==Previous Rides==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  The event started in 2004 with 58 participants and has had 1,000-1,200 participants each year since 2007.  Read about the previous rides on the [[London_history]] page.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Thinking of Taking Part in the London World Naked Bike Ride?==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; some years they have assisted with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).  In recent years they have left us to our own devices as we are considered a well run event that doesn't require close monitoring.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2012 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Nudity during the ride===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police and get cooperation from the authorities in future years.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  With no budget and no ability to erect any sort of barriers, the start is very difficult for us to control.  There will be lots of people there with cameras and there isn't much we can do about it.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that if you are uncomfortable getting undressed with all of the photographers around only need to get undressed just before the ride starts.  If you wear clothes that can be quickly removed, you could leave the park dressed, pull over, remove your clothes and rejoin the ride.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Traffic and congestion WILL cause the protest to stop for several minutes at various points throughout the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Photography===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Slogans and Decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The World Naked Bike Ride is a protest event designed to raise awareness of issues important to the people taking part.  While many of the participants enjoy being out in the city naked on a bicycle, the event is a protest and the more we get our [[About|messages]] across, the more legitimacy the protest can claim.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Decorating you and your bike helps us get the message across and hopefully helps you have some more fun too.  Tactically placed body paint can also be a good way to go naked but not put everything on display if that's important to you.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Decoration and leaflets===&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:LondonBikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another option is [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/14808.aspx Barclays Cycle Hire]. However, this is intended for short journeys, so please make sure that you understand the costs involved. If you rent a bike for 3-6 hours, you pay £1 for the access fee and £35 for the usage fee! This is quite plausible, since the London ride assembles at 15:00 and normally finishes at about 18:00. Also, you may not be able to collect or return a bike at the nearest docking station, if it's empty at the start and full at the end, so you need to allow for extra travelling time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are hiring a bike, and you have a bare bum, please cover the saddle. This will protect you from any dirt, as well as being polite to the next person who uses the bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Skate rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain, but it just might be shortened. If so, follow the Marshals' instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In any case bring warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a five-day weather forecast, visit one of  [http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/london_forecast_weather.html Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=LONDON MetCheck] or [http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/8?&amp;amp;showDay=A BBC Weather] (and choose day).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===PA equipment===&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Health &amp;amp; safety===&lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bicycles are to be ridden in a manner appropriate for use on the road.  All riders should be seated on appropriate seats in line with The Highway Code.  Don't take passengers on luggage racks or handlebars.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
If you still have questions, see the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 9 June 2012|Time=3pm assembly, for 3.30pm departure|Location=Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner '''(NOT in Hyde Park)'''}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Things to Know==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police. Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride on the island inside the Hyde Park Corner roundabout, near the Wellington Arch ([http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00pm. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&lt;br /&gt;
See below - [[London_ride#Body painting | Body Painting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2011 (a circular 9 mile (14km) route of mostly flat cycling). The 2012 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for 2011 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1007723#lat=51.5065&amp;amp;lng=-0.11982&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;type=0 here]. The list of streets can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].  It is intended to use the same or very similar route in 2012 but this is subject to confirmation with the relevant authorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride. Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one whose friends decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though the route will be circular in 2012, there is no plan to provide secure storage while we are doing the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride! In 2011 it took 2.5 hours and we still managed to lose people at traffic lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. a circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this time there are no official after ride parties planned for 2012.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Body painting==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints are welcome to do so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Planning Your Body Paint'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available at the start.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;

