DESCRIPTION:Fourth Annual World Naked Bike Ride - Earth Day Celebration Ride\n\n\nIt's 
 that time to tune up those bikes and toss those riding duds in the wash, 
 you won't need them for the World Naked Bike Ride in San Francisco. It's 
 the second WNBR of the year, in conjunction with Earth Day and the fourth 
 anniversary of the British Petroleum Deep Horizon explosion and Macondo 
 Well oil spill disaster, the worst oil spill in history that occurred on 
 April 20, 2010. Ironically, this is environmentalist John Muir's 
 birthday.\n\nIt is time for the Fourth Annual World Naked Bike Ride - Earth 
 Day Celebration Ride.\n\nThe BP oil spill left dead sea life and birds as 
 well as the environmental devastation of the gulf that will impact sea life 
 and the economy of the gulf's fishing industry for decades. With the Japan 
 quake & tsunami 3 years ago all but forgotten, environmental issues are 
 more important than ever. What better way to refresh the public's memory 
 than with a World Naked Bike Ride.\n\nOur San Francisco contingent will 
 meet at 11:00AM at the northeast corner behind the fountain in Justin 
 Herman Plaza. March is generally the onset of spring like warmth and it is 
 now daylight savings, so for late April, it should be a nice day for a 
 WNBR. But we ride rain or shine so no excuses not to be there and bare it 
 out. Our group will have time to gather and renew old acquaintances as well 
 as help initiate new riders. Also slogans and signs can be finalized with 
 body paint & markers. The So-Hemi ride in March 2013 had about a dozen 
 riders that challenged the new SF anti-nudity ordinance with NO 
 CITATIONS!!!\n\nThe ride is scheduled to start at around Noon.\n\nYou 
 decide how much bare you can dare, you can go all out in the joy of sun 
 clad nakedness, go topless, bikinis, body paint or latex, leotard or 
 lingerie, or tuxedos, whatever you feel like. For this ride, however, since 
 an oil spill is the target of our angst, an appropriate statement can be 
 made to mimic spilled oil. Nude riders can use black body paint splattered 
 or coated. Those a little timid about nudity can use black trash bags that 
 resemble spilled oil. Or you can be even more creative and artistic with 
 black latex body paint to achieve a sheen and gloss that really looks like 
 spilled oil. Since it is Earth Day we are celebrating the environment, so 
 if you don't go the bare route or the oil spill look, then adorn yourself 
 with green colors; shoes, hats, scarves, capes, whatever, to promote a 
 greener way of life.\n\nSkates or skateboards have ridden along with us in 
 the past. A couple years ago, we had our first tandem bike. How about a 
 nude unicyclist? And music maestro please. How about some of you musical 
 bikes from Rock The Bike sounding off with us?\n\nAs always, our ride is in 
 continued protest of an unsustainable energy policy in all nations around 
 the globe. We support the innovation of alternate and improved energy 
 technologies, the social commitment to a more sustainable energy 
 consumption and generally the pure fun and joy of riding naked to draw 
 attention to these issues. However, this time the main protest is about the 
 BP oil spill and since this is Earth Day, special reverence for our 
 ecosystem and respect for Mother Earth.\n\nOur ride will focus on downtown 
 SOMA areas, Embarcadero, and many flat areas along the financial area 
 downtown and North Beach. We will go down to Fisherman's Wharf and then 
 back toward the downtown area where we hope to get a friendly response from 
 the Earth Day Festival in the Civic Center.\n\nEarth Day Festival 2014
