<p>John Cossham: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=United Kingdom}}<br /> <br /> Other Northern rides: [[Newcastle Gateshead]], [[Manchester]], [[Scarborough]], [[Edinburgh]].<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. It is equally a celebration of the bike and the human body.<br /> <br /> The York WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week]<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 2em;&quot;&gt;[[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Bike Week|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 3em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/events/1346991262004235/ Join the Ride!]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/groups/york.wnbr/ Join our Group]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UK donations link}}<br /> <br /> {{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 21st June 2025.|Time= 4.15pm prompt |Location= Assembly/departure point: 50 metres south of Millennium Bridge on the Fulford (east) side of the river.}}<br /> As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> ==Route and schedule==<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners, e-scooters and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Ride schedule'''<br /> <br /> This is the ride schedule for 2025. <br /> <br /> 3.00 pm Gathering of riders at Millennium Bridge. Time to have some refreshments from The York Cyclist coffee-and-cake trike, decorate your bike, paint your slogans. Bring bodypaints! <br /> <br /> 4.15 pm Departure from Millennium Bridge. We will make our way through York, including some cycle paths and off-road infrastructure, as well as city centre locations. Our route takes us past Clifford's Tower where there will be a photo opportunity.<br /> <br /> 6.00 pm Afterparty in a secret location 10 minutes ride from Millennium Bridge. Clothing optional, bring a towel to sit on please. <br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride. Lot of useful tips, suggestions and links to further information. It's updated every year to reflect changing needs. The 2016 version of the Advice is still available and can be consulted '''[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/9/93/York_WNBR_Advice_for_Riders_2016.pdf here].''' We'll post the new version in this section when it's ready.<br /> <br /> ==Press and Publicity==<br /> <br /> We will have a Press Release available soon.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''2018 FLYER''' (available soon!)<br /> <br /> The 2017 York flyer can still be downloaded by clicking on the link below. The flyer is designed to be printed double-sided in A5 format, although you can print the front as an A4 poster if you wish.<br /> <br /> '''[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/0/0f/YWNBR17_Flyer_Final.pdf York WNBR 2017 A5 Flyer (double-sided)]'''<br /> <br /> Please try and place any publicity materials in a prominent position in your local community centre, college, bike shop etc and circulate amongst your cycling friends and fellow activists. Laminated versions can even be displayed at key locations outside, e.g. attached to lamp-posts along cycle paths. With a little ingenuity flyers can also be attached to bikes. When organising leaflet distribution we are often on the look-out for a place where we can leave flyers for people to collect (with a person or business in York perhaps). If you know of a business that might be up for this, please write to york [at] wbnr [dot] org [dot] uk<br /> <br /> '''If you would like to donate some art-work for future York WNBR events, please get in touch.'''<br /> <br /> ==Bike hire==<br /> Bikes can be hired from the following places:<br /> <br /> Bike hire used to be plentiful in York, but for various reasons, isn't now. <br /> <br /> '''[http://www.getcycling.org.uk/index.php Get Cycling]''' is a company based at 22 Hospital Fields Road, YO10 4DZ, between Fulford Road and Millennium Bridge. Phone 01904 636812. They offer a bike helmet and lock, and to guarantee a bike, pre-booking is essential. They may be open on the day of the ride.<br /> <br /> ==Meetings and events==<br /> <br /> '''Ride planning''' and discussion take place online mainly on our [https://www.facebook.com/groups/york.wnbr/ Facebook group] and at York planning meetings.<br /> <br /> Planning meetings will be advertised here and on Facebook.

