Ride As Bare As You Dare! Eliminate All Dependency on oil and make roads SAFER for cyclists
Under 16's must be accompanied by a parent / guardian.
We now have a emergency backup date. The emergency backup date is ONLY there if we need to postpone the ride due to severe/bad weather or other emergencies, if we ever have to use the backup date it will fall on the following Saturday same time same location. As the 2016 ride is planned for Sat July 2nd the emergency backup date will be Sat July 9th but only if needed.
The world naked bike ride (wnbr) is an annual demonstration that draws attention to the absurdity of oil & gas dependency and celebrates the potential of cycling and the human body. The overuse of the planet's vanishing oil reserves causes pollution, global warming and leads to war, inequality and injustice. Many politicians want to subsidise the car industry and build more runways. They call such follies progress but this is progress towards disaster.
WNBR is an international movement, with rides taking place in over forty locations in the UK and around the world. Riding naked emphasises the vulnerability of cyclists on the road, at the same time as celebrating humanity in the face of mechanisation. If it seems a little crazy, think about the total madness of car culture and its inevitable results.
if your worried about going nude on the day don't panic as it's fully clothing-optional bare as you dare, Full and partial nudity is encouraged, but not mandatory and if the route is too long for you, you can pull out at one of the rest points.