'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police. Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride on the island inside the Hyde Park Corner roundabout, near the Wellington Arch ([http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00pm. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&lt;br /&gt;
See below - [[London_ride#Body painting | Body Painting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2011 (a circular 9 mile (14km) route of mostly flat cycling). The 2012 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride. Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one whose friends decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride! In 2011 it took 2.5 hours and we still managed to lose people at traffic lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. a circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this time there are no official after ride parties planned for 2012.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for 2011 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1007723#lat=51.5065&amp;amp;lng=-0.11982&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;type=0 here]. The list of streets can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].  It is intended to use the same or very similar route in 2012 but this is subject to confirmation with the relevant authorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Body painting==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints are welcome to do so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Planning Your Body Paint'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available at the start.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==Previous Rides==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  The event started in 2004 with 58 participants and has had 1,000-1,200 participants each year since 2007.  Read about the previous rides on the [[London_history]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 9 June 2012|Time=3pm assembly, for 3.30pm departure|Location=Hyde Park. }}&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thinking of Taking Part in the London World Naked Bike Ride?==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; some years they have assisted with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).  In recent years they have left us to our own devices as we are considered a well run event that doesn't require close monitoring.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2012 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Nudity during the ride===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police and get cooperation from the authorities in future years.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  With no budget and no ability to erect any sort of barriers, the start is very difficult for us to control.  There will be lots of people there with cameras and there isn't much we can do about it.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that if you are uncomfortable getting undressed with all of the photographers around only need to get undressed just before the ride starts.  If you wear clothes that can be quickly removed, you could leave the park dressed, pull over, remove your clothes and rejoin the ride.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Traffic and congestion WILL cause the protest to stop for several minutes at various points throughout the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Photography===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Slogans and Decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The World Naked Bike Ride is a protest event designed to raise awareness of issues important to the people taking part.  While many of the participants enjoy being out in the city naked on a bicycle, the event is a protest and the more we get our [[About|messages]] across, the more legitimacy the protest can claim.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Decorating you and your bike helps us get the message across and hopefully helps you have some more fun too.  Tactically placed body paint can also be a good way to go naked but not put everything on display if that's important to you.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Decoration and leaflets===&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:LondonBikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another option is [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/14808.aspx Barclays Cycle Hire]. However, this is intended for short journeys, so please make sure that you understand the costs involved. If you rent a bike for 3-6 hours, you pay £1 for the access fee and £35 for the usage fee! This is quite plausible, since the London ride assembles at 15:00 and normally finishes at about 18:00. Also, you may not be able to collect or return a bike at the nearest docking station, if it's empty at the start and full at the end, so you need to allow for extra travelling time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are hiring a bike, and you have a bare bum, please cover the saddle. This will protect you from any dirt, as well as being polite to the next person who uses the bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Skate rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain, but it just might be shortened. If so, follow the Marshals' instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In any case bring warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a five-day weather forecast, visit one of  [http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/london_forecast_weather.html Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=LONDON MetCheck] or [http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/8?&amp;amp;showDay=A BBC Weather] (and choose day).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===PA equipment===&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Health &amp;amp; safety===&lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bicycles are to be ridden in a manner appropriate for use on the road.  All riders should be seated on appropriate seats in line with The Highway Code.  Don't take passengers on luggage racks or handlebars.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Previous Rides==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  The event started in 2004 with 58 participants and has had 1,000-1,200 participants each year since 2007.  Read about the previous rides on the [[London_history]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 9 June 2012|Time=3pm assembly, for 3.30pm departure|Location=Hyde Park. }}&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thinking of Taking Part in the London World Naked Bike Ride?==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; some years they have assisted with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).  In recent years they have left us to our own devices as we are considered a well run event that doesn't require close monitoring.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2012 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Nudity during the ride===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police and get cooperation from the authorities in future years.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  With no budget and no ability to erect any sort of barriers, the start is very difficult for us to control.  There will be lots of people there with cameras and there isn't much we can do about it.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that if you are uncomfortable getting undressed with all of the photographers around only need to get undressed just before the ride starts.  If you wear clothes that can be quickly removed, you could leave the park dressed, pull over, remove your clothes and rejoin the ride.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Traffic and congestion WILL cause the protest to stop for several minutes at various points throughout the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Photography===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Slogans and Decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The World Naked Bike Ride is a protest event designed to raise awareness of issues important to the people taking part.  While many of the participants enjoy being out in the city naked on a bicycle, the event is a protest and the more we get our [[About|messages]] across, the more legitimacy the protest can claim.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Decorating you and your bike helps us get the message across and hopefully helps you have some more fun too.  Tactically placed body paint can also be a good way to go naked but not put everything on display if that's important to you.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Decoration and leaflets===&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:LondonBikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another option is [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/14808.aspx Barclays Cycle Hire]. However, this is intended for short journeys, so please make sure that you understand the costs involved. If you rent a bike for 3-6 hours, you pay £1 for the access fee and £35 for the usage fee! This is quite plausible, since the London ride assembles at 15:00 and normally finishes at about 18:00. Also, you may not be able to collect or return a bike at the nearest docking station, if it's empty at the start and full at the end, so you need to allow for extra travelling time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are hiring a bike, and you have a bare bum, please cover the saddle. This will protect you from any dirt, as well as being polite to the next person who uses the bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Skate rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain, but it just might be shortened. If so, follow the Marshals' instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In any case bring warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Previous Rides==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  The event started in 2004 with 58 participants and has had 1,000-1,200 participants each year since 2007.  Read about the previous rides on the [[London_history]] page.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Thinking of Taking Part in the London World Naked Bike Ride?==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; some years they have assisted with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).  In recent years they have left us to our own devices as we are considered a well run event that doesn't require close monitoring.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2012 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Nudity during the ride===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police and get cooperation from the authorities in future years.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  With no budget and no ability to erect any sort of barriers, the start is very difficult for us to control.  There will be lots of people there with cameras and there isn't much we can do about it.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that if you are uncomfortable getting undressed with all of the photographers around only need to get undressed just before the ride starts.  If you wear clothes that can be quickly removed, you could leave the park dressed, pull over, remove your clothes and rejoin the ride.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Traffic and congestion WILL cause the protest to stop for several minutes at various points throughout the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Photography===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Slogans and Decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The World Naked Bike Ride is a protest event designed to raise awareness of issues important to the people taking part.  While many of the participants enjoy being out in the city naked on a bicycle, the event is a protest and the more we get our [[About|messages]] across, the more legitimacy the protest can claim.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Decorating you and your bike helps us get the message across and hopefully helps you have some more fun too.  Tactically placed body paint can also be a good way to go naked but not put everything on display if that's important to you.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Decoration and leaflets===&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:LondonBikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another option is [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/14808.aspx Barclays Cycle Hire]. However, this is intended for short journeys, so please make sure that you understand the costs involved. If you rent a bike for 3-6 hours, you pay £1 for the access fee and £35 for the usage fee! This is quite plausible, since the London ride assembles at 15:00 and normally finishes at about 18:00. Also, you may not be able to collect or return a bike at the nearest docking station, if it's empty at the start and full at the end, so you need to allow for extra travelling time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are hiring a bike, and you have a bare bum, please cover the saddle. This will protect you from any dirt, as well as being polite to the next person who uses the bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Skate rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain, but it just might be shortened. If so, follow the Marshals' instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In any case bring warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Slogans and Decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The World Naked Bike Ride is a protest event designed to raise awareness of issues important to the people taking part.  While many of the participants enjoy being out in the city naked on a bicycle, the event is a protest and the more we get our [[About|messages]] across, the more legitimacy the protest can claim.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Decorating you and your bike helps us get the message across and hopefully helps you have some more fun too.  Tactically placed body paint can also be a good way to go naked but not put everything on display if that's important to you.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Decoration and leaflets===&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Bike rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:LondonBikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another option is [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/14808.aspx Barclays Cycle Hire]. However, this is intended for short journeys, so please make sure that you understand the costs involved. If you rent a bike for 3-6 hours, you pay £1 for the access fee and £35 for the usage fee! This is quite plausible, since the London ride assembles at 15:00 and normally finishes at about 18:00. Also, you may not be able to collect or return a bike at the nearest docking station, if it's empty at the start and full at the end, so you need to allow for extra travelling time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are hiring a bike, and you have a bare bum, please cover the saddle. This will protect you from any dirt, as well as being polite to the next person who uses the bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Skate rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain, but it just might be shortened. If so, follow the Marshals' instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In any case bring warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a five-day weather forecast, visit one of  [http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/london_forecast_weather.html Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=LONDON MetCheck] or [http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/8?&amp;amp;showDay=A BBC Weather] (and choose day).&lt;br /&gt;

*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===PA equipment===  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Health &amp;amp; safety=== &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bicycles are to be ridden in a manner appropriate for use on the road.  All riders should be seated on appropriate seats in line with The Highway Code.  Don't take passengers on luggage racks or handlebars.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Previous Rides==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  The event started in 2004 with 58 participants and has had 1,000-1,200 participants each year since 2007.  Read about the previous rides on the [[London_history]] page.&lt;br /&gt;

