Naked Bike Rides around the World

Get rid of your love handles, hop on your bike and join the fight.

Sometimes nudity is really just about getting rid of your clothes and worrying. Sometimes it is a statement. A prime example is the World Naked Bike Ride, held annually in 70 cities around the world as a form of protest against car culture and oil dependence, and in the name of a more body-positive society.

Dress codes are “bare if you dare”, body art and costume creativity are encouraged, and any form of human-powered transportation is a valid ride.

Starting at various points in the capital and merging in the centre, the 2015 London edition saw over 1,000 peeled participants take to the streets!

Why be a nudist?

Everything you ever wondered about nudist communities.

Reason #1

Being naked, even for a short time, can help save your life!

Reason #2

Less clothing = less luggage = less hassle.

Reason #3

The skin does not stain.

Nude Beach Etiquette

The clothing may be optional, but these rules to avoid a faux pas at a nudist beach are not.

Don't stare

The main rule of going nude beach. You can look (how can you not look?), but not ogle or yawn.

Leave your camera at home

Another subsection of the larger non-eerie category.

Wear a Towel

Of course you need a towel to lie on the sand.

Apply sunscreen

This is the standard procedure for sunbathing, but it deserves repetition when we talk about sensitive body parts

Keep your distance from others

If you choose a place to sit or lie down, make sure there is enough space between you and the next towel.

Don't try hanky-panky

Lewd behavior, be it with your partner, with someone you just met at the beach,

Frequently Asked Questions

Simply put, nudist communities are places where people live without their clothes. Some are just collections of mobile homes clustered in the same area where clothing is optional, while others are more upscale, such as Caliente Resorts outside Tampa, FL, a walled community of luxury homes that can sell well in the 600k range.

Many of these fancier spots, such as Caliente and Palm Springs’ Desert Sun Resort, have on-site resorts.

Unsurprisingly, the resort functions as a recruitment tool for lifestyle change. “[People] visit, go on nude cruises and nude beaches, and then decide, ‘This is how I want to live my life,’” said Deb Bowen, marketing director of Caliente.

Are the people who live there all swingers?
This is a common misconception, but one that is understandable. Nudists know “people associate them with [swinging] because the only time [plain clothed people] are naked is when they’re having sex or when they’re taking a bath,” explains Mark Storey, advisory editor of The Naturist Society’s N magazine .

Bowen says “there is no connection between nudists and swingers,” but it’s worth noting that Caliente hosts swinger parties on certain weekends. And some of the residents do participate in the ‘lifestyle’, as they call it.

Are the people who live there all super old?
This stereotype is not a misconception. While the age distribution of nudists vacationing at a resort ranges from their 20s to much older, Storey says the people who actually live in nudist communities tend to be retired. “Some people are still working,” he says. “But these are people who have moved from their primary residence to this other resort/resident location, and their job probably won’t suit them.”

Can you just come to a nudist resort?
That’s the idea! For the most part they are just like any other holiday resort. The exception here is that many nudist resorts in the US do not allow single men. Caliente is an outlier in that regard, although single men have to pay more money than a single woman. Couples are always encouraged in all resorts, and even a place like Caliente strives for a good balance of genders.

What do people in nudist communities do?
The residents I spoke to all had a lot of activities that they liked to do naked: collecting the mail, fixing the car, watching an outdoor concert, riding a motorcycle, taking out the trash, walking the dog in the neighborhood, and playing Scrabble outside under a shaded area. Oak.
