World Naked Bike Ride!

It was such a beautiful poster I wanted to share it with you ... and the cause is a pretty good one as well!

"World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is being organized and supported by many different groups. The groups are only connected by their determination to all be naked on their bikes June 11th, riding in celebration, jubilation to deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world to the masses. Yes, we have many great reasons to be celebrating June 11th with all the glory of naked two wheel sanity. It's time to join hundreds of naked compatriots in a free, non-sexual, fun bike ride!

Who takes part?

"People from all walks of life and beliefs. We have families with children, engineers, university professors, carpenters, environmentalists, sport cyclists, gardeners, multimedia artists, bike activists, naturists/nudists, social activists, therapists, poets, city workers, lots of college students, artists, millionaires, people who are living in poverty, Burning Man people, union workers, union organizers, legal professionals, people who are just curious what it would be like to ride — people just like you! You would be surprised!

Do you have to be completely starkers?

No! Nudity isn't required to participate in this ride. All rides around the world are clothing optional. The dress code is 'bare as you dare', so please try to challenge yourself. Wear as little as you can while still feeling comfortable about it.

Last year, people came wearing shorts, bra-tops, swim-wear, body paint/masks, etc. There will be plenty of people who will cycle fully nude, so don't feel that it is your duty to do this if you aren't comfortable showing all of your body. Many people find they get more confident as the ride progresses, so feel free to peel off as you go!

Am I going to do it? Possibly. I'll certainly make sure sol takes part in our local ride next month:).

You can read more about WNBR on their website here, and also find a list of places which are taking part. If your local town is not yet on the list then why not organize a ride yourself?! You will also find a Discussion Group here.
