The global protest against oil dependency and urban pollution rolled through Toronto on Saturday, June 14, 2025 with another local edition of the World Naked Bike Ride. Just show up, take off your clothes and ride through some of the city's most iconic tourist destinations. It's also a great way to celebrate Bike Month.

From
WNBR Toronto's website, "The World Naked Bike Ride is global protest against the over usage of oil and urban pollution, promoting greater cycling safety on our roads, and encouraging body freedom for everyone. This site visually describes the naked protest and environmental awareness event. You are encouraged to join this legal ride. There is no cost, no registration, no cost to the taxpayer, no corporate sponsors and best of all it originated in Vancouver, Canada, and now occurs in over 80 cities worldwide."
Beginning at the military memorial in Coronation Park, just south of Exhibition Place, the riders ventured on an over 4 hour cruise, stopping at places like Queen's Park and the ever popular Nathan Phillips Square down in the shadow of City Hall before returning to Coronation Park. Many also ended the ride by crossing the harbour to Hanlan's Beach. While bikers screamed out "Less Gas, More Ass" many people watched the ride go by, cheering and taking photos.
See the 2026 ride info after the jump.
You can get your bike ready for next year's ride, already scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026.
