WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE - CHICAGO
Second Saturday in June since 2004
6pm Gathering / 8pm Ride
Check in point will be announced to the Yahoo group shortly before ride day.
Join the Yahoo group and see details at ChicagoNakedRide.org
Celebrating freedom from oil, and the beauty of people.
WNBR is a fun and conspicuous global event with dozens of cities participating.
WNBR Chicago is bare-as-you-dare, with outfits ranging from body paint to fanciful costumes to beach-wear.
Chicago's past rides rallied hundreds of cyclists and skaters covering over a dozen miles of high visibility city tourism and recreation areas.
The ride's atmosphere is extremely joyful and transcendently fun.

The above photos are cleared for publication.
Many more photos on the photos page.
VIDEO:
This has been cleared for re-broadcast by its producer.
CAMERAS:
Press crews in some pre/post ride staging areas will draw security's negative attention. Some control of cameras is a key to our success.
I recommend press visit the check-in point (2011) about 1025 W Randolph after 6pm, and/or the fan point likely Addison along Wrigley after about 10pm. These are great locations for person-on-the-sidewalk interviews. Just don't block the road with trucks and tripods for gosh sake. There's a logistically useful text broadcast of our location live. I've also seen a writer or two actually participate. This formula has worked before for press.
Within days after ride our staff will have photos posted online you can use.
PAST:
National Public Radio, CarBusters, Chicagoist, Cosmopolitan, The Derailleur, MetroMix, NewCity, Reader, Red Eye, Sun Times, Timeout Chicago.
