We’ve found a few more dates to our list of rides in North America. Cleveland OH finally joined the worldwide party on 8 June, the default date (second Saturday in June). San Francisco and Montpelier VT also staged their rides on the 8th.
Columbus OH will ride on 15 June. Unlike Cleveland’s ride, whose organizers state explicitly that total nudity will likely get you arrested, Columbus looks like full monty looks to be the norm.
How could we have forgotten to post this? Two of your friendly H-Town WNBR facilitators will appear on KPFT’s Living Art this Thursday 6 June, between 6 and 7 pm. Most likely we’ll be on in the last segment, somewhere near 6:40.
If you miss the show, you can catch the archived edition, available from the program’s main page about an hour after broadcast.
Don’t bust your hump or burn a lot of gas to get there, but we’re providing an opportunity to meet fellow riders the night before the Big Ride. If you can, come on down to the Mighty Moon Tower Inn, Friday 7 June, 6-8 pm.
Moon Tower is located in the East End, 3004 Canal Street, 77003. This outdoor joint specializes in gourmet hot dogs (including tofu pups) and a splendid variety of beers. And, oh yeah, attitude. It was one of the stops on the first H-Town WNBR in 2011.
Location in case of rain or other unfriendly weather: Good Dog Houston, 1312 West Alabama Street, 77006 near the University of St. Thomas. Sure, it’s a considerable distance from Moon Tower, but…hot dogs & beer, y’all.
Look for a middle-aged white dude in a white Ghost Bike t-shirt. Yeah, sometimes we do wear clothing in public.
Now with links to the Facebook events or the WNBR Wiki pages!
Since its beginnings in 2004, the standard date for World Naked Bike Ride in the Northern Hemisphere has been the second Saturday (or Sunday) in June. Over the years, that has become less of a standard: Various cities choose other weekends for their own reasons. There are rides almost every weekend of June, July, and August this year.
Here are some confirmed dates for other rides in North America. All rides are on Saturdays unless otherwise noted. You can get news on upcoming rides and other useful information from the World Naked Bike Ride Facebook page.