<p>John Cossham: Updated with 2024 details.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=United Kingdom}}<br /> <br /> Other Northern rides: [[Newcastle Gateshead]], [[Manchester]], [[Scarborough]], [[Edinburgh]].<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. It is equally a celebration of the bike and the human body.<br /> <br /> The York WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week]<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 2em;&quot;&gt;[[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Bike Week|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 3em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/events/1346991262004235/ Join the Ride!]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/groups/york.wnbr/ Join our Group]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UK donations link}}<br /> <br /> {{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 29 June 2024.|Time= 4.15pm prompt |Location= Assembly/departure point: 50 metres south of Millennium Bridge on the Fulford (east) side of the river.}}<br /> As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> ==Route and schedule==<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners, e-scooters and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Ride schedule'''<br /> <br /> This is the ride schedule for 2024. <br /> <br /> 3.00 pm Gathering of riders at Millennium Bridge. Time to have some refreshments, decorate your bike, paint your slogans. Bodypainting gazebo may be available, if we find a volunteer to organise that. <br /> <br /> 4.15 pm Departure from Millennium Bridge. We will cross the bridge and make our way through York, including some cycle paths and off-road infrastructure, as well as city centre locations. Our route takes us past Clifford's Tower where there will be a photo opportunity.<br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride. Lot of useful tips, suggestions and links to further information. It's updated every year to reflect changing needs. The 2016 version of the Advice is still available and can be consulted '''[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/9/93/York_WNBR_Advice_for_Riders_2016.pdf here].''' We'll post the new version in this section when it's ready.<br /> <br /> ==Press and Publicity==<br /> <br /> We will have a Press Release available soon.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''2018 FLYER''' (available soon!)<br /> <br /> The 2017 York flyer can still be downloaded by clicking on the link below. The flyer is designed to be printed double-sided in A5 format, although you can print the front as an A4 poster if you wish.<br /> <br /> '''[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/0/0f/YWNBR17_Flyer_Final.pdf York WNBR 2017 A5 Flyer (double-sided)]'''<br /> <br /> Please try and place any publicity materials in a prominent position in your local community centre, college, bike shop etc and circulate amongst your cycling friends and fellow activists. Laminated versions can even be displayed at key locations outside, e.g. attached to lamp-posts along cycle paths. With a little ingenuity flyers can also be attached to bikes. When organising leaflet distribution we are often on the look-out for a place where we can leave flyers for people to collect (with a person or business in York perhaps). If you know of a business that might be up for this, please write to york [at] wbnr [dot] org [dot] uk<br /> <br /> '''If you would like to donate some art-work for future York WNBR events, please get in touch.'''<br /> <br /> ==Bike hire==<br /> Bikes can be hired from the following places:<br /> <br /> Bike hire used to be plentiful in York, but for various reasons, isn't now. <br /> <br /> '''[http://www.getcycling.org.uk/index.php Get Cycling]''' is a company based at 22 Hospital Fields Road, YO10 4DZ, between Fulford Road and Millennium Bridge. Phone 01904 636812. They offer a bike helmet and lock, and to guarantee a bike, pre-booking is essential. They may be open on the day of the ride.<br /> <br /> ==Meetings and events==<br /> <br /> '''Ride planning''' and discussion take place online mainly on our [https://www.facebook.com/groups/york.wnbr/ Facebook group] and at York planning meetings.<br /> <br /> Planning meetings will be advertised here and on Facebook.

