'''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 fifth [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] will probably take place around the weekend of 11-13 June 2010 (possibly [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/46171/ Sunday 13 June 2010] – TBC). An astonishing 700 riders took part in 2009 (up from 400, 180 and 160 in previous years). More are expected in 2010. As of the 2007 ride, following negotiations with Sussex Police, full nudity is permitted at the event.'''

'''The event in 2009 formed the finale to a weekend of [[List of rides#UK|seven UK rides]], including [[Southampton]] and [[London]] the two days before, which allowed people to take part in three southern rides!'''

The ride also took place during [http://www.journeyon.co.uk/cycling_91.asp Bike Week] (14-21 June 2009) and Brighton's Year of Walking & Cycling. It also celebrates [http://www.dft.gov.uk/cyclingengland/cycling-cities-towns/brighton/ Brighton's status] as a [http://www.dft.gov.uk/cyclingengland/cycling-cities-towns/ Cycle Demonstration Town].
