The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together on human-powered transport to "deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world." The largest iteration of the WNBR in the world takes place in Portland, Oregon averaging approximately 10,000 participants and thousands of spectators.

No, the ride is “as bare as you dare”. You can wear as much or as little as you are comfortable with. Go as bare as you dare, but DO NOT FIGHT THE POLICE!

Sexual activity of any kind will not be tolerated and such persons will be ejected and banned from the ride.

Only riders and support personnel are allowed in the assembly area. Volunteer security is provided in the assembly area to keep unwanted persons and photographers out.

If someone at the park or on the ride is inappropriate please let security know at the time it happens. All security people are also riders. If you would like to volunteer for the security team, please contact us.

Please observe park rules in the assembly area. NO GLASS BOTTLES. Please be considerate of your fellow riders. Please deposit trash in provided receptacles

The ride is 4 miles and it usually takes us about 1 hour to complete.

Bicycles are the preferred ride , however roller skates, roller blades, skate boards, are all acceptable.

Those are not the best for this since we are in New Orleans and road quality is poor.

Electric bikes, electric scooters, One-Wheels, and electric unicycles are not ideal due to the slow speed of the ride.
