In 2020, the World Naked Bike Ride returns to Melbourne. The 2020 ride will be bigger and better than ever!!!
We put our naked bodies on the line to draw attention to bicycles as an environmentally friendly transportation alternative, and also to increase awareness of cyclist safety.
The ride is a protest against oil dependency and demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road. We also promote body positivity.

Chiltern Mo Ride

Post author By claire
Post date September 19, 2019

The Chiltern Mo Ride was the brainchild of local cycling enthusiast and businessman Matthew Williams who made the connection between his private recreational pastime and the ever present need to raise awareness about men’s health issues in small Australian communities. 2018 marks the 7th year of the event.

This year, the event will be held on Sunday 25 November, and will consist of supported rides in the National Park and a family adventure ‘rogaine’ style event more locally. The day will culminate with a community BBQ.

The event in 2018 will be supporting more local Men’s Health programs, including Chiltern Men’s Shed, Burrumbuttock Hay Runners and the Movember Foundation.
