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
5th World Naked Bike Ride - Cape Town...!!
- Saturday 8th of March 2014***
Join the Cape Town chapter of the World Naked Bike Ride! Come AS BARE AS YOU DARE
- Riding for CLEAN ENERGY***
The ride will start at 10am, so please get to Prestwich Memorial a little bit earlier so you can get yourself ready and don't get left behind!
We'll cycle through Cape Town CBD, same route as usual, starting at Prestwich memorial, along the fan walk past the stadium, turn around in Sea Point, then back along the fan walk, a loop along Long Street and Bree Street and then back to the start...
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 for cleaner energy, less reliance on fossil fuels, and to encourage more people to cycle!
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).
