Volunteer Parking – Enter City LA Parking Lot 7 (140 Judge John Aiso St, Los Angeles, CA 90012). Pay attendant $7 per vehicle so carpooling is encouraged. After paying, look for the orange vest volunteer that will instruct you were to park and how to get to our staging area. There is no in and out.

Registration Process – If you haven't pre-registered online, all riders need to register in person at the registration table. To speed up the process please read the ride rules we posted on our Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WNBRLA/) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/wnbr_los_angeles/) pages, or at the staging area. After confirming you have read the rules and we have verified you have a bicycle you will receive a wristband and a ride sticker. Then you can proceed to the body painting or photo back drop area.

Body Painting – We will have a station set up for body painting and a few volunteers. Donations of additional paint, color pens, brushes, is appreciated.

Bicycles – This is a bike ride. Electric bicycles or scooters are permitted. Make sure your bike is in good working conditions. Both rides this year are approximately 7 miles long. Feel free to bring decorations for your bike. No motorcycles.

Signs – Jim, one of our annual volunteers since 2011 will have his stand with signs available to attach to your bikes.

Nude Is Not Lewd – The ride is as "Bare as you Dare", nudity is not required. Costumes, masks, and wigs are acceptable. Please be aware that most legal interpretations of “lewd” are not limited to explicit sexual activity but any action, behavior or conduct, intended to arouse oneself or another person and draw special attention towards a person’s genitals. For this reason, cock rings, fetish gear, and visible erections are unacceptable. Cover up if necessary. Anyone that does not follow these simple rules will be asked to leave and could be cited by LAPD.

PHOTOGRAPHY - Most of the ride will be on public roads and many bystanders will take your picture as you pass. It is legal for them to do so and everyone has a camera nowadays. If you don’t want to be photographed, don’t ride. Wigs, dark glasses, and other forms of disguise that do not affect your ability to ride are allowed.

PLEASE READ THE RIDE RULES POSTED ON OUR FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM PAGES BEFORE YOU REGISTER.
