| 06/12/2004 | 2004 will be the 1st annual World Naked Bike Ride. The World Naked Bike Ride is a light-hearted attempt to draw attention to the danger of depending on fossil fuels, and the inadequate response of governments around the world. We bring a message of peace to a war-torn planet, divided by greed over dwindling oil resources.
This event includes 24 cities around the world, including rides in Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, four cities in Canada, and eleven American cities.
It is ridiculous that the human form is considered more newsworthy than the fact that global warming is changing the world in ways we can’t predict, control or repair. Despite glaring evidence that fossil fuels are already transforming the planet, political leaders continue to emphasize oil and gas as energy sources, while displaying lukewarm support for green energy or reducing energy consumption. Every day millions drive their cars, fuelling ongoing conflict in the Middle East that shows no sign of resolution.
In the spirit of freedom from social restrictions and dependence on a dangerous energy resource, we invite you to join us as an observer or participant on June 12th.www.worldnakedbikeride.org
