History of Local Event
Seattle was the first US city to organize a ride. Daniel Johnson met with Conrad Schmidt after both participated in an Artists Against War/Artists for Peace/Work Less Party (AAW/AFP/WLP) Go As Bare as You Dare ride in Vancouver, BC. Conrad expressed interest in creating an international naked cycling event modeled after the rides in Vancouver and Daniel committed to having one in Seattle. The Seattle Ride was inspired by the painted naked cyclists of the Summer Solstice Parade, the AAW/AFP/WLP Rides in Vancouver BC and Manifestación Ciclonudista in Spain (España)
