Vancouver

RIDE DETAILS

The ride meets at Sunset Beach (near the corner of Beach Avenue and Bute Street) at 12 Noon, with the ride itself starting at 2:00pm. The ride and all ride activities are free and are on rain or shine!

The event is a protest against car culture and oil spills and pipelines. It is also a celebration of creativity, individuality, and the human powered machine.

Dress code: Bare as you dare (see #RIDE TIPS below).

RIDE RULES

• Wear a helmet! We want our riders to be safe and it is a law to wear a helmet on busy roads.
• Bare as you dare! Nudity is not mandatory, but fun, attention grabbing clothes, costumes, accessories, and paints help the cause!
• This is a body positive event. Respect the diversity of the many different body types and genders.
• This is not a sexual event. We want everyone to feel safe. All sexual orientations are welcome, but please leave any sex toys or BDSM fetish gear at home!
• Private parts are still private. Don't grope, touch, or ogle other peoples’ parts and please don’t bring yours or theirs up as a topic of conversation with someone you don’t know. *This is a "Leave No Trace" event. Don't litter and take everything out that you bring in. Including your clothes. ;)

RIDE TIPS

• Prepare for riding rain or shine! Bring warm clothes you can easily remove once you warm up.
• If it's sunny, put on sunscreen!
• Dress up! Nudity is not mandatory but you can wear costumes and accessories to draw attention to our cause as well.
• Wear shoes!
• Bring a backpack or bike basket/crate/bag. This is a ‘Leave no trace’ event so be prepared to take your clothes, gear, and any food with you.
• Decorate your bike! This is a protest against oil dependency and a celebration of the human powered machine. Bring signs, costumes, and bike bling!
• Cover your bike seat. If you’re riding naked, fake fur or soft material are recommended.
• Ride safely and stay together as a group.
