Join us for a naked lunch, a seaside bike ride in the buff, a paddle in the sea and a naturist beach picnic!
Brighton's fourth World Naked Bike Ride will take place on Sunday 14 June 2009. An amazing 400 riders took part in 2008, 180 in 2007, 160 in 2006, and more are expected in 2009. As of the 2007 ride, following negotiations with Sussex Police, full nudity is permitted at the event.
The event forms the finale to a weekend of southern UK rides, including Southampton and London the two days before. It's therefore possible to take part in all three!
The ride also celebrates Brighton's status as a Cycle Demonstration Town (2009 is Brighton's Year of Walking & Cycling).
If you're interested in riding or getting involved, please join our Yahoo! discussion group. You can also sign up to our event listings at Facebook and Upcoming.
