We're delighted to welcome organisers from various UK rides to next Monday's (5th June) Forum Live and look forward to finding out more about the history of the event, what it takes to put them on - and what to expect in 2023.
It’s not every day the streets of London are full of naked cyclists - but it is once a year when the World Naked Bike Ride comes to town. This environmental campaign that embraces body freedom has been riding since 2004 and sees thousands of participants in cities around the world.
The London ride regularly attracts over 1,000 riders, but that’s small compared with Portland in the USA where they sometimes get over 10,000. According to the WNBR global wiki, there are over 200 cities in 35 countries that have had WNBR campaigns. There are 33 locations listed in the UK, although not all are currently riding. Typically, there are around 15 UK rides each year, so, if you don’t fancy the bustle of London, how about a pleasant ride around Brighton with a cruise along the seafront, ending with a dip in the sea at the Naturist beach? Or try a tour of other great cities like Cardiff, Edinburgh, Bristol, Manchester and many more.
Are you an organiser of a WNBR? We want to cover as many locations as possible and so if you'd like to be on the panel, please get in touch. Equally, if you are a veteran of the rides and have interesting stories to tell, we'd love to hear from you.
Join the session on the night over in the BN shop
