==Description== | ==Description== | ||
'''World Naked Bike Ride''' ('''WNBR''') is a highly organised, if a little dormant [[wiki]], operational since 2006, on the very interesting activity of organised {{tag|bicycling|cycle}} rides whilst {{tag|naked}}! Print and broadcast media are actively canvassed to cover the events to publicise their aims. It's dress code is "Bare As You Dare" . . . there is no compulsion to cycle completely naked if you are personally uncomfortable, and some cyclists will partake with just their intimate parts covered. | |||
To quote directly from their welcome page: | |||
"Every year, in [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=List_of_rides cities around the world], {{tag|people}} ride bikes naked to celebrate cycling, and the {{tag|human body}}. | |||
The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the {{tag|road}}, and is a {{tag|protest}} against {{tag|autos|car}} culture. | |||
Most rides in 2012 will take place around the following dates: | |||
*[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Category:Southern_hemisphere_ride_locations Southern Hemisphere]: Saturday 10 March 2012 | |||
*[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Category:Northern_hemisphere_ride_locations Northern Hemisphere]: Saturday 9 June 2012 and Saturday 28 July 2012 (because June can be a tad cold for many cities there will be two dates for the Northern Hemisphere ride in 2012). | |||
This wiki is supplementary to the official [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] site. | |||
On this site you'll find a list of rides around the {{tag|world}}. Please [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Joining_a_ride sign up] to one of these, or [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Organizing_a_ride start your own]! See the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/#General_Information sections below] for more information. | |||
Ride coordinators can also edit pages using this site's democratic wiki system (using the 'edit' tab at the top of each page and beside each headline). | |||
Note for journalists: Press and {{tag|media}} are advised to check the list of rides for local press contacts. Some locations have their own press enquiry pages (eg: [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=United_Kingdom_Media_Information UK press enquiries])." | |||
