Giddy Up for 2026 World Naked Bike Rides Across the USA!

Nice.

If I had money to go, I would.

Unfortunately, I live with my parents and my dad refuses to get me even a used Hybrid Car or All-Electric Vehicle Car. I wish I had an EV for sure, so that way I didn't have to pay for gas! So Gas costs money, and I unfortunately have to pay money to pay for gas for my car, or to buy an airplane ticket that costs like 1,500 dollars or more, in order to get there.

I will not be doing anything outdoors that is nudist-related in my HOME STATE since there is an ONGOING GOVERNMENT CRACKDOWN on NUDISM as STATE POLICY that has been in place since AT LEAST the 1980s!!!

Those stupid state laws restricting PUBLIC NUDITY need to be REPEALED in MISSISSIPPI and in LOUISIANA!!

I live in Jackson, the Capitol of Mississippi, and CAPITOL POLICE ARE SUPER-EVIL!! They are like Lex Luther in Superman, they are the bad guys!

They would always restrict nudity if they could be or already are able to track the nudists down.

The USA in many aspects is becoming TOO MUCH LIKE RUSSIA since 2016 or earlier!

It really sucks to be a nudist in a RED STATE like MISSISSIPPI!

I wish we could quit thinking in terms of RED STATES AND BLUE STATES and just see each other as Fellow Citizens!! It sucks!!

My WNBR schedule is up in the air this summer. I usually drive up to Buffalo to visit family in June and go to the Toronto ride, although last summer I drove all the way up there and forgot my passport. I also go up there in August for the Buffalo ride that is my only annual event since I can combine that with visiting family in Buffalo and friends in the Central NY State area.
This year the June trip looks unlikely since I am working on a major remodel job on a house I bought to resell. I am behind schedule and over budget (not enough to qualify as a government contractor though) but I doubt it will be ready in time to make the June Trip
I may do the San Francisco ride in fall. I have enough points to fly out there for free so all I would need is a room and bike rental. Have to wait and see how things work out. Montreal later this summer may be possible too.

I have heard Montreal is a really cool city with a lot to do.

I would do that then San Francisco if I had the money or creditcard airmiles points to go travel for that.

I cannot go right now because of my own personal finances, and I do not want to recieve grants or gifts or borrow money from other people with strings attached to go anywhere outside my state right now.

If I go anywhere this year I might try to drive to Florida, but I really do not think I have the money to do even that.

I think a lot of people around my age (29) do not have a lot of money to travel right now a lot. So I know this is not that abnormal for my generation, which is Generation Z or people born between January 1 1996 and January 1 2013. Since I am a 20 something aged 29 years old, I am considered to be inside Gen Z since I was born in 1997.

Thanks for reading this post!

Are all these events still going on, with what is going on in the Canary Islands right now?? Will any events later get cancelled??

I never was planning to go, I just want to know it is not cancelled, just in case someone else wanted to know if these events are still going on.

Thanks in advanced for any response.

It's a possibility, but highly unlikely.

Each participating city, such as Portland, Los Angeles,
Toronto, Chicago, Amsterdam, etc., has WNBR organizers.

These organizers are responsible for
cancelling, green lighting, or postponing
their own WNBR event for whatever reason that may be.

Each organizers have their own social media page or website
to inform those who want to attend their WNBR the status of the ride.

Until the organizers make an official announcement of cancelling of their ride,
the World Naked Bike Ride event on those dates and in those cities are happening.

What is going on in the Canary Islands that could affect WNBR's elsewhere?

How about New Orleans? Less than 3 hours by car from where you live.

I am not sure about New Orleans, that is the closest area nearest to me hosting a World Naked Bike Ride.

There is a lot of crime even in the French Quarter in New Orleans. New Orleans is a large city with a VERY high crime rate.

Their crime rate is literally the only other one higher than Saint Louis and my home city Jackson.

I think the world naked bike ride event in New Orleans all sound nice anyway.

I am just in a bad financial sitaution right now due to the costs of living going way way up in the last seven years. I have been in a heavy personal finance crisis in my life since 2019.

I now am very very poor in personal income by most people's standards even for a single person living with parents because the cost of living has gone up so much since I was in my junior year of university in the university academic year of August 2019 - May 2020.

