Damian Cugley:

I have taken the liberty of merging all the 2014 info together and stripped out a lot of headings. Once we have more than one ride to record we can look again at how we want to divide the page up. Also I’ve changed the Facebook link to link to the newly created group rather than the page (not that I really understand what the difference between a page and a group is supposed to be).

'''URGENT'''

2014 !! Is anyone taking charge of the Oxford ride? If so lets all get together and make it happen....
How about meeting for a chat and a pint, time is running out and it will be another year lost. With all the students in the town this ride could grow into something special... just leave a message here to get the ball rolling..... or email me ( email@mikemaynard.plus.com )

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I can't make the London ride, and Oxford is the next closest to me. I'm keen to ride if it happens, sometime July would be best. Anyone know if an Oxford ride is being planned?

== Oxford WNBR (TBA) ==

No confirmed date yet. :(

I am interested in helping start this ride...but don't live in Oxford but part way between Oxford and Aylesbury. I don't have a great deal of opportunity to get into Oxford and so would find organising it difficult..but I would be interested to correspond with others who are interested.

I did the Brighton ride this year (08), Paris last year and London the year before...but Oxford would be really good.

Please add a comment here and I hope to get notification.

The '''Oxford World Naked Bike Ride''' is a protest event raising awareness of issues such as safety of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependence and saving the planet. [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=About Find out more about the World Naked Bike Ride Goals here.] The first ride in Oxford was on 15 June 2014.

{{Ride location next ride|Date= 15th June 2014|Time= 3:00 pm|Location= Oxpens Meadow next to Ice Rink}}

(The above info will be updated once the date of the 2015 ride is known.)

Until Oxford-specific information is available, see the [[London preparation]] page—most of which will apply to Oxford.

==History==
===15 June 2014===

The first ever Oxford ride took place on Sunday 15th June, with 71 riders. We assembled in Oxpens meadow (next to the Oxford Ice Rink) at 14:00, then left at 15:00.