==Thinking of Taking Part in the London World Naked Bike Ride?==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; some years they have assisted with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).  In recent years they have left us to our own devices as we are considered a well run event that doesn't require close monitoring.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2012 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Nudity during the ride===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police and get cooperation from the authorities in future years.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  With no budget and no ability to erect any sort of barriers, the start is very difficult for us to control.  There will be lots of people there with cameras and there isn't much we can do about it.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that if you are uncomfortable getting undressed with all of the photographers around only need to get undressed just before the ride starts.  If you wear clothes that can be quickly removed, you could leave the park dressed, pull over, remove your clothes and rejoin the ride.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Traffic and congestion WILL cause the protest to stop for several minutes at various points throughout the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Photography===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 9 June 2012|Time=3pm assembly, for 3.30pm departure|Location=Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;(NOT in Hyde Park)&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Things to Know==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride on the island inside the Hyde Park Corner roundabout, near the Wellington Arch ([http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below - [[London_ride#Body painting | Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2011 (a circular 9 mile (14km) route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2012 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
About 9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.  In 2011 it took 2.5 hours and we still managed to lose people at traffic lights.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. a circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
At this time there are no official after ride parties planned for 2012.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for 2011 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1007723#lat=51.5065&amp;amp;lng=-0.11982&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;type=0 here]. The list of streets can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].  It is intended to use the same or very similar route in 2012 but this is subject to confirmation with the relevant authorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Planning Your Body Paint'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 9 June 2012|Time=3pm assembly, for 3.30pm departure|Location=Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;(NOT in Hyde Park)&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Things to Know==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride on the island inside the Hyde Park Corner roundabout, near the Wellington Arch ([http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below - [[London_ride#Body painting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2011 (a circular 9 mile (14km) route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2012 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
About 9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.  In 2011 it took 2.5 hours and we still managed to lose people at traffic lights.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. a circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
At this time there are no official after ride parties planned for 2012.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for 2011 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1007723#lat=51.5065&amp;amp;lng=-0.11982&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;type=0 here]. The list of streets can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].  It is intended to use the same or very similar route in 2012 but this is subject to confirmation with the relevant authorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Planning Your Body Paint'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 9 June 2012|Time=3pm assembly, for 3.30pm departure|Location=Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;(NOT in Hyde Park)&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Things to Know==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride on the island inside the Hyde Park Corner roundabout, near the Wellington Arch ([http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Plans for organised bodypainting in 2012 are still to be confirmed.  As in previous years, nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2011 (a circular 9 mile (14km) route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2012 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
About 9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.  In 2011 it took 2.5 hours and we still managed to lose people at traffic lights.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. a circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
There are no official after ride parties planned for 2011.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for Saturday 11 June 2011 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1007723#lat=51.5065&amp;amp;lng=-0.11982&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;type=0 here]. The list of streets can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].  It is intended to use the same or very similar route in 2012 but this is still to be confirmed with the relevant authorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Planning Your Body Paint'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Plans for organised bodypainting in 2012 are still to be confirmed.  As in previous years, nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2011 (a circular 9 mile (14km) route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2012 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
About 9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.  In 2011 it took 2.5 hours and we still managed to lose people at traffic lights.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. a circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
There are no official after ride parties planned for 2011.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for Saturday 11 June 2011 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1007723#lat=51.5065&amp;amp;lng=-0.11982&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;type=0 here]. The list of streets can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].  It is intended to use the same or very similar route in 2012 but this is still to be confirmed with the relevant authorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Things to Know==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;

The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2011 (a circular 9 mile (14km) route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2012 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
About 9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.  In 2011 it took 2.5 hours and we still managed to lose people at traffic lights.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. a circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
There are no official after ride parties planned for 2011.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for Saturday 11 June 2011 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1007723#lat=51.5065&amp;amp;lng=-0.11982&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;type=0 here]. The list of streets can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].  It is intended to use the same or very similar route in 2012 but this is still to be confirmed with the relevant authorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Previous Rides==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  The event started in 2004 with 58 participants and has had 1,000-1,200 participants each year since 2007.  Read about the previous rides on the [[London_history]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Thinking of Taking Part in the London World Naked Bike Ride?==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; some years they have assisted with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).  In recent years they have left us to our own devices as we are considered a well run event that doesn't require close monitoring.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2012 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Nudity during the ride===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police and get cooperation from the authorities in future years.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  With no budget and no ability to erect any sort of barriers, the start is very difficult for us to control.  There will be lots of people there with cameras and there isn't much we can do about it.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that if you are uncomfortable getting undressed with all of the photographers around only need to get undressed just before the ride starts.  If you wear clothes that can be quickly removed, you could leave the park dressed, pull over, remove your clothes and rejoin the ride.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Traffic and congestion WILL cause the protest to stop for several minutes at various points throughout the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Photography===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Slogans and Decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The World Naked Bike Ride is a protest event designed to raise awareness of issues important to the people taking part.  While many of the participants enjoy being out in the city naked on a bicycle, the event is a protest and the more we get our [[About|messages]] across, the more legitimacy the protest can claim.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Decorating you and your bike helps us get the message across and hopefully helps you have some more fun too.  Tactically placed body paint can also be a good way to go naked but not put everything on display if that's important to you.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Decoration and leaflets=== &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:LondonBikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another option is [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/14808.aspx Barclays Cycle Hire]. However, this is intended for short journeys, so please make sure that you understand the costs involved. If you rent a bike for 3-6 hours, you pay £1 for the access fee and £35 for the usage fee! This is quite plausible, since the London ride assembles at 15:00 and normally finishes at about 18:00. Also, you may not be able to collect or return a bike at the nearest docking station, if it's empty at the start and full at the end, so you need to allow for extra travelling time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are hiring a bike, and you have a bare bum, please cover the saddle. This will protect you from any dirt, as well as being polite to the next person who uses the bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Skate rental===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain, but it just might be shortened. If so, follow the Marshals' instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In any case bring warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a five-day weather forecast, visit one of  [http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/london_forecast_weather.html Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=LONDON MetCheck] or [http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/8?&amp;amp;showDay=A BBC Weather] (and choose day).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===PA equipment===  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Health &amp;amp; safety=== &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bicycles are to be ridden in a manner appropriate for use on the road.  All riders should be seated on appropriate seats in line with The Highway Code.  Don't take passengers on luggage racks or handlebars.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
If you still have questions, see the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Getting involved==&lt;br /&gt;
There are lots of ways you can help to organise or promote the ride.  Please contact us in the [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-london Yahoo group]] if you have any useful special skills and are able to help in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Poster===&lt;br /&gt;
As with the 2009 ride, some A4 posters will be printed ahead of the 2011 ride. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_London_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for London (UK design)]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
for printing locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Spread the word===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone can help to make the next ride even more successful than the last. There are lots of ideas for promoting the ride at the [[UK Promote]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===World Naked Bike Ride stalls===&lt;br /&gt;

