UK rides are expected to be planned in a collective manner if possible, and York, London, Cardiff, and Brighton rides adopted this style of organisation.  If Bristol opts to have a ride, we expect it would be organising through open planning meetings where decisions will be taken collectively.  As an interim measure a few riders will act as sole organisers until there are enough people involved to arrange meetings.

''See [[Bristol history]]''
A great ride, without incident, on a warm but overcast day. We had around 210 riders. The route was significantly altered just a few days before the ride to avoid a far-right anti-immigrant march, and two counter-protests. This meant we had to avoid College Green, Hotwells, Millennium Square and the Fountains. We kept in touch with Avon and Somerset police, and went along with their requests. We had one police rider along with us (clothed). Thanks to the route change, we didn't encounter any other protests. A highlight this year was the amazing samba drummers 'Batala', who played in Castle Park. We had two stops there, giving people time for a naked dance. Nearly half the riders were first-timers. No accidents or complaints reported. We had lots of press attention - including [http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/05/people-on-naked-bike-ride-manage-to-avoid-fascists-5925036/ Metro],  [http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/english-defence-league-bristol-naked_uk_57544b13e4b04a0827f1b161 Huffington Post], and [http://indy100.independent.co.uk/article/an-edl-protest-in-bristol-got-well-and-truly-upstaged-by-naked-cyclists--bJmWR8wY6QZ independent.co.uk].

===2015===
 
Over 250 riders - a new record for Bristol, in its sixth World Naked Bike Ride. The Full Moon courtyard was packed! We had great weather and a wonderful atmosphere. There were many first-timers, and we had an overwhelmingly positive response from the public. No confrontations, no police presence, no accidents. Lots of music, dancing, spontaneous high-fives and great body-painted slogans and designs.

'''2011 - 2. Bristol World Naked Bike Ride Big Success Again Again Again!'''
 
"beautiful day and beautiful ride!"
 
A guestimate number of riders 200+ took to the streets of Bristol on Sunday 19th of June 2011
 
"Wow what a joy to come and bring awareness to people of the city, about the cyclist vulnerability !!"
 
 
 
We had funky Inline Roller Skaters come down from Birmingham, what a treat!
 
"Hei GuYs! Had an awesome day in Bristol - beautiful weather mixed well with all the beautiful people there :-) Well done ~ thanks for letting us skate too. Like someone's body paint message said it's all about: Ass power not horse power (or something like that :-)"
 
 
 
It was a smooth running machine of human beings :)
 
 
 
"Naked bike ride at the sunny city of sanctuary today... What a day!!"

'''2010 - 1. Bristol's First World Naked Bike Ride Big Success!!!'''
 
 
 
The new Bristol World Naked Bike Ride on June 13th 2010 was overwhelmingly successful. We were expecting 30-50 people and we got nearer 200. There were tallbikes, a unicyclist, recumbants, tricycles, a pedal powered soundsystem, people of all shapes and sizes, and from all walks of life, Super Cow was there, plenty of Avatars, stripey people, spotty people, pink people and the naked man with big boots on a penny farthing was just a fantastic sight to behold.
 
Under the slogan of '''Healthy Hearts in Car-Free Cities!''' the ride focused on '''promoting the idea of regular Car Free Sundays''', and highlighting proposed traffic free environments in Bristol such as Park Street, Baldwin Street, The Centre, Corn Street...
 
 
 
It was just ridiculously good fun. Again, again, again!! was the cry at the end of the ride. 'Can we do this every Sunday ?!'
 
 
 
It was great to see how everyone stopped in their tracks as the group approached, and as soon as it went there remained a happy buzz in the air with people smiling and laughing.
 
We really made an impact and created awareness of the need and desire for car-free Sundays in city centres.
 
 
 
'''My Bike, My Heart, My City!''' - Have a look on the [http://bristolwnbr.blogspot.com/ Bristol WNBR Blog] for some quotes, a poem and links to loads of pictures.
 
 
 
A big thank you to everyone who came and made this event so fantastic and a regular fixture on the Bristol Calendar!

Vive la Velorution!

'''2006'''
 
A "taster" version of this ride took place on 14 October 2006, as an activity associated with the [http://www.watershed.co.uk/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Watershed.woa/wa/exhibit?object=778 free film screening] at the [http://www.watershed.co.uk/ Watershed Cinema] at 11.45am.  The screening was hosted by the [http://www.wildscreenfestival.org/ Wildscreen Festival], and the numbers at the film were more than the theatre capacity (40?). Following the film, at 12.30pm the riders assembled to set off on an impromptu ride. The police decided to require the riders to cover their "genitals" at the front (for female riders, this meant breasts too). The riders complied, and then set off on a mini ride, in very cold weather. Although the ride was intended to last just 30 minutes, the 17 riders continued for an hour, and managed to pass out all the leaflets they had on hand. By and large, the ride was greeted with support and enthusiasm, and bystanders were able to discern the purpose of the ride (thanks to many signs on bikes). The BBC ([http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/pointswest/ Points West]) filmed the event and included it in the regional TV news reports. There is a [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/6051408.stm short written report on the BBC website] too.  There seems to be enthusiasm for a future ride in Bristol – probably in June 2008.

Planning collective

UK rides are expected to be planned in a collective manner if possible, and York, London, Cardiff, and Brighton rides adopted this style of organisation. Bristol's ride is organised through open planning meetings where decisions are taken collectively.

We have a ride coordinator who will facilitate the ride planning process whether or not there are sufficient people for a planning collective.

Here's what the coordinator normally does:

  • answers people's questions with care and consideration
  • keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are
  • deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level
  • provides email updates to let people know what's going on
  • points out where and when help is needed
  • acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and sometimes mobile phone)
  • maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)

Additional responsibilities that the coordinator may choose to take on:

  • arrange meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes
  • ensure that the collective remains non-hierarchical but organised
  • moderate an email list for Bristol ride planning
