World Naked Bike Ride!

The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is ongoing throughout the entire year!

The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an event that is ongoing throughout the year. It happens across the globe and each and every event is planned and coordinated locally. The local chapters have the responsibility to post their event on the website.

The WNBR is promoted as an international clothing optional bike ride where participants (and spectators – where allowed) plan, meet and ride together using human-powered transport (cycling, skateboarding, inline-skating, jogging and/or running) to “deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer body-positive world.”

The WNBR is not sponsored by any particular sexual orientation organization however it obviously is supported by a multitude of bare practitioner supporters!

The concept for the event is to raise awareness of bicycling safety and rights, raise awareness of ending dependence on fossil-fuels and to raise awareness of the human pedestrian. Nakedness is a tool to depict the vulnerability of humanity in relation to the automobile and the congested traffic it creates.

The WNBR was inaugurated in June, 2004. In 2003, Conrad Schmidt developed the concept of the WNBR after organizing a local bike riding event for “Artists for Peace/Artists Against War” for a city in Spain.

“We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians as well as the negative consequences we all face due to dependence on oil and other forms of non-renewable energy.”

Since 2006, the message supporting the World Naked Bike Ride has simplified and the primary focus is now on cycling advocacy and the sharing of the roadways.
