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.