<p>John Cossham: /* 2017 */ Route info, etc</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb|RideLocation=York|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> Accounts of previous rides:<br /> ==2019==<br /> Our 13th ride took place on the afternoon of the 22nd June, at 4.15pm. The route passed through Heslington, Tang Hall, the Route 66 cycle track, the city centre, twice, and stopped at Clifford's Tower for a commemorative photoshoot. Before the ride, organisers were contacted by the grandparents of a lad called Dom, and probably his sister Moira, who wanted to give the kids a surprise. They indicated where they'd be standing, and organisers warned riders of this beforehand - so lots of riders greeted Dom and Moira on the way into St Helen's Square, see https://youtu.be/f6nbOr4qeIA<br /> There were 91 riders.<br /> <br /> ==2018==<br /> Saturday 23rd June saw this year's ride - with extremely detailed planning. For instance, this was the route and timings!!<br /> <br /> Route of 2018 YWNBR<br /> All timings approximate, based on one traverse of the route, cycling at relatively slow speeds. The actual ride is likely to be slower.<br /> Millennium Bridge, leaving at 16.35 <br /> Butcher Terrace, <br /> Left onto Bishopthorpe Road, <br /> Right onto Racecourse cycle path, <br /> Arrive at 'Ruby’s Crossroads', 16.43<br /> (10 min stop, approx) 16.53<br /> Knavesmire Road,<br /> Left onto Tadcaster Road, 17.00 <br /> Cross Tadcaster Road to traverse Hob Moor, <br /> Arrive Hob Moor 17.08<br /> Leave Hob Moor 17.13<br /> Green Lane, 17.19<br /> Left onto Front St,<br /> Second exit of the first roundabout, <br /> Third exit of the second roundabout, <br /> York Road, 17.26<br /> Left onto Carr Lane, <br /> Right onto Boroughbridge Road, <br /> Left onto Water End, <br /> Right onto Salisbury Terrace, 17.31<br /> Jubilee Terrace, <br /> Cycle path to Scarborough Bridge and the end of Wellington Row<br /> Right off path through car park and service road between Memorial Gardens and flats<br /> Left onto Leeman Road, 17.39<br /> 10 min stop at the triangular gardens between Station Rise/Station Road/Leeman Road, 17.49<br /> Rougier St, 17.53 <br /> Left onto Tanner Row, <br /> Right onto North St, <br /> Left onto Bridge St and over Ouse Bridge,<br /> Left onto Spurriergate and Coney St, <br /> Right through St Helen’s Square, 17.57<br /> Right onto Davygate.<br /> Left onto Church St, <br /> Left onto Swinegate<br /> Right onto Grape Lane<br /> Right onto Low Petergate, <br /> Right onto Pavement, 18.01 <br /> Coppergate, <br /> Left onto Clifford St, <br /> Left into the Eye of York where we will stop for a group photo 18.04<br /> (20 min stop, approx)<br /> Cross Clifford St into Tower Gardens, 18.24<br /> New Walk, <br /> Millennium Bridge. 18.34<br /> <br /> This helped police and stewards. The photo-stop at Clifford's Tower was in front of the temporary Rose Theatre which was being built, and several people read out Shakesperian-inspired poetry or skits on plays by the Great Bard.<br /> <br /> ==2017==<br /> Saturday 25th June, and a lovely route via Heslington, and then into town via the Fishergate Gyratory and Piccadilly, down Stonebow to one of the cycle cut-throughs, Aldwark, to Deangate and past the Minster, a die-in at St Helen's Square, and then crossing the river on Lendal Bridge, and back into the centre via Rougir St, Ouse Bridge, the mandatory stop at Clifford's Tower, and back to Millennium Bridge. 85 riders, two passengers. There was an afterparty at the Knavesmire pub, too!<br /> <br /> ==2016==<br /> <br /> As usual we started at Millennium Bridge on the east of the River Ouse, at 5.30pm. We crossed the bridge and cycled along the bank northwards as far as Memorial Gardens, where we turned left to Leeman Road, and then left again over Skeldergae Bridge and left down St Leonard's Place and then along Gillygate, Lord Mayor's Walk and right back into town along Goodramgate to Duncombe Place where we had a stop, enabling coiled red ribbons to be given out for the 'Theatrical Happening' just a couple of minutes further on in St Helen's Square. We had agreed with Police to not arrive in the Square until 5.30, to ensure no clashes with the military vehicles which were taking down the war machine erected in Parliament St. However, just before we were due to leave Duncombe Place, a pedestrian fell in the street, we think unconnected with our presence, and our First Aider Stephen leapt to the rescue. We eventually were permitted to pass by and we assembled in St Helen's Square for the experimental event, based on the Stop Killing Cyclists 'die ins' to highlight cyclist deaths. John Cossham had researched the cyclists who had died on UK roads as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle in the 12 months preceding June 2016. Some names were read out with some detail of their lives and death. Selected riders had agreed to lie down when