The first WNBR was held in Zaragoza, Spain, in 2001 as a response to several cyclist deaths caused by road accidents. In 2003, social activist Conrad Schmidt helped expand the concept, and by 2004, the movement had spread to 28 cities across ten countries. Over the years, the WNBR has grown significantly, with rides now occurring in over 70 cities across 20 different countries each year. By 2010, the movement had expanded to 74 cities in 17 different countries, including the United States, the UK, Hungary, Paraguay, and beyond.