Note that this event doesn't happen if the weather is poor.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive at Wellington Arch by '''1pm on Saturday 9 June 2012''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;!-- after ride text --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''On Saturday 9 June 2012 the London World Naked Bike Ride will ride the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates and pedal rickshaws as they protest against car culture, oil dependency and highlight the risks that cyclists are exposed to on the road.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  We had 1,000-1,200 participants each year from 2007 to 2011.  Read about the previous rides on the [[London_history]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
*A big thank-you is owed to [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk Team Green Britain Bike Week]!  They've been brilliant, and we're proud to be part of Bike Week.&lt;br /&gt;
*People are also encouraged to join rides in [[List of rides#UK|other UK cities]] – including nearby [[Brighton]] and [[Southampton]] – which are typically scheduled to take place on different days from London, around the same weekend&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&lt;br /&gt;
*For press enquiries see the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/press/ media information page] on the main site&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm around Wellington Arch, as this will undermine our positive relationship with Westminster.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it may impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride on the island inside the Hyde Park Corner roundabout, near the Wellington Arch ([http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012 the plan is, as in previous years, to finish at the Wellington Arch.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
There are no official after ride parties planned for 2012.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Moved to the top as the London Bicycle Tour Company have apparently fully booked all their bikes now --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:LondonBikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another option is [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/14808.aspx Barclays Cycle Hire]. However, this is intended for short journeys, so please make sure that you understand the costs involved. If you rent a bike for 3-6 hours, you pay £1 for the access fee and £35 for the usage fee! This is quite plausible, since the London ride assembles at 15:00 and normally finishes at about 18:00. Also, you may not be able to collect or return a bike at the nearest docking station, if it's empty at the start and full at the end, so you need to allow for extra travelling time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are hiring a bike, and you have a bare bum, please cover the saddle. This will protect you from any dirt, as well as being polite to the next person who uses the bike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Skate rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bicycles are to be ridden in a manner appropriate for use on the road.  All riders should be seated on appropriate seats in line with The Highway Code.  Don't take passengers on luggage racks or handlebars.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2011 but starting from as well as finishing at Wellington Arch --a circular 9.3 mile (14.9km) route of mostly flat cycling.  The 2012 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for Saturday 9 June 2012 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1430059 here]. The list of streets passed in 2011 can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally we suggest you include a QR code if you plan to have a flat area for messages. That way, bystanders with smartphones can instantly find the major WNBR websites to get the ride's messages. Here are two: one for the main WNBR site in black or green, and another for the UK WNBR site in black or blue. Take your pick; they are all downloadable PDF files ready for printing &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain, but it just might be shortened. If so, follow the Marshals' instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In any case bring warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Note that this event doesn't happen if the weather is poor.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive at Wellington Arch by '''1pm on Saturday 9 June 2012''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The up-to-date (2010) London Stewarding Guidelines can be read [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/f/fd/London_WNBR_Stewarding_Guidelines.pdf here]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb (London)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
World Naked Bike Rides have taken place in London since 2004 - always on the second Saturday of June.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2011==&lt;br /&gt;
1000 people took part in the ride on Saturday 11th June. The weather was scattered cloud and cool.  The route of the ride went via Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Parliament, London Eye, Aldwych, St Paul's Cathedral, Holborn, Covent Garden, The Mall, Buckingham Palace and finished at Waterloo.  The ride did become fragmented.  Most groups arrived at Waterloo Arch by about 6 and the rain arrived about 30 minutes later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2010==&lt;br /&gt;
1000 people took part in the ride on Saturday 12th June. The weather was sunny and warm and there were over 1000 riders.  The ride went from Hyde Park to The Tower of London (the non-circular route was due to the cross-rail works being done on Oxford Street/Tottenham Court Road). A pre-ride segment travelled from the near to Heathrow at the village of Sipson to Hyde Park (this segment had 17 riders).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2009==&lt;br /&gt;
1200 people took part in the ride on Saturday 13th June. It was a nice warm day, with a cool breeze, and the ride went from Hyde Park to Wellington Arch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2008==&lt;br /&gt;
1000 people took part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2007==&lt;br /&gt;
It was almost impossible to count the 1,000+ riders as they travelled the traditional 6 mile route through London on a beautiful, hazy, hot day.  Crowds were highly supportive.  This year was the first time [http://www.royalparks.gov.uk The Royal Parks] granted the ride official permission to assemble within Hyde Park.  The route finished as usual at the Wellington Arch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2006==&lt;br /&gt;
Over 700 people took the 2005 route through London on one of the hottest days of the year.  Crowds were occasionally drunken (due to a World Cup football match), but mostly supportive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2005==&lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 250 people rode for 6 miles (1.5 hours) on the busiest streets of London - the assembly and finish were both at Wellington Arch.  The public was astonished, thrilled, and delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2004==&lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 60 riders rode in Hyde Park for 30 minutes inside Hyde Park.  The public who saw us was facinated and several cyclists spontaneously joined the ride.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw.

'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride rode the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates and pedal rickshaws.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
There are no official after ride parties planned for 2011.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Moved to the top as the London Bicycle Tour Company have apparently fully booked all their bikes now --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:BikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Skate rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bicycles are to be ridden in a manner appropriate for use on the road.  All riders should be seated on appropriate seats in line with The Highway Code.  Don't take passengers on luggage racks or handlebars.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9.3 mile (14.9km) route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Mall and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed route for Saturday 11 June 2011 is on BikeMap.net [http://www.bikemap.net/route/1007723#lat=51.5065&amp;amp;lng=-0.11982&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;type=0 here]. The list of streets can be seen [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/ba/2011_London_Route.pdf here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain, but it just might be shortened. If so, follow the Marshals' instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In any case bring warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Spread the word===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone can help to make the next ride even more successful than the last. There are lots of ideas for promoting the ride at the [[UK Promote]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===World Naked Bike Ride stalls===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR usually has stalls at events.  Please get in touch if you can help with the stall or leafleting at these events.&lt;br /&gt;

Note that this event doesn't happen if the weather is poor.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;

'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  We had 1,000 participants on Saturday 12 June 2010!!!  Previously we had 1,200 (2009), 1,000 (2007 &amp;amp; 2008), 800 (2006), 250 (2005) and 58 (2004).&lt;br /&gt;
*A big thank-you is owed to [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk Team Green Britain Bike Week 2010]!  They've been brilliant, and we're proud to be part of Bike Week.&lt;br /&gt;
*People are also encouraged to join rides in [[List of rides#UK|other UK cities]] – including nearby [[Brighton]] and [[Southampton]] – which are typically scheduled to take place on different days from London, around the same weekend&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&lt;br /&gt;
*For press enquiries see the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/press/ media information page] on the main site&lt;br /&gt;

==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
There are no official after ride parties planned for 2011.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Moved to the top as the London Bicycle Tour Company have apparently fully booked all their bikes now --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of the bike hire locations, visit the following page from [http://lcc.org.uk/articles/cycle-hire-shops-in-london London Cycle Campaign (LCC) - List of Cycle Hire Shops in London]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking London Bicycle Tour Company] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:BikeHire.png|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Skate rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bicycles are to be ridden in a manner appropriate for use on the road.  All riders should be seated on appropriate seats in line with The Highway Code.  Don't take passengers on luggage racks or handlebars.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting involved==&lt;br /&gt;
There are lots of ways you can help to organise or promote the ride.  Please contact us in the [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-london Yahoo group]] if you have any useful special skills and are able to help in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Poster===&lt;br /&gt;
As with the 2009 ride, some A4 posters will be printed ahead of the 2011 ride. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_London_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for London (UK design)]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
for printing locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Spread the word===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone can help to make the next ride even more successful than the last. There are lots of ideas for promoting the ride at the [[UK Promote]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===World Naked Bike Ride stalls===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR usually has stalls at events.  Please get in touch if you can help with the stall or leafleting at these events.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Please help us by distributing leaflets at the following events if possible!&lt;br /&gt;

