3rd Annual World Naked Bike Ride - San Francisco 2014 Northern Hemisphere Ride - Part II
This is the BIG ONE!!! Well, the second BIG ONE!!! Heck, lets just call
it the Third Annual World Naked Bike Ride - San Francisco 2014 Northern
Hemisphere Ride - Part II. A number of cities in the farther northern
latitudes have scheduled their WNBRs in
July, including Vancouver, the home of our WNBR founder Conrad Schmidt.
In his honor and all the other participating cities conducting rides,
San Francisco will also ride again. This will be our 4th and final WNBR
of the 2014 bike naking season.
So once again, on Saturday,
July 26, it is time to bring your bikes to Justin Herman Plaza between
Market Street & the Embarcadero Blvd.
We meet on the
northeast side of Vaillancourt Fountain, between the fountain and
Embarcadero Blvd at 11 AM. Bring body paints, watercolors and markers to
apply slogans and designs to each other and adorn your bikes with
signs; meet with old and new friends.
While it is a "naked"
bike ride, all are welcome; it's ride as bare as you dare. That is, body
paint, rubber latex, bikinis, topless, lingerie, bubble pack, whatever
costume you are comfortable riding with. And all types of bikes are
welcome too. How about some more tandems? Unicycles. Hey, get your
friends with music bikes to ride too. Skaters and skateboarders have
also joined past rides.
Our ride is part of a global protest
taking place today in many cities throughout the US, Europe and other
cities in the Northern Hemisphere. Tens of thousands of naked bike
riders are protesting the global dependency of our society and economies
at the hands of the oil cartels. We want to emphasize the harm this
dependency causes to our environment, businesses and social lives.
Nobody is unaffected. We want to endorse more bike riding and our nudity
expresses our vulnerability to these matters. It also draws attention
to our cause.
We will ride through many popular spots in the
city such as the Haight, the outer edges of Golden Gate Park to Ocean
Beach and the Great Highway, south to the San Francisco Zoo and back to
the heart of the city. It's great fun and an event you shouldn't miss.
