For the TENTH Time in Finland!
Join now the most extravagant Many-FIEST-Action of the year!
We will do our fantastic ride again on the warmest day of year: THE LAST SATURDAY OF JULY!
Protesting against INDECENT exposure to cars and pollution!
Celebrating CYCLING, NATURE, Human BODY, simplicity, and FREEDOM of being (naked).
The concept is simple: we do, once a year, on the hottest, sunniest day of the summer, a bicycle tour around the city to get the town back from big motorized vehicles, shout against pollution, cars, and hypocritical prudery.
SATURDAY 29nd of JULY 2023 – 15.00 (Departure at 16:00)
Varsapuistikko (close to Railway Station and Kaisaniemenpuisto)
WHY?
- To manifest AGAINST POLLUTION & car culture;
- PROMOTING CYCLING, Nature & Simplicity;
- We want ALL CITY ROADS to be BIKE ROADS, SHARED ROADS! (Pyöräkadulla)
However, the unique reasons why YOU join the ride may be infinite:
you love bicycles,
you love your city,
you want noiseless means of transport,
you don’t like cumbersome and fast vehicles in the city,
you disagree with the speculations of the oil industry,
you wish to sensibilize drivers to mind the bikes.
…and because you may be an exhibitionist!

WHERE IT BEGAN
On June 12th, 2004, cyclists in 29 cities across the world took to the streets of the world, mostly wearing nothing more than a cheeky smile.
It was a huge success and a huge surprise; neither the media nor the police thought that it would happen. This was the world’s first international naked bike ride. Since then, it has spread to more than 70 cities around the world with thousands of participants.

HOW IS IT ORGANIZED
The first thing to know is that it does not have any leaders, hierarchies, or even any bureaucracy. It is an event that belongs entirely to its participants. You are not only invited to participate in this event but also to take ownership of it.
WNBR ON THE WEB
You have probably noticed that there are many videos of the previous WNBR on the net.
One of the meanings of this event is to promote body freedom and to spread the word. Therefore, be aware that there will be many videos of the event on the web.
