9th World Naked Bike Ride in Helsinki Finland WNBR - SAT. 23.07.2022

Join now the most extravagant Many-FIEST-Action of the year!

For the NINTH Time in Finland!

Last year it was memorable with the most hardcore cyclonudista coming to the ride.

Therefore we will do our fantastic ride again on the warmest day of the year!

Protesting against INDECENT exposure to cars and pollution!

Celebrating CYCLING NATURE Human BODY simplicity and FREEDOM of being (naked).

The concept is simple: we do once a year on the hottest sunniest day of the summer a bicycle tour around the city to get the town back from big motorized vehicles shout against pollution cars and hypocritical prudery.

WHERE IT BEGAN

On June 12th 2004 cyclists in 29 cities across the world took to the streets of the world mostly wearing nothing more than a cheeky smile.

It was a huge success and a huge surprise; neither the media nor the police thought that it would happen. This was the world's first international naked bike ride. Since then it has spread to more than 70 cities around the world with thousands of participants.
