If you can help volunteer to put up flyers or help in any way please indicate so in the comment area. If you filled out the form and selected an existing event from the menu and hit "submit", rider organizers should receive a form indicating your interest.
  • Visit the local or national web site using the links provided below and take note of the date, start time, and location of the event.

  • The general message of WNBR is a protest against oil dependency and body shame. WNBR advocates and celebrates sustainable energy, environmentally-responsible living, human-powered transport and body-positive values. No ride should seriously deviate from this general message and no ride may require any minimum amount of clothing for the ride.
  • Take promotion of the ride seriously. Organizors should work together with like-minded inviduals and groups (such as Critical Mass) to make a successful event. Organizers must distribute flyers and work with grassroots media and press to generate interest.
