Now that things are finally getting back to near normal, I am putting my plans together for the 2022 WNBR rides. Since all the dates have not been announced yet I am not sure which ones I will do. I really want to do Montreal again and probably Philly since I have a friend that lives about an hour away that wants to do it.. I want to do at least 3 of them and possibly as many as 5 or 6. Right now I am working hard to get back in shape since one thing I learned is the more physically fit you are, the more people will take pics, and I love being photographed nude.
Any info about any of the rides, primarily in Eastern or Midwest US would be appreciated.

As part of my bucket list item to ride in every one of the World Naked Bike Rides in the US and Canada, and the fact that I am not working now and most likely will retire, I plan on doing quite a few of the rides this summer. I just booked everything for the ride in Austin, TX 6/11/22. I also plan on visiting Hippie Hollow when there. I am also looking into a Wisconsin swing for Madison 6/18 and Milwaukee 6/25. I plan to do Montreal 7/16 and Philly 8/27 and possibly as many as 3 others so I may do as many as 8 of them this summer.

ReactReply - LULuv2bnudeftlOriginal PosterJun 13, 2022Everything came together and the ride was great. It was 103 degrees earlier in the day, so glad this was an evening ride. The ride was divided into 3 stages with 2 -15 min rest stops in between. Overall took about 3 hours. I suppose there was a group meeting at Pease park after the ride, but since I had a 6AM flight the next morning, I could not stay for it.
One thing I did notice right away is there seemed to be a lot of younger riders. Most of my previous rides the majority of the riders were older and a very small minority of younger (under 40) riders. Here it was about 50/50. Nice to see a new generation of riders.
Anyone thinking of visiting Austin for the ride, or just to visit---DO IT!! What a great area. Hippie Hollow is a must visit. I wish I could have spent more time there. I will be back.ReactReply - LX

That sounds like fun ride. . . With so many rides on the same day, it would take a long time to visit all of them. . . I have been to several NBR's in past years, but I decided to skip 2022, in Columbus, OH. Among other reasons, it was a night time ride, with temps in the 60's, a threat of rain, and about 75 miles from my home starting point. It also had an unknown start point until the last day before the ride and an unknown finish point. . . After the event, it sounded like it would have been fun, but I was unprepared for all of those unknown challenges, at that time. :-/ . . . Speaking of the mix of riders, it appeared to me, that I was one of a minority of those riders who were completely nude. - - Maybe that's fair, since I wasn't protesting the use of any gas powered vehicle to get to the event, but how many legal excuses are there to get NAKED in the streets of a big city?ReactReply - LXMay 26, 2023Its that TIME again. . . who is planning to RIDE in a 2023 event?

I am still waiting for any details about the 2023 Columbus, Ohio event, which might occur in about 2 weeks, IF they follow the schedule of many previous years.ReactReply

I recently learned that the Columbus Ohio ride for 2023 is expected to be the 1st Saturday in August. . . . but that's all I know, so far.

All set for the Buffalo WNBR today Saturday 7/22/23
Meetup at Front Park in Buffalo 2:30-3pm. This will be my first of only 3 or 4 rides this year.
Weather looks nice, sunny mid to upper 70'sReactReply - LULuv2bnudeftlOriginal PosterJul 23, 2023Some observations on the Buffalo World Naked Bike Ride:
First off, the weather was beautiful. Sunny and mid to upper 70's with a light breeze.
I got to the park around 2pm and there were a few people there already
There was a group from the AANR Niagara chapter that were involved in the organizing. Very well organized.
By the time the ride began there were about 150 riders, maybe more. - Nice size ride
The average age of the riders in this ride was much lower than any other ride I have done to date. I was one of the oldest ones there. Lots of riders in their 20's and 30's
This ride had the highest percentage of women riders of any ride that I have done, probably about 30% and at least half of them totally nude, almost all of them topless (Legal in NYS)
There were 3 rest stops along the way, all in Parks. The first one in a park with a large fountain. Many of the participants were frolicking around in the water. Too cold for me. That stop lasted over 20 minutes. Then we rode again and stopped again at another park, that was about 15 minutes. We rode again for a while and made the last stop at a park across from Buffalo City Hall. That was a short stop, about 10 minutes. From there we rode a few more miles to the site of the After party. By then the temperature dropped to a bone chilling 68 degrees, so I decided to put my shorts on and ride back to the start point.
All in all, a very enjoyable day. I will definitely do it again since I can coordinate it with my annual Western - Central NY trip
One thing though. This is the first time I rode my bike this year. Between how sore my legs are this morning, and how bad I look in the pic is how much out of shape I am.ReactReply - LXSep 22, 2026
Well, I have missed the Columbus OH WNBR for both of 2025 and 2026. I couldn't find any news about those rides, BEFORE or After those events. I think they might be having those rides in a little known town called Communicado. . . . Aka, incommunicado . ;-)

Very curious, 1st the website claims it can NOT post my last comment, THEN it gets posted twice, with no way to delete the duplication. :-/
