Ride for peace, safety, people & environment. Against cars, aggression, consumerism & non-renewable energy.  Spencer Tunic does legal non-offensive nude public photo events. Decorate your bike or your body at a secret venue, then ride around the streets, taking your protest message in a positive and fun way to the people of Newcastle.  Media attention grabbing to let people know the goodness of pushbikes can help solve many of the worlds social problems !
Join the email groups to help plan the 2011 ride.

Reasons for extra name in the title for this ride:
When many people hear World Naked Bike Ride they laugh it off as crazy nude people on bikes and they disregard it straight away, before understanding what the ride is.  Some people want nothing to do with nudity.  People say the ride is illegal because it is nude.  IT IS NOT A NUDE RIDE!  The ride is a clothing optional ride (Decorated, Clothed, or Naked).   So you dont have to go nude, and even if you do go nude, the legality can be somewhat compared to other peaceful nude events in Australia ; Spencer tunic, a world known artist photoed 100s of nude poeple outside the opera house in about 2009 and that was legal, because it wasnt offensive. Offensive nudity is illegal (Eg flashing) in NSW.
It is a protest ride which gets a lot of media attention drawing attention to the goodness of sustainable pushbike culture, and the badness of car consumer culture.
