The World Naked Bike Ride is a global protest movement with rides in cities around the world, raising awareness of issues such as safety of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependence and saving the planet. Let's make the planet great again!
 +
 
 +
WNBR’s themes are to:
 +
* protest against the global dependency on oil
 +
* curb car culture
 +
* obtain real rights for cyclists
 +
* demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets
 +
* celebrate body freedom
 +
 
 +
As well as promoting healthy life choices it can also be the best fun you can ever have on two wheels. The London ride has the excitement of a carnival, with big crowds to cheer it on. It is a "naked bike ride" but you can be "as bare as you dare" - body painting and fancy dress are welcome. It is fun, legal and all in a worthy cause.

<br />'''The traditional date for the ride is the second Saturday in June, so join us on Saturday 8th June 2024.'''
  
The previous London ride was on '''Saturday 10 June 2017'''. We had a great day with over 1,000 riders and huge crowds cheering us on. Media participation and coverage was also good.<br/>
+
The ride has been increasingly popular over the past 20 years, with its fun, attention-grabbing campaign for safer cycling along with healthier environment, lifestyles and behaviours. 2022 was another big ride, with 8 start groups merging into a spectacular rider peloton. Our clicker count was 1,003 riders - but we probably missed a lot of you.
The date for the next ride will not be confirmed until 2018 but we usually aim for the second Saturday in June unless there are conflicting public events scheduled.

'''It's Not the World Naked Bike Ride'''
 +
 
 +
We are riding in August as we cannot ride in June, but we marked the original date of 12th June by again campaigning safely with activities that are “Not the World Naked Bike Ride”. Look out on social media for the tag #NotTheWorldNakedBikeRide.

 +
 
 +
The next London ride will be on the afternoon of '''Saturday 14th August 2021'''. In 2019 we had a great day with over 1,000 riders and huge crowds cheering us on. Media participation and coverage was also good. Let's make it bigger and better this year! -->
 +
<!-- The date coincides with the Trooping of the Colour in the morning, so there should be good crowds to cheer us on and maybe our riders will once again sing Happy Birthday to the Queen.

London World Naked Bike Ride

The World Naked Bike Ride is a global protest movement with rides in cities around the world, raising awareness of issues such as safety of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependence and saving the planet. Let's make the planet great again!

WNBR’s themes are to:

  • protest against the global dependency on oil
  • curb car culture
  • obtain real rights for cyclists
  • demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets
  • celebrate body freedom

As well as promoting healthy life choices it can also be the best fun you can ever have on two wheels. The London ride has the excitement of a carnival, with big crowds to cheer it on. It is a "naked bike ride" but you can be "as bare as you dare" - body painting and fancy dress are welcome. It is fun, legal and all in a worthy cause.

Things you might need to know about the London ride

Getting involved

We hold monthly planning meetings before the ride: anyone is welcome to come along, and we reach decisions by consensus. We also rely on people to volunteer on the day, either as marshals, stewards, or first aiders. The more people we have to help out, the smoother the ride is for everyone. If you can help, please let us know!
