Welcome to Seattle's World Naked Bike Ride wiki pages!

Every year, in cities around the world, thousands ride bikes naked to celebrate human-powered transport and the power and individuality of the human body. WNBR demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and offers a simple, cheap, healthy + fun alternative to car culture. We hope you can join us! Find out more about the international WNBR movement.

First time? Visit the the WNBR wiki website which has the most info on our international event. Our main, splashy promotional WNBR Seattle website, not updated since 2009, is WNBRseattle.org.

• E-mail Daniel directly using his temporary, spam-reduction e-mail address: j0in+hefun@ WNBR sea++le d0+ 0rg (use only letter equivalents, for example use "t" instead of "+".)
• Fill out form on the main WNBR page (use the comment area and select Seattle from the drop down menu).
• Leave a message at his discussion page (which he doesn't check very often)
