Join up for the San Francisco edition of the 2015 World Naked Bike Ride Day. The Southern Hemisphere edition will meet in Justin Herman Plaza between Market Street and the Embarcadero for this international protest of our dependency on oil cartels.

Meet at 11 am for body painting. Bring body paints, washable markers, watercolors or other easily removed media to apply slogans and designs to your bodies if you wish) and then at around noon, you’ll depart from the plaza.

They will ride through many popular spots in the city such as Fisherman’s Wharf, the Marina, along the Embarcadero, Civic Center, the Haight, Castro, and if it is warm enough, Ocean Beach, plus many more places of interest.

Not into biking? Skates, skateboards and even unicyclists have ridden along with them in the past.

How “naked” is this ride? While it is a “naked” bike ride, all are welcome; it’s ride as bare as you dare. That is, body paint, rubber latex, bikinis, topless, lingerie, bubble pack, or wear whatever costume you are comfortable riding in.

They have had seven WNBRs while under cloud of the oppressive Weiner anti-nudity ordinance, with no citations or complaints. If you are still uncertain, then it’s best to have a sarong, a beach wrap, or shorts ready for a quick cover up.

Why are there so many “World Naked Bike Ride Days?” There are several “World Naked Bike Rides” throughout the year. The Northern Hemisphere Ride is generally in June and the Southern Hemisphere Ride is generally in March, but there are a few minor naked bike rides throughout the year. The June ride is the biggest.
