Ride details
World Naked Bike Ride is now a police protected Parade!!! Nothing will stop the police from citing you for nudity BEFORE and AFTER the event, but during the event you will not be cited for public nudity!!! We will have motorcycle cops in front stopping and blocking traffic so we can take up the WHOLE road, and police enforcement in the back to prevent cars from trying to pass through us!
We will meet at 5:30 in Monroe st. Park
There we can derobe, paint up and help others do the same.
at 6pm sharp we will leave
Follow Appleseed, she knows the route
Be on your best behaviour. We have police enforcement there to protect us, don't give them a reason to mess with you.
Helmets and Bike Lights a Must!
And stay on the path!
We get the WHOLE ROAD!!!
so come on, lets celebrate people! it is about our love of bikes, our positive body image, independence from petro oils. And most of all, it is about being ridiculous, shaking things up, bringing that cosmic wonder back into our eyes, opening our hearts, and screaming from the bottom of our lungs: Less Gas, More ASS!!!!!
Civil Liberties Defense Center is a good place to go to seek legal assistance, volunteer, donate money.
If you get cited by a police officer and you feel you didn't commit the crime they sighted you for, please contact the cldc
In Portland, nude biking is protected as a freedom of speech, a judge ruled it. and Rev. Phil has pushed it in court many a time.
We should send him cookies.
And please friend "appleseed bike" on facebook to stay updated!!

History
2009
Saturday 14 March 2009
This time we were police-escorted! I'm so glad their superiors came to their senses. We won't stop the rock. About 50 people showed up in various states of dress, and we were escorted through the heart of downtown. 45 degrees and raining – nothing can stop Eugenians! We got the whole road and were able to use Monroe St park.
Next ride's on Saturday 13 June 2009! Hopefully Portland will do theirs on a different date so we can ride Eugene and pdx!
Thank you to everyone who participated – you did a wonderful job!
...and sweetlife afterwards rocked.
2008
Our March 2008 ride was terrifying to say the least, yet still very fun and liberating.
...Then June 7th came along and This time around it was all fun! We celebrated bike safety, helmets, lights, laughs, smiles, and bare fun. There were 100+ of us again. We stayed in one lane, we stopped at every red light, and every 4 way cross stop we moved as one vehicle. There were cheers, and costumes and lights.
Dare to bare
Less gas more ass!
The cops came, saw and left, realizing that tasering another innocent this close to last week would be detrimental to their credentials and we didn't give them a reason to taser us.
Thank you so much to everyone who came out - maybe another this August? Let's make it happen!
2006
Planning notes were posted to this page for a proposed ride in 2006. It is not known if the ride went ahead. Notes follow:
- OK, I am just getting started. We are in the process of planning The World Naked Bike Ride in Eugene, OR. Hopefully we will have a before and after party with live bands. We plan on trying to get the valet bike parking guys involved (if your from Eugene then you know what i am talking about). Any way we look forward to any advise or help that may be at service and will be posting pics and more info as we get things put together. Thanks ow and ya we are talking about doing this ride of course June 11, 2006.
