Location information
History
Sydney has yet to have a WNBR. The WNBR planned for Sydney on Saturday the 8th of March 2008 will be the first ever in Sydney. Some people confuse WNBR with the Sydney Body Art Ride but they two are two different bike events.
Future
In August 2007, Marte volunteered to help organise WNBR in Sydney. Marte seeks help from as many people as possible to make WNBR Sydney 2008 a big success. Marte welcomes the contribution of ideas and practical help. People interested in participating or helping Marte organise a WNBR in Sydney should at least try to come to Sydney Critical Mass rides (see above) and the WNBR meetings that follow, join the discussion group, try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. Regardless of the level of help that is offered to help organise WNBR Sydney, Marte will pressing ahead and making the ride happen! Please refer to the Organizing a ride page for more information about how to help organise a WNBR.
