World Naked Bike Ride (2006)

World Naked Bike Ride is a award winning documentary film that follows the planning and success of a most unusual political protest.

The Bike ride is a protest in favour of body freedom (being happy whatever shape, colour or size you are) and challenges our dependency on oil based fuels.

The event is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human powered transport (bicycles, skateboards, inline skates, etc), to “deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world.”

The dress code motto is “bare as you dare”. Full and partial nudity is encouraged, but not mandatory, on all rides. There is no mandate to cover intimate parts – this is a distinguishing feature of WNBR against other cycling events.

Creative expression is also encouraged to generate a fun and immersive atmosphere during the ride, capture the attention and imagination of the public and media, and make the experience more personalized and fulfilling for the riders.

Body art, such as body painting, are common forms of creative expression, as well as costumes, art bikes, portable sound reinforcement systems (public address systems, bullhorns and boomboxes) and musical instruments or other types of noisemaker.
