World Naked Bike Ride, Worldwide
The World Naked Bike Ride is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human-powered transport (the vast majority on bicycles, and fewer on skateboards, rollerblades, roller skates) to "protest oil dependency and celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies".
The dress code motto is "Bare As You Dare". Full and partial (especially topfree) nudity is encouraged, but not mandatory, on all rides. Requiring partial cover-up is strictly forbidden and is a distinguishing feature of WNBR versus other cycling events.
The first Naked Bike Ride was celebrated in Zaragoza, Spain, in 2001. In 2003 Conrad Schmidt conceived the World Naked Bike Ride after organizing the Naked Bike Rides of the group Artists for Peace Artists Against War which took place in the early part of the same year, as well as other high-profile political and media events leading to the creation of The Work Less Party of British Columbia.
The World Naked Bike Ride rapidly started to come to life through collaborations with activist groups and individuals around the world. The first World Naked Bike Ride event in 2004 was a collaboration between the WNBR group and Manifestación Ciclonudista in Spain, establishing a precedent as a solstitial Saturday observance. Since that time rides have also taken place in February and March.