Note that this event doesn't happen if the weather is poor.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  We had 1,000 participants on Saturday 12 June 2010!!!  Previously we had 1,200 (2009), 1,000 (2007 &amp;amp; 2008), 800 (2006), 250 (2005) and 58 (2004).&lt;br /&gt;
*A big thank-you is owed to [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk Team Green Britain Bike Week 2010]!  They've been brilliant, and we're proud to be part of Bike Week.&lt;br /&gt;
*People are also encouraged to join rides in [[List of rides#UK|other UK cities]] – including nearby [[Brighton]] and [[Southampton]] – which are typically scheduled to take place on different days from London, around the same weekend&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&lt;br /&gt;
*For press enquiries see the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/press/ media information page] on the main site&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a really good idea to take your clothes with you on the ride.  We don't finish exactly where we started.  Make sure they are secured though.  You don't want to be the person who lost their clothes on the ride or the one who's friend's decided the ride was taking too long, they had better things to do and went home with your clothes.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
There are no official after ride parties planned for 2011.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting involved==&lt;br /&gt;
There are lots of ways you can help to organise or promote the ride.  Please contact us in the [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-london Yahoo group]] if you have any useful special skills and are able to help in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Poster===&lt;br /&gt;
As with the 2009 ride, some A4 posters will be printed ahead of the 2011 ride. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_London_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for London (UK design)]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
for printing locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Spread the word===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone can help to make the next ride even more successful than the last. There are lots of ideas for promoting the ride at the [[UK Promote]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  We had 1,000 participants on Saturday 12 June 2010!!!  Previously we had 1,200 (2009), 1,000 (2007 &amp;amp; 2008), 800 (2006), 250 (2005) and 58 (2004).&lt;br /&gt;
*A big thank-you is owed to [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk Team Green Britain Bike Week 2010]!  They've been brilliant, and we're proud to be part of Bike Week.&lt;br /&gt;
*People are also encouraged to join rides in [[List of rides#UK|other UK cities]] – including nearby [[Brighton]] and [[Southampton]] – which are typically scheduled to take place on different days from London, around the same weekend&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&lt;br /&gt;
*For press enquiries see the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/press/ media information page] on the main site&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
There are no official after ride parties planned for 2011.  Anyone arranging gatherings elsewhere or parties in the evening is not affiliated with the World Naked Bike Ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.R.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Skate rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Helmets are not compulsory. We advise you to [http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=5339 consider the evidence on cycling safety and helmets], then take your own decision on whether to wear a helmet or not.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting involved==&lt;br /&gt;
There are lots of ways you can help to organise or promote the ride.  Please contact us in the [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-london Yahoo group]] if you have any useful special skills and are able to help in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Poster===&lt;br /&gt;
As with the 2009 ride, some A4 posters will be printed ahead of the 2011 ride. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_London_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for London (UK design)]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
for printing locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Spread the word===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone can help to make the next ride even more successful than the last. There are lots of ideas for promoting the ride at the [[UK Promote]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Note that this event doesn't happen if the weather is poor.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;

'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  We had 1,000 participants on Saturday 12 June 2010!!!  Previously we had 1,200 (2009), 1,000 (2007 &amp;amp; 2008), 800 (2006), 250 (2005) and 58 (2004).&lt;br /&gt;
*A big thank-you is owed to [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk Team Green Britain Bike Week 2010]!  They've been brilliant, and we're proud to be part of Bike Week.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
We will announce any recommended post-ride events that are organised here.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We advise you to wear a helmet.  You can paint it, decorate it, camouflage it &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;....but keep your head!&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting involved==&lt;br /&gt;
There are lots of ways you can help to organise or promote the ride.  Please contact us in the [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-london Yahoo group]] if you have any useful special skills and are able to help in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Poster===&lt;br /&gt;
As with the 2009 ride, some A4 posters will be printed ahead of the 2011 ride. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_London_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for London (UK design)]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
for printing locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Spread the word===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone can help to make the next ride even more successful than the last. There are lots of ideas for promoting the ride at the [[UK Promote]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;

