| CONSTITUTION OF THE FOUR SEASONS RIDES ONLY |
| The Four Seasons Collective exists to support, coordinate, and uphold the values of the World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) within the Four Seasons network of rides. The WNBR is a global, peaceful, celebratory environmental protest highlighting the vulnerability of cyclists, the harms of car culture, and the urgent need for sustainable transport. By riding clothing-optional, participants symbolise both personal freedom and the exposure cyclists face on city streets. This Constitution establishes the shared principles, responsibilities, and standards that guide all Four Seasons rides. |
