Date: Sunday 15 March 2009 Time: 12 noon Location: Sydney, South West Corner of Sydney Park, St Peters.
The assembly place for the ride is the South West Corner of Sydney Park, St Peters. The closest intersection is the corner of Barwon Park Road and Campbell Road. It is about 600m due South of St Peters Railway Station which is on the Bankstown Line. Time tables for the Bankstown Line on weekends for trains from Town Hall and all stops to St Peters and Liverpool or Strathfiled via Lidcombe to St Peters are available on the CityRail website.
It has been decided that the ride assembly place will also be the body painting place so there is no ride between two separate locations as there was in 2008. Clothing is optional in the World Naked Bike Ride. Riders can keep a minimum amount of clothing until after the ride proper has ridden some distance form the assembly/painting place. This is called: A Rolling Start. In 2008 it became obvious that the presence of the press and public would have saved the riders from harassment from ill-informed and overzealous authorities.
Date: Saturday 14 March 2009 Time: Morning - exact details to be announced Location: Newcastle, near Hamilton Railway Station - exact details to be announced. Planning the WNBR Newcastle 2009 is underway. Please participate in planning decisions by joining the WNBR Newcastle Yahoo! Group. The ride will assemble in the morning of Saturday the 14th of March 2009 somewhere near Hamilton Railway Station. Visitors from out-of-town will be helped with the loan of a bike. Body painting is optional (though encouraged) so you can write slogans and protest messages that tell the public what the ride is about. Body painting will take place at a secret private location. The ride will lead participants to the People's Blockade of the World's Biggest Coal Port which is organised by Rising Tide Grassroots climate action] protest on Newcastle Harbour. It is a great way to get to the People's Blockade of the World's Biggest Coal Port and make an anti-fossil fuel message in a carbon free way.