'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  We had 1,000 participants on Saturday 12 June 2010!!!  Previously we had 1,200 (2009), 1,000 (2007 &amp;amp; 2008), 800 (2006), 250 (2005) and 58 (2004).&lt;br /&gt;
*A big thank-you is owed to [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk Team Green Britain Bike Week 2010]!  They've been brilliant, and we're proud to be part of Bike Week.&lt;br /&gt;
*People are also encouraged to join rides in [[List of rides#UK|other UK cities]] – including nearby [[Brighton]] and [[Southampton]] – which are typically scheduled to take place on different days from London, around the same weekend&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&lt;br /&gt;
*For press enquiries see the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/press/ media information page] on the main site&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
We will announce any recommended post-ride events that are organised here.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We advise you to wear a helmet.  You can paint it, decorate it, camouflage it &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;....but keep your head!&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting involved==&lt;br /&gt;
There are lots of ways you can help to organise or promote the ride.  Please contact us in the [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-london Yahoo group]] if you have any useful special skills and are able to help in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Poster===&lt;br /&gt;
As with the 2009 ride, some A4 posters will be printed ahead of the 2011 ride. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_London_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for London (UK design)]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
for printing locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Spread the word===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone can help to make the next ride even more successful than the last. There are lots of ideas for promoting the ride at the [[UK Promote]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*London is the largest daytime WNBR event in the world.  We had 1,000 participants on Saturday 12 June 2010!!!  Previously we had 1,200 (2009), 1,000 (2007 &amp;amp; 2008), 800 (2006), 250 (2005) and 58 (2004).&lt;br /&gt;
*A big thank-you is owed to [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk Team Green Britain Bike Week 2010]!  They've been brilliant, and we're proud to be part of Bike Week.&lt;br /&gt;
*People are also encouraged to join rides in [[List of rides#UK|other UK cities]] – including nearby [[Brighton]] and [[Southampton]] – which are typically scheduled to take place on different days from London, around the same weekend&lt;br /&gt;
*The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat!&lt;br /&gt;
*For press enquiries see the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/press/ media information page] on the main site&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
We will announce any recommended post-ride events that are organised here.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The London Bicycle Tour Company hire bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the Instructions for WNBR participants on the [[http://www.londonbicycle.com/booking|London Bicycle Tour Company]] web site booking page&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If you are booking for World Naked Bike Ride you must select 'number of days: 16' in the booking form even though you will only be hiring the bike for 1 day.  Also, you must select 'W.N.B.N.' as the event.  This will bring up the correct discounted price.  You will need to book with a credit card or bring a large cash deposit to hire the bike.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Skate rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For £10 rental and a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We advise you to wear a helmet.  You can paint it, decorate it, camouflage it &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;....but keep your head!&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other Discounts===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.theatrebreaks.com/Discounts-for-WNBR-Participants-No-Theatre.aspx Hotels and Shows]&lt;br /&gt;
Theatre Breaks are offering a 10% discount hotels in London - places that have committed to accepting guests and their bicycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting involved==&lt;br /&gt;
There are lots of ways you can help to organise or promote the ride.  Please contact us in the [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-london Yahoo group]] if you have any useful special skills and are able to help in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Poster===&lt;br /&gt;
As with the 2009 ride, some A4 posters will be printed ahead of the 2011 ride. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_London_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for London (UK design)]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
for printing locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Spread the word===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone can help to make the next ride even more successful than the last. There are lots of ideas for promoting the ride at the [[UK Promote]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Photography and filming policy==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The London Ride has had a photography/filming policy since 2005.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===2010 Policy===&lt;br /&gt;
This policy will apply until superseded by an updated version.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage photography during the ride; it is a means of promoting our message propagated through banners and body paint. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However there are some restrictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Photographers are expected to behave in a respectful, friendly and reasonable manner at all times. If you make any rider uncomfortable, you will be required to leave the assembly area and/or ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''B - AT THE ASSEMBLY AREA''' (both BEFORE and AFTER the ride)&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#Ask permission before photographing a rider.&lt;br /&gt;
#No photos of people people being body painted, dressing or undressing.&lt;br /&gt;
#No photos of people in the designated Body Painting area - this is enforced by Stewards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''C - DURING THE RIDE'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#No close-up photos without getting consent of the rider&lt;br /&gt;
#No photos allowed of a rider who objects&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''This policy is intended to curtail any inconsiderate photography which might otherwise take place. We wish to create a safe and supportive environment for all riders.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''All photographers present at the ride must abide by this policy. Those who do not will be asked to leave. This '''includes''' any riders or press who take photos.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''To ensure that this policy is clear to all present, it may appear on signs at the ride assembly area or on leaflets distributed at the event.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hyde Park Regulations (from Royal Parks)===&lt;br /&gt;
(these regulations apply during the ride assembly in Hyde Park)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''PERMITS REQUIRED IN HYDE PARK'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Filming and photography in Hyde Park requires a permit unless it will be used for strictly private, non-commercial purposes.  Licences are issued to individuals and the media for the purpose of taking photos or recording anything in the Royal Parks agreed to by Park Management.  Both news permits and licences are subject to strict conditions and holders must comply with 'The Royal Parks Regulations 2004' and 'Other Open Spaces Regulations 1997.'  Fees for individuals or small crews conducting under 4 hours of filming or still photography range from £280-£1,000 (+VAT), and there is an 80% discount for student filmakers whose student status is verified by their institution.&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.royalparks.org.uk/business/filming.cfm http://www.royalparks.org.uk/business/filming.cfm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''GOOD BEHAVIOUR'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The World Naked Bike Ride has permission to form up in Hyde Park for the ride departure.  While in Hyde Park, please take care not to violate section 3.1 of the The Royal Parks and Other Open Spaces Regulations 1997 by &amp;quot;intentionally or recklessly interfere with the safety, comfort or convenience of any person using a Park&amp;quot;.  Anyone violating this regulation may be reported to the Police.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Debate about the policy===&lt;br /&gt;
There has been some debate about the restrictiveness of this policy, to see this visit the following link [http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CWWK&amp;amp;unified_p=1]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===No-photo Zone around the Body Painting===&lt;br /&gt;
This year, the Body Painting area will be set up in the middle of a &amp;quot;no-photo&amp;quot; zone outside the assembly area.  The 2007 photographers created an uncomfortable situation for many of the riders being body painted, and also created congestion around the body-painting area.  For 2008, we will not be allowing spectators or photographers into or around the Body Painting area.  If riders wish to escape photography, they are welcome to come into the &amp;quot;no-photo&amp;quot; zone for sanctuary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ===Be an Assembly Area Welfare Volunteer===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WNBR is a spectacular and highly photogenic event and we welcome respectful photography and filming from the press and between friends. Some photographers can however be intrusive and become a nuisance. To help make the assembly feel safe and fun for everyone, we need 10-15&lt;br /&gt;
people to act as Welfare Volunteers in the Assembly Area between 1pm-3.30pm.  '''After 3.30pm, the Welfare Volunteers will no longer have any responsibilities, and can join the ride if they wish.''' The volunteers will-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#'''Physically define and enforce a temporary &amp;quot;No Photography Zone&amp;quot; for bodypainting.  This zone will be also be available for those wanting to undress more privately.'''&lt;br /&gt;
#'''Roam the site, keeping an eye on photographers' behaviour and politely intervening if necessary.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you wish to be a Welfare Volunteer for the assembly area, please contact Jesse at 0781 458 7361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This section has been hidden as we did not use Welfare Volunteers in 2010, nor do we plan to in 2011 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enforcing the Photo Policy (by you the riders)===&lt;br /&gt;
We created a downloadable &amp;quot;Photo Policy Enforcement Board&amp;quot; which is downloadable as a PDF.  The version in 2007 seemed to have a helpful effect.  Here is the 2008 version [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The download prints out onto two sheets of A4 which you can attach to both sides of an A4 piece of card or cardboard.  It has the photo policy info on one sheet and in large letters it says &amp;quot;''This Photo was taken without permission''&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our hope is that plenty of riders will have their own &amp;quot;Photo Policy Enforcement Board&amp;quot; on hand at the ride.  If verbal intervention doesn't succeed in stopping a problem photographer, please hold the board between an inconsiderate photographer and the unwilling subject.  We'll see if this works.  To make it happen, you'll need to download, and print the signs (and affix them onto two sides of an A4 sized bit of card).  ''Be sure to have somewhere to store the card out of sight when you aren't using it (eg- when no problem behaviour is happening, and during the ride).''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Recommendations for Photographers===&lt;br /&gt;
If you are attending the ride as a photographer, we would like to remind you that the there are various points along the route which feature particularly striking backgrounds for photos of the ride (eg- Piccadilly, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, Oxford Street, US Embassy).&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
We will announce any recommended post-ride events that are organised here.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike and skate rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We are able to repeat last year's discounted BIKE HIRE through the London Bicycle Tour Company which hired bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.    See below for more details&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also at the bargain price of £10, secured by a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We advise you to wear a helmet.  You can paint it, decorate it, camouflage it &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;....but keep your head!&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike hire===&lt;br /&gt;
There are many places in London where you can hire a bike.  For a PDF of the recommended bike hire locations, visit the following page from LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=171 http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=171].  For discounted bike hire, see the item below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Discounted bike hire===&lt;br /&gt;
As in previous years, the London Bicycle Tour Company will do a discounted bike rental for the day of just £12. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the day of the ride, you will be able to collect your bike from the shop between 10.45-11.45 or 12pm-3pm.  '''Please try to collect your bike before 1pm.  The earlier the better.'''  Bikes can be returned to the shop at any time before 7pm.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&lt;br /&gt;

