Freedom is not a word. Freedom is not a lifestyle that can be bought and sold. Freedom is an action. Freedom is the wind in your hair. Where ever than hair may be. Freedom is a bicycle and the open road stretching out into the horizon. Freedom is not needing permission. Or oil. Or clothes. Freedom is the craziest, wildest thing you’ll do all year. Freedom is just around the corner.

World Naked Bike Ride.
March 21, 2010
Kuttabul Place, Acton
Bodypainting starts at 10:30am.
Ride leaves at noon.

Peacefully expose the vulnerability of cyclists, humanity and nature in the face of cars, aggression, consumerism and non-renewable energy.

Remember it’s bare as you dare, so there’s no pressure to strip all the way down. We are encouraging folk to come early to be bodypainted. If you want to support the ride, but don’t want to actually ride, you are welcome to help with organising the ride, bodypainting on the day, providing water/drinks halfway through the ride and so much more check out <http://bit.ly/bpccow> which is our organising page.

The ride will be FREE! Everyone is welcome to join the ride. All forms of human powered wheels transport are welcome.

On the weekend before the ride in collaboration with Canberra Muscian’s Club we are holding a party called “CICLONUDISTA”. Come and see some of Canberra’s best bands and have a trial bodypaint. More details here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=323351362598&ref=mf

Looking at those images, (while trying to keep my breakfast down,) I think spinact nailed it…

So how many arrests?

Any reports on this?

riding naked through shanghai should get you noticed, mscheeky, and make your bike stand out from the throng!

spinact, speaking as I am fresh from being nude for the Spencer Tunick installation at the Opera House a couple of weeks ago, I disagree. When there was 5000 of us naked, it was all good naked! Everyone is beautiful in their own way.

I’d be at the ride if I could, but I’ll be in China at the time. I wonder if they’ll have one there? There are lots of bicycles in Shanghai…

Oh my. Hate to quote Seinfeld, but there’s good naked and bad naked. The world naked bike ride has got to qualify as bad naked!
