Ride information
Anybody can participate, including children. Bikers are encouraged to go as "bare as you dare." It is not mandatory to go completely naked, though encouraged. In fact, participants can come fully clothed if they wish. Body paint and other creative body coverings are also encouraged, as are helmets and other protective biking gear. Also, if you would like to participate without a bike, any sort of transportation that is not a car (i.e. rollerskates, skateboards) can also be used.
Further questions can be addressed at the WNBR FAQ section.
