BASICS

  1. The Seventh World Naked Bike Ride (and skate) Chicago (WNBR-C7) will be the evening of Saturday June 12th somewhere in Chicago IL. Travel planning hints below.
  2. 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. If you plan to come just to look and hope to bluff your way in, make other plans.
    2010 Check-In: After 6pm at The "O", 1025 W Randolph.
  3. Gathering is 6-9pm at undisclosed location. Body painting may be available, but line so long that coming pre-decorated later 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.
  4. Ride is about 9pm-midnite. Route is not announced in advance, and maps are not guaranteed. Expect to follow guides. You MUST be capable of as much as 20 miles of urban biking.
  5. Recommended viewing point(s) for fans and spectators:
    2010: We'll pass Clark/LaSalle/North BP around 10pm, and Ashland/Fullerton/Clybourn BP around 11pm.
  6. Participants bare-as-you-dare; anything from fanciful costumes to body paint to undies are encouraged.
  7. Remember the slogan: "Celebrating freedom from oil, and the beauty of people."
    Be nice to everyone, and leave no trace. If you can't do these don't come.
  8. This event is not for everyone. It is easiest for repeat participants, Chicago Critical Mass riders, and other able local cyclists and skaters. If you are distant or uncertain, please read details.
