Welcome!
Welcome to the World Naked Bike Ride Wiki Website!
On 12 March and 10 June 2006, cities across the world will experience the naked joy of the world's largest naked protest against oil dependency and car culture in the history of humanity. It is time to stop indecent exposure to automobile emissions and to celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies! Naked Bicycle People Power!
This wiki is supplementary to the official World Naked Bike Ride site.
On this site you'll find a list of rides around the world. Either sign up to one of these, or start your own! (See sections below for more information)
Ride coordinators can also edit pages using this site's democratic wiki system (using the 'edit' tab at the top of each page).
