2011
Date: Saturday 11 Jun, 2011
Time: Noon
Location: Caplan's Bike Library
The 2011 World Naked Bike Ride, Halifax edition, was held at Caplan's Bike Library. A bodypainting pre-party kicked off at noon in a hay-lined backyard whose comfort was tamed by DJ Dickout. The ride departed at 2pm. A mobile sound system as well as picturesque weather conditions led to jubilation for rider and unsuspecting bystander alike.
After the ride, the riders disembarked and participated in a bodypainting contest.

The 2010 World Naked Bike Ride in Halifax was organized by Tom MacDonald and several unnamed others and was held on Saturday 12 June 2010.
Participants gathered at the Bus Stop Theatre on Gottingen Street in Halifax. There was an indoor bodypainting pre-party with free food. Artists were on hand to bodypaint people!
We departed from the Bus Stop Theatre at 2:00 pm and had a wonderful time hooting, hollering, and generally confusing and delighting people as we passed by!
