June 3, 2004 – Where: On June 12th “Bare as you Dare Ride”. Cyclists in
Vancouver, Toronto,
Montreal, London, Seattle, San Francisco, Asheville, Austin, Chicago, The
Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and many many more will be riding naked
through the cities of the world. The Vancouver ride will start from Sunset
Beach (Beach ave @ Bute). Start time 3:30p.m.

Why: Our idea is to protest oil dependency by celebrating our bodies in
action while satirizing the powers that pollute. Plus, being naked is
cool. Our world message is simplification, human
harmony and love.

For a future to exist for tomorrow’s generations, we must 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,
and to continue to spread this message.

Who: Anyone who owns a naked body (oh and maybe a bike). The World Naked
Bike ride is being organized democratically on e-mail discussion list
across the world. All are invited to help organize and participate in this
event. All you have to do to participate is show up at the start location
at 3:30pm and let the good times roll.

How many people?

The world record of 250 naked cyclists was set exactly one year ago by the
Ciclo Nudista in Spain, June 12th 2003.
Our goal for Vancouver is to break this record with a total of 350 cyclists.
World wide, we are expecting 3,000 cyclists.

Can’t decide what not to wear? Don’t despair. Bare as you Dare! You do not
have to ride completely naked. The ride is clothing optional; not boring
optional!

Cyclists are encouraged to be creative, wear a hat, do some body painting,
be a super hero, don some pasties, or a tube-sock, it’s entirely up to you.
