This ride is unique for us here in Miami because of our proximity and connection to the gulf oil spill via the gulf stream.  It has been disheartening and saddening, to put it mildly, to see the devastation, and suffering due to possible incompetence in part of unregulated oil companies and the governments deficient regulatory institutions.  Add to it the concern we feel over the use of dispersants that are not sufficiently understood, studied or tested and the effect that might have on marine life, the acquifer and  food chain.. It easy to feel overwhelmed, confused and upset.
  
North Lot at Haulover Park. If traveling south on Collins Ave, cross over Bayview Drive (158th street), on your '''right''' is a sign that says, ''Haulover Park'', turn into the north lot at your next possible '''right''' after the sign. The north lot is on the west side of Collins Ave, and the Lifeguard Headquarters are on the beach on the east side of Collins Ave. Use the wooden footbridge and pedestrian tunnel that runs under Collins Ave that connects the north lot to the beach. Once you're on the beach side, take a '''right'''. The Lifeguard headquarters are down the trail a few minutes, and are also on the right. $5 to park.

Miami World Naked Bike Ride provides a platform for the members of  this community to channel all this in a genius, positive, creative, ridiculous and slightly subversive way, ala Henry Thoreau.  There is value to exercising our right to peaceful protest.  At the very least it will inspire others to do the same, at its very best it will draw us together as a community, show us that we have heart, and help create the bonds that will help heal us a little . Who knows we may have a chance to place our message out there via media letting government and big industry know that the people have a say and a voice. There is power in numbers and I certainly hope you join us and ride on that day.  Lets have fun, be  truthful and make a memory and a story worth telling.
  
If traveling north on Collins Ave, you have one of two options. Option 1: turn left into the north lot, about a 1/4 mile before the intersection of Collins Ave and Bayview Drive (also known as 158th street). There is '''No Sign''' to tell you where the entrance to the north lot is if you're traveling from the south, but there is a left turning lane available. Option 2: Just do a U-turn at Bayview Drive (158th street) and following the directions above.

June 12th 2010 Ride

This is Miami's first.... World Naked Bike Ride. It is the labor of love of a few hardcore individuals who believe that Now is the time to stand up for the environment and the health of our planet by promoting independence from oil and car culture. All over the globe, from Auckland to London, from Montreal to Buenos Aires, from New York to Los Angeles; Cyclist will take to the streets in "Bare as you Dare" fashion to oppose the reckless reliance on petroleum products.

This ride is unique for us here in Miami because of our proximity and connection to the gulf oil spill via the gulf stream. It has been disheartening and saddening, to put it mildly, to see the devastation, and suffering due to possible incompetence in part of unregulated oil companies and the governments deficient regulatory institutions. Add to it the concern we feel over the use of dispersants that are not sufficiently understood, studied or tested and the effect that might have on marine life, the acquifer and food chain.. It easy to feel overwhelmed, confused and upset.

Miami World Naked Bike Ride provides a platform for the members of this community to channel all this in a genius, positive, creative, ridiculous and slightly subversive way, ala Henry Thoreau. There is value to exercising our right to peaceful protest. At the very least it will inspire others to do the same, at its very best it will draw us together as a community, show us that we have heart, and help create the bonds that will help heal us a little . Who knows we may have a chance to place our message out there via media letting government and big industry know that the people have a say and a voice. There is power in numbers and I certainly hope you join us and ride on that day. Lets have fun, be truthful and make a memory and a story worth telling.

Nudity is OPTIONAL, costumes and body painting is encouraged, laughter is welcome, lets put a smile on the faces of all those people lucky enough to encounter this curious flotilla of protesters.
