Please donate to the WNBR UK Fund
The UK World Naked Bike Ride fund meets the cost of insuring rides
across the UK, and provides local organisers with money for
poster/flyer printing, advertising, ride equipment etc.
Please give generously.
Join us for a naked "protestival" ride through the city — followed by a refreshing sea swim and beachfront after-party!
Every year since 2006, Brighton has joined World Naked Bike Rides around the world to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against car culture.
Brighton's World Naked Bike Ride will likely take place on Sunday 9 June 2019 (TBC). This will be our 14th ride. Up to 1,000 riders have taken part in previous peak years (2014 and 2010). Full nudity is permitted at the event, in cooperation with Sussex Police.
The event is one of several UK and worldwide rides happening around the same time, including nearby London, Portsmouth, and Southampton. It is scheduled to allow people to take part in other rides as well, if they like.
The ride is part of national Bike Week (June 2019).
Please join our email list for occasional updates on the ride and related events.
Next ride
Date: Sunday 9 June 2019 – TBC (Countdown!)

Pre-ride events
Planning meet-ups
Please come along if you'd like to get involved in any way or want to find out more, anyone is welcome. We meet at least once a month in the run-up to the ride, from January to June.
Next meeting date/s: See Facebook
In particular, we are keen to find people willing to assist with:
- Setting up and packing away equipment at The Level on the ride day (gazebos, signage, fencing etc). Preferably non-riders, as the packing away must be carried out after the ride sets off.
- Body painting. Skilled body painters sought, an indoor location may be available.
- Organising pre-ride fundraising or after ride social events.
- Marshalling during the ride: Helping to keep riders together and safe, and providing assistance if necessary.
- Stewarding before the ride: Collecting donations, handing out flyers and dealing with intrusive photographers.
- Bike mechanics to assist riders with bike repairs and maintenance before the ride and at the rest stops.
Get involved!