Note that this event doesn't happen if the weather is poor.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--Stewards are '''NOT meant to police the ride''' - that is the job of the police - we just need people willing and able to look out for others and to lend a helping hand when required. '''Assembly Area Volunteers''' (see below) will be working alongside the Stewards by intervening when problem photography is spotted at the ride assembly.  Stewards and Assembly Area Volunteers will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
We will announce any recommended post-ride events that are organised here.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike and skate rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We are able to repeat last year's discounted BIKE HIRE through the London Bicycle Tour Company which hired bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.    See below for more details&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also at the bargain price of £10, secured by a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We advise you to wear a helmet.  You can paint it, decorate it, camouflage it &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;....but keep your head!&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the day of the ride, you will be able to collect your bike from the shop between 10.45-11.45 or 12pm-3pm.  '''Please try to collect your bike before 1pm.  The earlier the better.'''  Bikes can be returned to the shop at any time before 7pm.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--Stewards are '''NOT meant to police the ride''' - that is the job of the police - we just need people willing and able to look out for others and to lend a helping hand when required. '''Assembly Area Volunteers''' (see below) will be working alongside the Stewards by intervening when problem photography is spotted at the ride assembly.  Stewards and Assembly Area Volunteers will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;CraigRichmond: Inserted a reference to say that this policy will apply until replaced by a newer one and left 2010 year there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb (London)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Photography and filming policy==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The London Ride has had a photography/filming policy since 2005.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===2010 Policy===&lt;br /&gt;
This policy will apply until superseded by an updated version.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage photography during the ride; it is a means of promoting our message propagated through banners and body paint. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However there are some restrictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''A - PHOTOGRAPHERS BEHAVIOUR'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers are expected to behave in a respectful, friendly and reasonable manner at all times. If you make any rider uncomfortable, you will be required to leave the assembly area and/or ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''B - AT THE ASSEMBLY AREA''' (both BEFORE and AFTER the ride)&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#Ask permission before photographing a rider.&lt;br /&gt;
#No photos of people people being body painted, dressing or undressing.&lt;br /&gt;
#No photos of people in the designated Body Painting area - this is enforced by Stewards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''C - DURING THE RIDE'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#No close-up photos without getting consent of the rider&lt;br /&gt;
#No photos allowed of a rider who objects&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''This policy is intended to curtail any inconsiderate photography which might otherwise take place. We wish to create a safe and supportive environment for all riders.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''All photographers present at the ride must abide by this policy. Those who do not will be asked to leave. This '''includes''' any riders or press who take photos.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''To ensure that this policy is clear to all present, it may appear on signs at the ride assembly area or on leaflets distributed at the event.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hyde Park Regulations (from Royal Parks)===&lt;br /&gt;
(these regulations apply during the ride assembly in Hyde Park)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''PERMITS REQUIRED IN HYDE PARK'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Filming and photography in Hyde Park requires a permit unless it will be used for strictly private, non-commercial purposes.  Licences are issued to individuals and the media for the purpose of taking photos or recording anything in the Royal Parks agreed to by Park Management.  Both news permits and licences are subject to strict conditions and holders must comply with 'The Royal Parks Regulations 2004' and 'Other Open Spaces Regulations 1997.'  Fees for individuals or small crews conducting under 4 hours of filming or still photography range from £280-£1,000 (+VAT), and there is an 80% discount for student filmakers whose student status is verified by their institution.&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.royalparks.org.uk/business/filming.cfm http://www.royalparks.org.uk/business/filming.cfm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''GOOD BEHAVIOUR'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The World Naked Bike Ride has permission to form up in Hyde Park for the ride departure.  While in Hyde Park, please take care not to violate section 3.1 of the The Royal Parks and Other Open Spaces Regulations 1997 by &amp;quot;intentionally or recklessly interfere with the safety, comfort or convenience of any person using a Park&amp;quot;.  Anyone violating this regulation may be reported to the Police.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Debate about the policy===&lt;br /&gt;
There has been some debate about the restrictiveness of this policy, to see this visit the following link [http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CWWK&amp;amp;unified_p=1]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===No-photo Zone around the Body Painting===&lt;br /&gt;
This year, the Body Painting area will be set up in the middle of a &amp;quot;no-photo&amp;quot; zone outside the assembly area.  The 2007 photographers created an uncomfortable situation for many of the riders being body painted, and also created congestion around the body-painting area.  For 2008, we will not be allowing spectators or photographers into or around the Body Painting area.  If riders wish to escape photography, they are welcome to come into the &amp;quot;no-photo&amp;quot; zone for sanctuary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Be an Assembly Area Welfare Volunteer===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WNBR is a spectacular and highly photogenic event and we welcome respectful photography and filming from the press and between friends. Some photographers can however be intrusive and become a nuisance. To help make the assembly feel safe and fun for everyone, we need 10-15&lt;br /&gt;
people to act as Welfare Volunteers in the Assembly Area between 1pm-3.30pm.  '''After 3.30pm, the Welfare Volunteers will no longer have any responsibilities, and can join the ride if they wish.''' The volunteers will-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#'''Physically define and enforce a temporary &amp;quot;No Photography Zone&amp;quot; for bodypainting.  This zone will be also be available for those wanting to undress more privately.'''&lt;br /&gt;
#'''Roam the site, keeping an eye on photographers' behaviour and politely intervening if necessary.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you wish to be a Welfare Volunteer for the assembly area, please contact Jesse at 0781 458 7361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enforcing the Photo Policy (by you the riders)===&lt;br /&gt;
We created a downloadable &amp;quot;Photo Policy Enforcement Board&amp;quot; which is downloadable as a PDF.  The version in 2007 seemed to have a helpful effect.  Here is the 2008 version [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The download prints out onto two sheets of A4 which you can attach to both sides of an A4 piece of card or cardboard.  It has the photo policy info on one sheet and in large letters it says &amp;quot;''This Photo was taken without permission''&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our hope is that plenty of riders will have their own &amp;quot;Photo Policy Enforcement Board&amp;quot; on hand at the ride.  If verbal intervention doesn't succeed in stopping a problem photographer, please hold the board between an inconsiderate photographer and the unwilling subject.  We'll see if this works.  To make it happen, you'll need to download, and print the signs (and affix them onto two sides of an A4 sized bit of card).  ''Be sure to have somewhere to store the card out of sight when you aren't using it (eg- when no problem behaviour is happening, and during the ride).''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Recommendations for Photographers===&lt;br /&gt;
If you are attending the ride as a photographer, we would like to remind you that the there are various points along the route which feature particularly striking backgrounds for photos of the ride (eg- Piccadilly, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, Oxford Street, US Embassy).&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

