We are looking forward to a HUGE turnout. The ride will happen in Santa Fe but we are expecting a large group from ABQ to come up to Santa Fe to join us.

The ride will kick off at NOON from the South Capitol Rail Runner Station. The South Capitol Station is located between Alta Vista and Cordova Roads, and between Cerillos Road and St. Fancis Street.

For those coming up from ABQ and wish to ride the train, here is the Saturday Train Schedule: http://nmrailrunner.c...

There will not be a body painting party before the ride so paint up before you come. The after ride party will be at the new Entrada Park located at the intersection of Don Diego, Guadalupe and Cerrillos Rd. There is a Whole Foods located directly across Cerrillos Rd for folks to buy lunch. We plan to hang out at the park until about 3:00.

We have setup two "Meetup" groups for riders to join. Please join the group in the city in which you live for information on the ride and all planning activities.

FAQs

World Naked Bike Ride Policy is to go as "Bare as you Dare".

New Mexico State Law and Santa Fe City Code state that the PRIMARY GENITALS OF BOTH SEXES MUST BE COVERED! (i.e., penis, vagina, vulva, and pubic mound just to the north)

This does NOT include the breast, nipple, areola, or buttocks of either sex.

So within the limit of the law, we offer the opportunity for participants to go as "Bare as YOU Dare".

We want this to be a positive, fun, non-violent protest that the city will want to have every year. We want to avoid hassles with the city or the local police. We want their support, not their suppression!

History

2010 was the inaugural WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE event here in the Land of Enchantment!

AND IT ROCKED!!!!

19 mostly naked riders rode a 3.55 mile route around old town Santa Fe with a stop and protest on the steps of the New Mexico State Capital. Our purpose was to protest our nations dependency on oil and other non-renewable energy sources as well as promote body freedom and cyclist/pedestrian issues in our automobile clogged roadways. The ride was scheduled to kick off at noon however with all the media interviews and body painting/float assembly, we didn't get going from the South Capital Rail Runner Station until about 12:30 PM.

When we hit the old town plaza, we were surpised to find an outdoor arts and crafts festival going on. The plaza was so jam packed wih people and tourist, we were stopped and asked to walk our bikes around the plaza and so we did. This gave us more "face time" with the spectators in the plaza to share our messages about oil dependency, the BP gulf crisis, body freedom, and cyclists issues. We left the plaza to the sounds of an over-whelming number of people cheering and clapping in support of our ride and messages.

Upon reaching the steps of the capitol building, we were greeted by reporters galore. We spent about 20 minutes speaking with them about our issues before we pushed on to finish the ride. We ended the ride with a picnic lunch at Entrada park across the street from Whole Foods.
