World Naked Bike Ride

Well, just a quick "here's the most important thing happening in Melbourne" blog entry.

Last year, Melbourne's part in the World Naked Bike Ride - "the world's largest naked protest against oil dependency and car culture in the history of humanity" - was a lovely sight to behold (sadly my living life only once didn't make it last year...)

It's on again. Here's details from my friend Rupert (check out the photos in the link for last years ride):



Hello sports,

this Saturday, at 7pm, I am going to ride naked as part of the "World Naked Bike Ride", this is the Melbourne show, it is "the worlds largest naked protest against oil dependency and car culture in the history of humanity". I was actually supposed to be the one a few years back organising the Melbourne part of this global event. There are 24 countries involved- Melbourne, Brisbane, Tweed Heads and Newcastle are the only Australian "cities" participating as yet in the ride. Anyone who wants to ride and doesn't want to hook up at the meeting spot alone can call me on

Date: Saturday 10 March 2007

Time: 7:00 pm

Location: Carlton Inn/University Sqr. - cnr of Pelham & Leicester Sts, Carlton

You don't have to ride totally naked, body painting or partially clothed is acceptable but you only live once and the cause helps the planet live beyond that.
