ABOUT: 
On June 11, 2005, people of this planet experienced the world's largest naked event since the dawn of the textile industry. Cyclists in cities around the world rode bicycles naked through their town! Included were: Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, CanadaLondon, England; Edinburgh, Scotland; Apeldoorn, Netherlands; Portugal; Pforzheim, Germany; Brazil; Goldenbay, Barcelona, Spain; Milan, Italy;  Christchurch, New Zealand; Belgie, Belgium; Asheville, NC; Austin, TX; Boulder, CO; Burlington, VT; Chicago, IL; Berkeley,  Los Angeles, San Francisco , San Diego, CA; Portland, OR;  OlympiaSeattle, Bellingham, WA; New York City, NY, and other locations world-wide are inquiring daily.  (The list is larger than this!)

The World Naked Bike Ride was organized democratically through e-mail discussion lists distributed around the world, and local networking through coffee houses, health food shops, bike shops, and the world's counter culture.  There are no leaders, organizers, legal entity or corporate sponsors. Anyone can assist, create, promote and participate.

Our message to the world is one of simplification, human harmony, peace and love.  For a future to  exist for tomorrow's generations, we have to stop wasting the life blood energy of the Earth, stop fighting and killing in the name of consumerist wealth accumulation and learn to love and respect all life. 

It has gained superlative interest, response and recognition. Sign up now on the international World Bike Ride E-list and the Asheville Bike Ride E-list.
