The 11th annual World Naked Bike Ride Buffalo, which was set to happen on August 1st this year, is now off, and representatives of the protest are calling for it to end as they say they have been subjected to threats of violence and even death if they ride naked around Buffalo. Originally starting in 2004, the World Naked Bike Ride has ridden across cities around the world, with people riding bikes naked around various towns and cities as a form of protest against climate change, car culture, and the expansion of greenhouse gases around the world. We ride against car culture and oil dependency, which drive the suffering and subjugation of people around the world. –WNBR BuffaloAugust 1, 2026 would've marked the 11th year the ride would appear in Buffalo, but after thousands of negative comments and social media shares, the ride is no more.
