His idea of WNBR evolved out of the Dare to Bare Naked Bike Rides of AFP/AAW, rides organized in protest of Against Consumerism and oil dependency, which took place in downtown Vancouver. He is the presently the principal WNBR global coordinator and both the Vancouver and Canada coordinator for that event. Conrad provided much of the initial script writing for the forms which have made it very easy for individuals to start up their own rides, providing models for other cities to use across the globe. Conrad developed the first WNBR calendar in 2004 and is working on the first global WNBR film, set for release in 2006. Conrad is the author of the new book '' Workers of the World Relax: The Simple Economics of Less Industrial Work ''. He also hosts a bi-weekly radio show called "Pedal Revolutionary" on CITR radio, 101.9FM at the University of British Columbia.
