World Naked Bike Ride : Chicago #13 is Saturday June 11th 2016

Save the date!!! Chicago's THIRTEENTH Annual World Naked Bike Ride is Saturday June 11th 2016 - Gather after 6pm, Ride before sunset.

Join the emailing list for details at http://ChicagoNakedRide.com
Check-in point will be announced on web and email shortly before ride day.

WNBR-C is a fun and conspicuous event celebrating the end of oil and the beauty of people. The ride's atmosphere is extremely joyful and transcendently fun. Bicycles are the best solution to reducing America's car addiction and improving public health. This event is global with dozens of cities participating world-wide and Chicago among the top turnouts.

This is bare-as-you-dare with outfits ranging from nude to painted to costumed to undies. Chicago's past years rallied thousands of cyclists and skaters covering a dozen miles of high visibility city tourism and recreation areas.

Will the starting point be different than in years past? I will be cutting it very close to make?

Comment by Andrew Bedno on June 13, 2015 at 5:54am

Chicago's 12th Annual World Naked Bike Ride departs today at 8pm!

Check-In begins after 6pm at Mary Bartelme Park, 909 W Adams, at Peoria.
http://massup.us/map/909+W+Adams

This is not the starting point of the ride (keep your clothes on), you will be told where to go from there.

If you show up without a bike, skateboard, inline skates, or some other HUMAN POWERED TRANSPORT you cannot join.

Please do not show up at the last minute (8pm), many people get left behind doing that each year.

We ride rain or shine, so BE PREPARED for ANYTHING.

Travel Tips:
----------------------------------
There is no parking near the starting location, so consider biking in or utilizing the CTA's bike and ride, you can put your bike on a bus or train.

Blue Line: Grand stop is very close, so is the Halsted UIC stop

Green Line: Morgan St stop is perfect

Halsted and Ashland buses are a good option.

Weather permitting we may grill after. So bring something, or you can pickup later.

=== Safety How To ===

Chicago's World Naked Bike Ride proudly continues a tradition of mutual respect, responsibility and safety. Participants look out for and cooperate with other riders. Specifically regarding safety the most important things are:
* Keep your clothes with you- NOT with a friend.
* If you encounter creeper nonsense call it out.
* Sometimes bystanders get hands-y during the ride.
* The ride has volunteers.
* Make sure you and your bike are ready.

Breaking these down...

* Clothes with you
This is a drop ride. Stopping a bike parade of 2000+ for multiple inevitable flats is impossible.
Yearly someone loses their friends in the crowd and falls behind the ride's end. When you're that rider the group's protection disappears. If a friend carries your clothes you could be alone, who knows where, naked.

* Creeper nonsense
Resist with a loud "NO!" if your personal limits (or a friend's) are violated. Creeps have a harder time when people suddenly stare at their offensive behavior. Attract the attention of friends and allies.

* Hands-y bystanders
Avoid potential gropes, slaps, and high fives by staying out of reach in the center of the street. The adventurous ride nearer the sidewalk.

* Ride volunteers
Most wear vests or lanyards. Please let us know if you encounter an issue; everyone should feel safe. On the flip side, please meet us with mutual respect if we ask something of you.

* Be ready
Get a bike tune-up if needed. Rest so that you're fresh for miles of bystanders cheering you shedding clothes (as bare as you dare!) Stay hydrated and eat. Carry water, food, and needed prescriptions.

I'm eager to see you Saturday, June 13th!