I full-time moved back in with my parents to live with them full-time around Summer of 2019, in between my junior and senior year of university.

I dropped out of university in Spring 2024 finally without having completed my bachelor's degree without a post-secondary degree.

I was not using truenudists during that time.

I started using truenudists.com in or around August 2024 or so, but I was a nudist a long time before then.

I had a lot of mental health trouble in 2020 and 2021 and later years. I previously was struggling with mental health trouble before that time.

I personally do not want to travel anywhere for the W.N.B.R. for the foreseeable future.

I definitely am a fan of the W.N.B.R, but there are travel costs and cost considerations.

I simply cannot afford gas prices in the United States. I guess you could call me a very poor nudist.

I am thinking aboout getting an EV or a hybrid, but I still do not have support of my parents to get an EV or Hybrid because of their constrains on their own income due to the decline of their income from the downfall of their small business. They keep saying I need to wait until they have more money to get an EV or Hybrid due to the potential repair costs for the batteries for EV or Hybrid cars.

There is not good Public Transport in Jackson.

I always think of the least among us and try to be charitable to NGOs, but I never give in large amounts. I barely give any money away to charity right now.

I have a very very low income, my parents have a higher than me income but cannot afford to support more than poverty level income.

I currently have a job at some small-employee-number small-sized business in the united states.

I do not want to work for too much so that way I do not have to pay taxes. I try to avoid making income above the taxation threshold after which Income at higher levels than the taxation threshold must be taxed.

I am trying to avoid making enough money to be taxed, at levels beneath 5975 United States Dollars. So that way I can avoid making too much money where the government has to be required to tax me.

I live with my parents as an adult dependent child of my parents.

I work and earn a very low income, and I supplant my income with an allowance at an extremely low monetary amount that is given to me from my father. He and I both agreed not to give me an allowance at levels higher than where my allowance and work income add up to be larger than the tax threshold, so I can keep more of a percentage of my income.

I agreed willingly to not maitain any income higher than the taxation threshold minimum income level for taxability of income for taxation, which is at least 12,999. Again the taxable income threshold in the United States is 12,999. State minimum income tax income threshold is 10,000 United States Dollars for income tax in Mississippi.

I did my research, the tax rate is a flat 4% for income tax at the state, which you pay on top of paying previous federal income taxes in Every State in the United States for whatever income level federal taxes require you to pay taxes to the Federal Government.

My estimated personal income is below 5975 United States Dollars, well below the minimum threshold for income levels that are taxable, which is 10,000 United States Dollars in Mississippi. My personal income hovers between 3,550 and 5900 United States Dollars per year annually. I have never made above 20,000 United States dollars in any given year ever in the entire history of my life, since I took time away from work to be at university from year 2017 to 2024.

I basically cannot afford monthly recurring fees. I switched any subscriptions I have to a yearly rate as opposed to a monthly rate whenever I could in 2024 and cancelled all the rest of the subscription services.

Right now, it is actually rather comfortable, since it is just me, my mom, and my dad in their home. I do not own any home or rent any home at age 29, because I actually have the best parents in the world, including my dad who knows how to navigate the tax system since he owns his declining buisness and relies on a tax accountant and tax lawyer. I still can drive a car locally in the Jackson area from the neighborhood in Jackson where I live. It is rather sad that my money is worthless at the money that I make, but I also know and am aware that I live way richer than people in the United States of America living off $3 United States Dollars per day, which is the global extreme poverty threshold or about 1095 United States Dollars.

I just make Three Multiples of the income of those living in Extreme Poverty Globally.

My steady stream of income is not much, but I would rather be stable and poor than be rich and unstable.

I am always thinking of those in global south nations that live in actual extreme poverty, in places like DR Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique, and Nepal, and Haiti, and Yemen. I am constantly thinking about rural people living without internet in lands far away from modern advancements in income and prosperity. I always think about how tragic it is that so much actual less than $1095 United States Dollars Income individuals suffer through extreme poverty.

It is so sad that the world is existing poorer than it did in the past due to the Trillionaires and Billionaires and politicians.

Thanks.
