Rules for the Vancouver ride
- Nudity is not forced on anybody. You decide what you are comfortable with.
- Respect the diversity of many different body types, and refrain from ogling.
- Realize that although we are naked, many people consider that private parts are still private. Don't bring them up as a topic of conversation with somebody you do not know.
Naked bike riding tips
- Prepare for riding rain or shine!
- If sunny, put on sunscreen!
- You do not have to be fully naked to join the ride.
- Wear shoes!
- We often start the ride with some clothing on and then stop away from the crowds to get bare!
- Keep your clothes with you -- you never know when you may need them (like... after the ride).
- Decorate your bike! Come with signs and funky hats! Cover your bike seat with fun fur.
- Ride safely and stay together as a group.
- Tell your friends! Spread the word!
