Specific
details are normally sent to you the day of the event to keep others
from showing up and taking pictures while participants are getting nude,
painted or just preparing for the event. It is free to participate and
is 'bare as you dare."
I _______________________ do solemnly vow to PROTEST OIL ADDICTION and to BEHAVE BEAUTIFULLY on the ride.
If you're coming by car or creepy or wasted or take pics or sell stuff,
please spare yourself the hassle of our security and the police
changing your life. But if you're SUPER DUPER nice and ONE with our
cause, we may let you stick around after.

*** BASICS ***
The TENTH World Naked Bike Ride (and skate) Chicago (WNBRCX) will be the evening of Saturday June 8th 2013 somewhere in Chicago IL.
*** BE CLEAR ON WHAT THIS ISN'T *** WNBR IS a people powered happening
bringing radical attention against oil addiction; It's NOT primarily a
naturist party. It IS a big fun ride for able area cyclists; It's NOT
for the frail nor fliers/drivers. It IS an extreme free speech exercise
trying to save the planet; It's NOT MardisGras. If you are distant or
uncertain please read more details.
Location is not disclosed
until days before based on experience to limit crowding of the creepy
variety. Furthermore the announced location is only a check point where
next directions are given to verifiable participants on bikes. If you
plan to come just to look and hope to bluff your way in, make other
plans.
Gathering is 6-8pm at undisclosed location. Body
painting may be available, but line so long that coming pre-decorated is
recommended. Read details. If you show up there without bike/skates, or
with a camera, and say you didn't know or that someone said you could
or feign language trouble, you will be laughed off premises.
Ride is
about 8pm-11pm. Route is not announced in advance, and maps are not
guaranteed. Expect to follow guides, assume round trip. You MUST be
capable of over a dozen miles of chilly urban biking. Check your tires,
pack minimally, bring water+snack, CardsCashPhoneKeys, etc.
Recommended viewing point(s) for fans and spectators: Suggested viewing points+times and the ride's progress live will be on and on ride day. Also on as @ChiNakedRide and #WNBRC
KEEP THE COURSE CLEAR!!! Wave and cheer and applaud from the sides and joy will be multiplied.

I would love to go, I just find out about the ride after my June schedule is complete and for the past 4 years I have been working on the WNBR ride day :-( So, if anyone knows of the 2014 date, please let me know as my schedule for the next month is given to me on the 7th of the month prior.
