Pre-ride

  • Seattle Magazine: The Premier Seattle Monthly, June 2006, Summer Guide, "Bike Naked", p. 105
  • There was a great segment on Thurs morning 8 June 2006, sometime between 7:40 and 8am on 103.7 FM The Mountain on the Seattle and global WNBR event on the John Fisher & Mike West show. Conrad just did an earlier show with CBC and the BBC and he said this interview with the three Morning crew members was his best. They've added a link to us on their page: http://www.kmtt.com/themorningshow.asp.

Post-ride

  • KING 5 TV News, Sat, 10 June 2006 (sounds firm, but this needs to be confirmed).
  • KOMO 4 TV News, Sat, 10 June 2006 (sounds firm, but this needs to be confirmed).
  • Q13 Fox News Coverage on Sunday, 11 June 2006 and Sat, 10 June 2006 (sounds firm, but this needs to be confirmed).
Did anyone record the Ch13 news coverage of the Seattle 2006 June 10 ride? A co-worker of mine saw me being interviewed and I'd like to see it. I said I'm convinced that if everyone all over the world went naked all the time there'd be no more wars. Posted by User:BayBridge6
  • The Seattle Times Fair was like the welcome wagon Jerry Large June 15, 2006 [1] (Reference to WNBR Seattle at bottom article) Correction: WNBR Seattle started at Gas Works, not Green Lake.
Quote 1: "While the Sea Gals were dancing on stage inside, something very Seattle was happening outside at the fountain. There were maybe 60 people — it was difficult to count them — running around the fountain in naught but their skins."
Quote 2: "Now, if the city could get some of its employees to paint advertisements on their bodies and ride around town naked, they could drum up a pretty good crowd for next year's [Discover Seattle Newcomers] fair.
  • Seattle Post-Intelligencer Too prudish for nudish? By Cathy Sorbo (a Seattle-based comedian http://cathysorbo.com, Special to the P-I. Saturday, June 24, 2006 [2] References to in-home nudity, no sanctioned nude beaches in Seattle, topfree equality, Forestia, painted cyclists, Bare Buns Fun Run, "An old-fashioned Fourth of July", Oktoberfest and World Naked Bike Ride.
Quote: "Here in Seattle we have the extremely popular clothing-optional "World Naked Bike Ride" but I'd much prefer a section of beach over an organized function. As the WNBR people like to say, nude is not lewd."
  • Capital Hill Times, Wed, 14 June 2006 edition. The article had a picture of some of us at Cal Anderson. "Get on your bike and ride! (naked) Photo/Bradley Enghaus. A group of roughly 75 cyclists stopped at Cal Anderson Park during their Saturday, June 10, World Naked Bike Ride. The group rode 27 miles, beginning on Beacon Hill and ending at Gas Works Park. Held in more than 50 cities worldwide, it was the third year Seattle has staged a ride in support of sustainable transport and the power and individuality of the human body." Correction: The article says we started the ride on Beacon Hill and ended at Gas Works Park. We never went to Beacon Hill and the ride started and ended at Gas Works Park, and went as far south as Seward Park.
  • North Seattle Herald-Outlook, Wed, 14 June 2006 edition. Has small picture of rider at Gas Works Park with caption. "Barely ready to race A bicyclist waits for the World Naked Bike Ride to begin at Gas Works Park on Saturday, June 10. About 75 bicyclists made the trek to Seward Park to protest car culture." Photo/Bradley Enghaus.

Yes. We’re way too uptight about nudity in America. If humans were meant to wear clothes all the time, we would have been born with longjohns that have the little flap where the sun don’t shine. Let’s have Nudestock in Downtown Seattle! 59.75%
No. The last thing I want to see on the mean streets of Seattle is a gaggle of puffy white blobs on bikes. Not only that, I’ll have to do some ‘splaining to my kids when they ask about those funny dangling things. We should keep our clothes ON 40.25%
