HCN Announces WNBR in June, 2012

Greetings AANR-SW friends!

Hill Country Nudists has some exciting news to share with the region and is asking you share it
with all of your members and guests.

Steve Bosbach, President of HCN has announced that the World Naked Bike Ride is set for June 9, 2012.

 Following is an excerpt from the HCN website.

World Naked Bike Ride is coming to Austin this year on June 9, the same as many other cities around the country and northern hemisphere. WNBR is a celebration of life on two wheels and a demonstration of efficient, sustainable transportation in the ever growing sea of steel gas guzzlers. If you commute by bicycle, as many students and downtown workers do, or just get out for an occasional recreational ride, you know how vulnerable you feel in the traffic mix. We are naked, if you will, amidst the herd of cars and trucks. We ride nude to show how vulnerable the cyclist is and the need for better bikeways and safety measures for bicycling as transportation.

So this is both a celebration and a political statement to build awareness of cycling as legitimate transportation and the joy of moving yourself under your own power.

Join HCN and others as we take to the streets on June 9th. We’ll start with some body painting and slogan making, then head out on a relatively short ride with several stops to make sure everyone stays together. Details for start location and possible after ride party will be coming.

I’m looking for volunteers to handle pre-ride body paint, sign making, pre-ride bike safety checks and repairs, security, photo documentation, and monitors. Please lend a hand, even if you don’t plan to ride.

Contact me asap if you can lend a hand with this event. You can also keep up to date by checking the event on www.meetup.com/hill-country-nudists/. I’ll keep the latest information there and you can check into the event to show you will be attending.

Steve
