History

What is the history of WNBR?

The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) group was created by Daniel and Conrad to help coordinate a large international naked bike ride between many different activist groups across the World. The World's first international naked bike ride in 2004 was a collaboration between the WNBR group which rode on 12 June and Manifestación Ciclonudista in Spain which rode on 19 June.

Prior to the June 2004 World Naked bike ride, there were two independent organizations organizing very similar events with virtually identical messages of protesting oil dependency, they were Artists for Peace in Canada and Manifestación Ciclonudista in Spain. Despite having virtually identical messages neither of these groups even knew of the existence of the other.

Pretty Cool, huh?

Where can I find out more about the history of naked cycling in general?

Why are there not more riders who are women, teens, pregnant, obese, elderly, Mormon, disabled, Muslim, et cetera? Why are there no rides scheduled for Africa? Why are most of the riders white? Why are the rides primarily in western countries?

Everybody is invited not only to participate in local rides but also organize rides in their own cities.
