  sending e-vites, body paint, supplies/materials acquisitions, ride leader volunteer, etc.
  
  Contact the organizers of that particular event for more information regarding volunteer services and donations.

  Hmmnn ... What to wear? What to wear?
  
  Dress code:'' Bare as you dare. How bare is that? How much do you dare? It's all up to you: you decide what you are comfortable with.
  
  There will be plenty of people who will cycle fully nude, so don't feel that it is your duty to do this, if you aren't comfortable showing all of your body.
  Respect your own boundaries, and go As Bare As You Dare! '' wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org
  
  Wear a costume, your birthday suit, or whatever you feel like wearing or not, butmost importantly, come join the ride.
  
  Nudity is optional, not mandatory to join/ride a WNBR event.

  Anyone for a road trip?
  
  If you want to participate at a World Naked Bike Ride but the event is too distant from your place of residence,
  you may want to contact and make arrangements in advance with other people who will be attending the ride, and discuss
  splitting the cost of transportation and (maybe) lodging.

  Yes, it is a lot of fun!Expect lot's of cheering fans lining the streets, if the event was well publicized where you are.  Some are daytime events and some are night time events. The ones I have attended always had a fun party for all the riders after the ride... and a warm-up party to get prepared, before the ride ... decorating bikes... bodies, and making signs, or other activities.  :-)

  (A reply to a post from World Naked Bike Ride group)
  
  [quote]... On too many occassions the organizers don't have enough volunteers, or the long time organizers become tired of doing the work.[/quote] Thank you for pointing that out.
  
  From a rider's(not a volunteer) point of view, "Oh look, there's a date for the ride. We gather at this location and we ride." simple enough, right?
  
  There's more to it than posting a date on social media websites and watching the counter to see how many will participate in the event.
  
  It looks simple and easy but a lot of hard work (planning, preparation, legalities, press) and money (permits, police escort, staging area, etc) go into that event, byunpaid volunteers, to make it possible for a vast number of people.
  
  
  
  [quote]... organizers become tired of doing the work. The ride goes away.[/quote] That's a good point.
  
  
  And here's recent proof...
  
  "Cyclists strip off for Melbourne's final nude bike ride" -> www.theage.com.au/victoria/cyclists-strip-off-for-melbournes-final-nude-bike-ride-20160228-gn5tak.html
  
  
  
  After all these years, Melbourne World Naked Bike Ride has beenTERMINATED. It'sOVER,GONE.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Whatever you can do to help your particular bike ride such as, donate money, time, labor, materials, etc,please volunteerand assist in some capacity.
  The more people volunteer to help, the better we can keep the ride going for the foreseeable future, get our message across, and prevent another bike ride from collapsing.

  Some cities have tolerated nudity in the past but may not tolerate it this time.
  When in doubt, visit their official website or social media sites(twitter, facebook, etc) and contact the organizers of the event.

  Toronto is this weekend, while I am not riding I was going to go and support a few friends who are. The weather forecast isn't great at this point with 60% chance of rain and thunderstorms.
