Hi all,
The annual World Naked Bike Ride is going to be held in several
Australian cities on Saturday March 8th this year.
This event is a piece of street theatre to promote awareness of
naturism, sustainable living and transport. Our motto is "bare as you
dare" - you can either ride fully dressed, nude, or painted up. The
choice is yours.
I am promoting the Brisbane leg of the event again this year after the
success of 2007's one in which 32 riders (and 20 cops!)
participated.
This year I am keeping the route for the ride underground in order to
deter police presence. In other states they turn a blind eye to the
event, but in good ol' redneck Queensland they still see the human
body as an offensive and obscene thing.
We will be doing some body painting before the ride, and once it's
over go to a nearby bar to discuss plans for next year's. The WNBR is
NOT a race or a contest. Everyone rides at their own pace. There
will be a prize for the person with the most inventive body paint
design.
Please note that there may be some professional photographers and film
makers covering the event. If you wish to be involved or interviewed,
make sure you sign a release from them first.
As I don't post on here very often, you can view the plans for the
