Apparently San Francisco and vicinity has a critical mass of people who like to combine their passions of riding bicycles and getting naked more than once per year. As it did last year, SFWNBR is hosting several naked rides in 2025, including the upcoming Earth Day ride on 19 April.
Other rides in San Francisco this year include
- the one that happened 15 February for the annual Love Parade;
- one concurrent with the Bay to Breakers run (often called “Bare to Breakers” for the large number of nude participants) on 17 May; and
- one on 27 September between the Autumnal Equinox and San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair.
According to mARTy, who posts on X/Twitter as @SFWNBR, the period from June to September has unpredictable weather that makes it difficult to plan for a summer ride. Due to the peculiarities of the City’s micro-climate, it often gets too cold to ride naked comfortably during those months. Last year’s summer ride went forth despite the temperature, but organizers contemplated canceling it at the last minute.
“Most of these Naked Ladies were already undressed when the boys showed up at ‘Cupid’s Arrow’ for the frigid June Ride when ‘shrinkage’ affected most of us but not them, so we couldn’t wimp out (as planned); I told two of them I would humbly let them take the lead if they liked; They just giggled.”
In a conversation on X, mARTy also had this to add:
Per several early RSVPs, WNBRists from across the country & globe (France & Australia & Canada/“#The51stState” so far) are getting ready to roll in the @SFWNBR Rides & AfterParties again this Spring (which started Th 20 March) to celebrate #ThePureSuitOfHappiness, Our Inalienable #ClothesFreeLiberty, #EarthDay Sat 19 April, & welcome #Bare2BreakersWeekenders, who are looking for a #SocialPublicNudism Double-Header Sat 17 – Sun 18 May, as they visit & tour iconic San FranciscoUSA “Au Naturel!” GiddyUp!
