website will help promote all WNBR rides regardless of the date a particular country or city chooses to ride on. Cities are however strongly encouraged to choose dates that are on or as close as possible to the agreed upon dates. This helps builds solidarity and creates a strong media presence.
There are only two rules to having a WNBR event.
1. The ride is a protest against oil dependency and / or car culture.
2. It is as bare as you dare. Participants get to decide how nude they want to be and not city officials or even the organizers of the event. You decide what you are comfortable with.
Seattle
Seattle has some conflicts that it needs to consider for scheduling. This ride must not conflict with the Solstice Cyclists on the Saturday closest to Summer Solstice in June or Body Pride Ride which is the week after that. We also want to avoid conflict with any regional Buring Man events such as Critical Massive and Burn in the Forest (mid July). We also really enjoyed the Group Health Bicycle Saturday and Sundays event, which is only on select weekends. Also, if we schedule too late in the summer, it is harder for us to get access to the International Fountain at the Seattle Center.
