Why A Naked Bike Ride: 
Every day we are bombarded with countless messages  demanding our obedience to the corporate dictates of a consumption dependent society. Little regard is paid to the future of our planet and generations left with a legacy of waste and environmental contamination. 
How many countless times each day do our media masters spin the same message.

Unless you buy this, you are not worthy.
Unless you look like this you should be ashamed.


By cruising naked down the spending frenzy capitals of the world, we are saying.

NO! ...a fancy new car is not a mark of distinction.
NO! ...I am not ugly just because I don't have the body of an anorexic model.
NO! ...I don't need to spend thousands of dollars on pretentious clothes to create a fake image.

Beauty and strength come from within, money can't buy true wealth, only empty images.

All welcome , cyclists, joggers, rollerbladers, skate boarders, come join us. 

 

On Sept 6th, we protest oil dependency.
On Sept 6th, we protest consumerism.
On Sept 6th we rejoice in the power and individuality of our bodies.
