Return to DiscussionsThe Buffalo WNBR facebook event page is public.
Anyone can view it.
To minimize the unsavory "participants",
1. Location will be announced a few days before the ride.
2. A check-in location to ensure that those participating did bring human powered mode of transportation.
3. After check-in, participants are taken to the starting location which is different from check-in location.

Some observations on the Buffalo World Naked Bike Ride:
First off, the weather was beautiful. Sunny and mid to upper 70's with a light breeze.
I got to the park around 2pm and there were a few people there already
There was a group from the AANR Niagara chapter that were involved in the organizing
By the time the ride began there were about 150 riders, maybe more. - Nice size ride
The average age of the riders in this ride was much lower than any other ride I have done to date. I was one of the oldest ones there. Lots of riders in their 20's and 30's
This ride had the highest percentage of women riders of any ride that I have done, probably about 30% and at least half of them totally nude, almost all of them topless (Legal in NYS)
There were 3 rest stops along the way, all in Parks. The first one in a park with a large fountain. Many of the participants were frolicking around in the water. Too cold for me. That stop lasted over 20 minutes. Then we rode again and stopped again at another park, that was about 15 minutes. We rode again for a while and made the last stop at a park across from Buffalo City Hall. That was a short stop, about 10 minutes. From there we rode a few more miles to the site of the After party. By then the temperature dropped to a bone chilling 68 degrees, so I decided to put my shorts on and ride back to the start point.
All in all, a very enjoyable day. I will definitely do it again since I can coordinate it with my annual Western - Central NY trip
One thing though. This is the first time I rode my bike this year. Between how sore my legs are this morning, and how bad I look in the pic is how much out of shape I am.
Were most of the men totally nude?
If 68 is chilly for you, your body must be totally acclimated to your current life in Florida and has forgotten that you used to live in upstate NY.
I think a lot of men in their 60's would like to look as good as you do in that picture.
I am just 70 and know I would.
Any thoughts on where you will go beside Buffalo and Columbus?Houston on 9/9. They did not do a ride in Austin in June, but I hear they are trying to do one in mid September. If it turns out to be the week after Houston, I will do it.
Will you drive or fly?

When do you leave for Columbus? Are you going to drive nude most of the way?