'''On [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/64982/ Saturday 11 June 2011] the eighth London World Naked Bike Ride will return to the streets of the capital, allowing riders to see the city sights from the comfort of a bike, skates or pedal rickshaw. The ride is easy and upbeat, and riders decorate their bodies and bikes with messages of protest against oil dependency and car culture.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride details==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Body Painting and Body Painting Area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.  People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A list of suitable slogans can be found here if you can't think of your own - [[Slogans|Slogans]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year.  We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters.  Nudity will not be permitted during body painting (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn).  Large numbers won't be permitted.  Photography won't be allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696.  This should keep the body-painting relatively private.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See below for more information on [[London#Body_painting|Body Painting]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Wear clothes before and after the ride'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks.  There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police.  Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many passers by and photographers who know about the event WILL turn up and take photographs before the ride begins.  You only need to get undressed just before the ride if you are uncomfortable doing so with all of the photographers are around.  Traffic and congestion will probably pause the protest at various points over the route.  If you don't like the idea of being photographed while sitting at a red light, bring something you can cover up with quickly and easily put on and take off.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some more information about the [[London photography policy | photography policy]] can be found here: [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_people.2F_the_press_photograph_me.3F|UK FAQ]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Assembly area'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You can assemble for the ride in the South-East corner of Hyde Park (near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner - [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&amp;amp;y=180017&amp;amp;z=2&amp;amp;ar=Y map link]) any time between 3:00 and 3:30pm. You can stay dressed as long as you want, but don't get undressed before 3:00pm. If you turn up before 3:00pm, Stewards will ask you to leave and return at 3:00. See the section below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about 3:25pm. The ride will be starting at 3:30pm.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Route and start location''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Details of the likely route are below - [[London#Route|Route]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ride length'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
9 miles.  Very few hills.  An easy, leisurely ride!.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Finish'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route.  When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere.  In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dispersal''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Get dressed before you leave the finish area.  If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''After Ride Celebration'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
We will announce any recommended post-ride events that are organised here.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extended ride option==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2010 Sipson Ride Extension''' &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 an optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route was available to demonstrate support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built).  Options were considered for running a similar event, but a suitable issue to protest and people to manage the ride were not identified.  If you have any suggestions for an extension ride to be run in future, get in touch.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride support==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bike and skate rental'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We are able to repeat last year's discounted BIKE HIRE through the London Bicycle Tour Company which hired bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12.    See below for more details&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also at the bargain price of £10, secured by a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day.  They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned.  They are located at Marble Arch.  Phone for details - 020 7724 4884&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Decoration and leaflets''' &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing &amp;quot;race cards&amp;quot; - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR.  Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs.  There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by.  These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised).  Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Photography policy'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome.   If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:&lt;br /&gt;
* The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route.  The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Verbally address the photographer by saying &amp;quot;Go away, I do not wish to be photographed&amp;quot;.  At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of &amp;quot;stop/halt/no&amp;quot;.  If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer;&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers;  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]].  Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers;&lt;br /&gt;
* If you have a camera, taking a photograph of persistent photographers and telling them to leave or you'll report them can work too.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''PA equipment'''  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal.  We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Health &amp;amp; safety''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We advise you to wear a helmet.  You can paint it, decorate it, camouflage it &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;....but keep your head!&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Objectives and demands==&lt;br /&gt;
Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Objectives===&lt;br /&gt;
*Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets&lt;br /&gt;
*Protest against the global dependency on oil&lt;br /&gt;
*Curb car culture&lt;br /&gt;
*Celebrate body freedom&lt;br /&gt;
===Demands===&lt;br /&gt;
*“Real rights for bikes”:&lt;br /&gt;
**Safer streets for cyclists&lt;br /&gt;
**Cycle-only zones in cities&lt;br /&gt;
**Separate 2-way cycle lanes&lt;br /&gt;
*A ban on car advertising&lt;br /&gt;
==Participating in the ride==&lt;br /&gt;
===Frequently asked questions (FAQ)===&lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] and global [[FAQ]]. Visit both pages to find out answers to your questions. We've tried to avoid an overlap of information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Route===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arranging the route for the WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities, working around other events, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agree roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes past many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the streets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand, but sometimes it is difficult to do so without having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discretion of the lead marshal.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current plan is to follow a route similar to 2010 but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 9 mile route of mostly flat cycling).  The 2011 route should see you passing the London landmarks of Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, London Eye, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden and Wellington Arch. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Legality===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have had their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Notice: The terms of the 2011 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Body painting===&lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] above).  We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand.  Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride.  For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]].  The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.  &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters.  From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk].  In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area.  We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park.  Details for the running on an informal body painting session can be found in the [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] section above.&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place.  If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed.  If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.'''  Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed.  Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike decoration===&lt;br /&gt;
We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike.  There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here].  If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing. &amp;lt;BR/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Public transport=== &lt;br /&gt;
See the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ | UK FAQs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Weather===&lt;br /&gt;
We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain.  Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!  For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk/ Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bike hire===&lt;br /&gt;
There are many places in London where you can hire a bike.  For a PDF of the recommended bike hire locations, visit the following page from LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=171 http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=171].  For discounted bike hire, see the item below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Discounted bike hire===&lt;br /&gt;
As in previous years, the London Bicycle Tour Company will do a discounted bike rental for the day of just £12. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the day of the ride, you will be able to collect your bike from the shop between 10.45-11.45 or 12pm-3pm.  '''Please try to collect your bike before 1pm.  The earlier the better.'''  Bikes can be returned to the shop at any time before 7pm.  Bike delivery will not be available for the discount price - bikes must be collected from the shop.  '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full details and instructions on how to pre-book your bike are on the [[London_Bike_Hire]] page.&lt;br /&gt;

Note that this event doesn't happen if the weather is poor.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Planning meetings===&lt;br /&gt;
Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings.  The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities).  Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the &amp;quot;London ride planning collective&amp;quot;). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area.  Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 March 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 14 April 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 12 May 2011&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)&lt;br /&gt;
# Thursday 24 June 2010 --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings are held at [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall].  The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the &amp;quot;green side&amp;quot; - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list.  We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting.  If you are in doubt, just ask &amp;quot;is this the bike ride meeting?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interviews===&lt;br /&gt;
The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On the day===&lt;br /&gt;
We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Being a volunteer steward===&lt;br /&gt;
In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--Stewards are '''NOT meant to police the ride''' - that is the job of the police - we just need people willing and able to look out for others and to lend a helping hand when required. '''Assembly Area Volunteers''' (see below) will be working alongside the Stewards by intervening when problem photography is spotted at the ride assembly.  Stewards and Assembly Area Volunteers will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''As a steward you will be required to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Register to be a steward in advance (if you turn up on the day with an offer to help, there will be limited things you can assist with and it probably won't be an exciting job).&lt;br /&gt;
*Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) &amp;lt;!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --&amp;gt; at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.&lt;br /&gt;
*Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 11 June 2011''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.&lt;br /&gt;
*Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride&lt;br /&gt;
*Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*Be a confident and proficient cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
*Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).&lt;br /&gt;
*Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).&lt;br /&gt;
*Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In return, you will receive:'''&lt;br /&gt;
*A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).&lt;br /&gt;
*A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).&lt;br /&gt;
*Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
*A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.&lt;br /&gt;
