It's On! Drop your drawers – Bike Summer is here! Come join the 4th Annual WNBR Seattle ride on 14 July 2007! Last year's ride was a huge success, not only in Seattle, but around the world!

Seattle was the first city in the US to organize a ride! Ride again from "the Center of the Universe" to the Seattle Center and tour the City!

Yes, we are really are going to do it, again! Best of all YOU are invited to ride with us. Join a mass of naked compatriots in a non-sexual, fun bike ride and refreshing splash at the fountain!

All are welcome! All ages, sizes, colors. This is not a race! We will, however, discourage gawking and unwanted behavior. WNBR is a participatory event! Please read our photo policy.

What to wear? Do not fear!

The World Naked Bike Ride dress code is "Bare As You Dare"... How bare is that ? How dare is that ?...Its all up to you, you decide what you are comfortable with. NO ONE IS EXCLUDED OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST based on levels of clothing, bodypaint, or anything else, for that matter! See Body Art for details.

PLEASE be creative and colorful! Bodypainting and bike decorating is highly encouraged!

Going by bike, moving away from oil dependency and advocating body-positive values for some is a statement of patriotism.

When/Where:

TENTATIVE PLANS:

This year's location is Fairview Park (Google Map) (not at Gas Works Park as in years past), Eastlake neighborhood. Saturday, July 14, 2007 (Note the change to July from June)

Ciclomundo, WNBR Seattle's body painting/art party, will start at 9 am and the ride will leave the park at 12:30 pm. Get your mutant cycling vehicle decorated and paint your comrads!

Gas Works Park sits on top of a contiminated former industrial site. According to the Wikipedia entry on the park, a web site affiliated with The Seattle Times newspaper says, "Gas Works Park is easily the strangest park in Seattle, and may rank among the strangest in the world."

Franz had many hand-prepared organic vegan treats for riders in addition to amazing bodypainting designs

The shooting crew from Clothes Free TV came all the way from California. Unfortunately, it rained for our June 11, 2005 ride and our ride was cut in half. It always seems to rain when out of towners visit. Greg and Melanie got painted up. See their footage here.
