The annual World Naked Bike Ride in Portland has been a long-standing tradition for decades. It serves as a protest against dependence on pollution-based transportation. However, in 2024, the city will not see the familiar sight of nude cyclists riding through the streets.
The organizers of the Portland World Naked Bike Ride (PDXWNBR) announced the cancellation of the official 2024 event. They cited delays in planning and recruiting leadership as the reasons behind the decision. Planning such a protest requires months of preparation to ensure safety and accessibility for all participants.
The PDXWNBR organizers emphasized the importance of meeting high standards for the event. They mentioned the need for comprehensive volunteer organization, neighborhood outreach, and coordination with local agencies. Additionally, they highlighted the positive impact of planning on making the protest a welcoming and inclusive experience.
While the cancelation may disappoint some Portland residents, event organizers mentioned alternative opportunities. Monthly full moon rides are one option, and volunteers are sought for the 2025 naked bike ride. Those interested can apply to join the PDXWNBR Leadership Committee by a specified deadline.
The organizers expressed their commitment to ensuring the World Naked Bike Ride is done right in the future. They emphasized the importance of building a diverse team of volunteers and encouraged community members to get involved. They welcome individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds to contribute their leadership skills to the event.
The World Naked Bike Ride in Portland has a rich history, starting in 2004 and becoming one of the city’s largest events by drawing in 10,000 participants in 2019. Despite the cancelation of the 2024 event, organizers are focused on strengthening the event for future years.
