Publicity
A peaceful, imaginative and fun protest against oil dependency and car culture. A celebration of the bicycle and also a celebration of the power and individuality of the human body. A symbol of the vulnerability of the cyclist in traffic. The world's biggest naked protest: 50+ cities and thousands of riders participate worldwide.
- We welcome positive publicity!
AFRICA JOINS THE WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE
6th World Naked Bike Ride - Cape Town...!!
- Saturday 7th of March 2015***
Join the Cape Town chapter of the World Naked Bike Ride! Come AS BARE AS YOU DARE
- Riding to MAKE CYCLING SAFER***
The ride will start at 10am, so please get to the start point a little bit earlier so you can get yourself ready and don't get left behind!
Clothing is optional: The dress code for the World Naked Bike Ride is "Bare As You Dare"! YOU get to decide how naked you wish to be. If that means completely naked, or completely clothed, the decision is yours...
This ride is not about nudity - it's about joining in a world wide campaign/protest for the environment: we ride to raise awareness about the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and to MAKE CYCLING SAFER!
What if I don't have a bike?
There are loads of places to rent bikes in Cape Town: http://www.bicyclecapetown.org/city-guide/bicycle-rental-tours/
BEN bikes are also happy to make as many bikes available as possible – but you need to pick the bike up from them in Marina de Gama. You just need a copy of your ID and a R50 charge (you can keep the bike from Friday to Monday).
