Ride Details
Come join the excitement on Saturday 11 June 2011 as the fifth Washington DC ride!
Purpose: To ride through the United States capital to promote the use of alternatives to oil (or in the negative, "to protest against oil dependency").
We are planning on leaving at 3:00 pm from Franklin Park. We plan to ride past the capital building and the White House.
How Nude is Legal?
DC Indecent Exposure law has been interpreted to mean - one's genitals are covered (Duvallon v DC - 1986). We've worn a tiny penis/scrotum "glove" in years past with no hassles. If followed you need not worry about the police. Women may obviously go top-free. We will have a changing tent.
What to bring?
Please bring body markers. Please bring prepared signs, something to drink (water), sunscreen, helmet, and bike. Search Flickr for "DC naked ride" for ideas.[1] [2]
How to get there?
Please take the subway as parking is limited and those bringing equipment for the ride need it.
Everyone is Welcome!
Please download the flyers at the yahoo group and distribute them in the DC/MD/VA area - especially college campuses and bike shops and tell your friends.
