🚴‍♀️ WNBR CHICAGO 2025 – RIDER CHECKLIST 🚴🏽‍♂️
📅 Ride Day: Saturday, July 12th, 2025
Let’s keep it safe, respectful, and unforgettable!

✅ BEFORE YOU RIDE
☐ Wear a helmet – It’s not optional. Protect your head in case of a fall. Your safety comes first.
☐ Hydrate – Bring a bottle (or two) of water. Sip throughout the ride.
☐ Fuel up – Eat beforehand and pack a light snack, sandwich, or electrolyte drink. There will not be a food truck post-ride.
☐ Pack a cover-up – A sarong, towel, or light wrap can help protect your comfort during stops or slowdowns.
☐ Dress smart – "Bare as you dare" doesn’t mean reckless. Wear good shoes, sun protection, and something minimal to stay legal (Chicago law prohibits full nudity).

🚲 DURING THE RIDE
☐ Stick together – Stay with the group, especially if you're new. Don’t ride alone or near the outer edges.
☐ Look out for others – Check in on fellow riders who may be struggling or need support.
☐ Celebrate the mission – Remember why we ride:
✅ Body Positivity
✅ Cyclist Safety
✅ Environmental Awareness
☐ Be kind and grateful – Thank volunteers, police officers, and ride marshals. They’re the reason this ride can happen!

🏁 AFTER THE RIDE
☐ Lost something? – Double-check your belongings. If you find an item, bring it to the after-party or follow the moderator’s instructions on Facebook.
☐ Keep it classy – Save the partying for after the ride. Celebrate responsibly.

🙌 Thank you for being part of this powerful movement. Your presence matters. Your energy inspires. Ride safe, ride free, ride with pride.

Real Talk: Wear Your Helmet.

Hey fam—quick but important note for this year’s World Naked Bike Ride:

Please wear a helmet.
Last year, one of our riders took a fall and was knocked unconscious. It was scary—and a sobering reminder that even in moments of joy and freedom, safety has to come first.

The ride is fun, wild, and unforgettable—but it’s still on city streets, with potholes, curbs, unexpected turns, and a whole lot of movement. A helmet could be the one thing that keeps a great night from turning into a serious injury.

So no shame, no pressure to be cool—just be smart. Show up with your full self and your head protected.

Let’s ride bold and safe this year.
We want you to finish the night standing, smiling, and proud.

See you on July 12th.
Helmet on. Skin out.

You're Invited: Ride Free, Ride Bold at the World Naked Bike Ride – Chicago
Hey Beautiful Human,
Chicago’s streets are calling—and we want you to ride with us.
On Saturday, July 12th, the city becomes our canvas. We strip down not just our clothes, but our fears, our shame, and anything holding us back. Whether you bare it all or just a little, this ride is about freedom, body positivity, safety in numbers, and radical self-expression.
Why Do It?
• Make a Statement: We ride against oil dependency, pollution, and car culture—and for cyclists’ rights and body acceptance.
• Feel the Energy: Chicago is electric in the summer—its skyline, its lakefront breeze, its people. There’s no city more alive to ride through naked and proud.
• Celebrate You: All bodies are beautiful. Come as you are. Express what you stand for. Leave the insecurities behind.
• Join a Movement: Be part of something that’s fun, rebellious, and unforgettable. You’ll never look at a bike—or your body—the same way again.
Pre-Ride Green Room:
🕕 6:00–8:00 PM
This is your time to meet up, get painted, pose with your crew, and decide just how naked you want to be.
📍Location is private until closer to the date—no paparazzi, no pressure. Just us.
Want to Volunteer or Get Involved?
We need body painters, marshals, hype crew, and passionate souls. Message us if you want to do more than ride.

Come for the cause. Stay for the rush. Leave your clothes and your worries behind.
We can’t wait to ride with you.
