World Naked Bike Ride Season Opens

Do you feel totally exposed when you are fighting for your narrow strip of earth in a pack of rushing traffic? Well, it is time to take action. Today is the start of the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride events. WNBR promotes human-powered vehiclists all over the world taking it to the streets to make their point: "It's time to put a stop to the indecent exposure of people and the planet to cars and the pollution they create." If you are a little on the shy side, rest assured. You will not be discriminated against for going only "as bare as you dare". Body painting is encouraged. Alert bystanders today will see rides across Australia and a few other locations with the seasonal conditions for naked bike riding, including Florida and Brazil. If you are shivering at the thought of a nude cruise, then check the WNBR List of Rides to find out if an event is planned in your city in the warmer months of June or July. If not, plan one yourself! And check out the photos on Flickr if you want to see how fun past WNBR days have been!
