The Inaugural Naked Bike Ride caused quite a stir last year. Even as the event was announced, a fun-loving fervor immediately spread throughout the city, with riders trying to figure out where the meeting place would be held, and what the route would be. People also wanted to know how far they should go, and how many people would show up.

In the end, there was a much bigger crowd than anyone anticipated – over 300 riders anticipated. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, which paved the way for Year 2, which is now upon us.

On July 9th at 7pm, the second annual Buffalo World Naked Bike Ride will take place. The hope is to beat last year’s record… 500 riders would be magnificent.

“The ride is a happening of people-powered transportation bringing awareness to oil addiction and the negative impacts of car culture. Our naked bodies will symbolize the vulnerability of cyclists on the roads. Cyclists come “as bare as you dare” to the Buffalo Underwear/Naked Ride, to help promote a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world.”

Following are all of the details that you need to know to participate:

The ride will be a few miles around Buffalo. The ride checkpoint will start at a location to be announced between 7 and 7:30 pm. Riders will be sent to the actual start point for the ride from there.

If you want to support the ride off two wheels, you should congregate at Bidwell Parkway and Elmwood Avenue at 8pm.