particular names were read out, and the die-in started. After the most recent casualties were detailed, the other names were solemnly listed and a number of riders placed their bikes on the ground and released their red ribbon, signifying blood, and a silence was observed. This had been impossible to practice and choreograph, however it was a powerful statement. <br /> <br /> The remainder of the ride progressed almost without incident, barring a short cut over the pavement at the junction of Parliament St and Coppergate, an oversight by the ride leader. The route took us to our usual photo stop at the Eye of York, around the Fishergate Gyratory, over Ouse Bridge and through Bishopthorpe Road shops, up Scarcroft Road, cutting through Scarcroft Hill to Albermarle Road which led us to the Racecourse for a short obligatory stop near Ruby's Crossroads. From here it was only a short ride to the bridge. <br /> <br /> There were fewer riders than the previous year, but we felt the 'naked die-in', which we believe to be a World First for a WNBR, was successful, and something we might recreate in future years. There was no after-party venue available this year, something we do need to rectify for 2017.<br /> <br /> ==2015==<br /> Our route in 2015 started at Millennium Bridge and crossed the Ouse for a first stop at 'Ruby's Crossroads' to remember cyclists killed whilst riding. We then passed through the Racecourse, entering The Mount via Albermarle Road. We passed through Micklegate Bar, and clattered down the cobbles of Micklegate, crossed the river for the second time, and arrived at Coney Street just as the footstreets restriction finished at 5pm. At the end of Lendal, we turned towards the beautiful York Minster and cycled right next to it along Deangate. We then went along a backstreet called Aldwark, and arrive at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate via St Saviourgate. [[File: Stop_Driving.jpeg|220px|thumb|left|Wise advice from a York rider. Photo ©Toniminou 2015]] We went through the town centre a second time, along Pavement (that's a road called Pavement, not riding on a pavement!), Coppergate, Clifford Street and down for our photo-stop at Clifford's Tower.<br /> <br /> We then turned left out of the Eye of York, and cycled along Tower Street, Paragon Street, and through Fishergate Bar into George Street and Long Close Lane, which delivered us onto Walmgate and Navigation Road. We crossed York's newest bridge over the River Foss into Hungate, and from there into Peaseholme Green, onto the Inner Ring Road at Jewbury, St Maurice's Road, and along Lord Mayor's Walk. We headed into town yet again along Gillygate, St Leonard's Place, and crossed the Ouse for the third time at Lendal Bridge. At the West end of the bridge, we did a 180 degree left left onto Tanner's Moat, and then the home run via Wellington Row, North Street, Skeldergate, and Terry Avenue. We crossed Millennium Bridge again to finish where we started, on the East bank of the River, South of the beautiful Millennium Bridge. The full route was 7.6 miles.<br /> <br /> Highlights of the day were the awards before and after the ride and the photo-call on the steps of York Courthouse, adjacent to Clifford's Tower. Check us out [http://drmarionb.free.fr/YorkWNBR2015/Pages/3.html here]. Awards were given out to a couple of stalwarts of the ride - Margaret, our oldest rider and one of the minor stars of the now classic London 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSboWPlk-Rw World Naked Bike Ride film], otherwise known as &quot;Gran&quot;, and to Barry Freeman who was clocking up his 50th World Naked Bike Ride (beat that!). There was also a little prize for Tony H, aka the Green Man, who had ridden all the way up from Brighton. The photo-call with our banner &quot;Notice Us When We're Not Naked!&quot; once again attracted a lot of attention from York residents and tourists.<br /> <br /> Back at Millennium Bridge we took a lot more photos, then many of us headed off to the after party in a nearby hostelry, where naked pizzas and an Open Mic session were on offer. Many thanks to John C. for all his organising.<br /> <br /> ==2014==<br /> This was our longest ride yet, just under 9 miles. 122 riders left Millennium Bridge at 5.30pm and cycled around the West, centre and South East of York. We visited the Racecourse where a poem about cyclist deaths was read out, and a minute's silence observed. The poem was written for the 'Stop Killing Cyclists' London Die-In, protesting the many cyclist deaths there in 2013 and 2014. The ride then passed through Holgate, Poppleton Road, Water End and from Clifton Bridge to St Peter's Fields where there was had a photo-stop. Form here the route led through the centre of York, Clifford's Tower, and finally through the University and Walmgate Stray back to the Bridge. Immediately afterwards, there was a 'clothing optional' social, with live music and other entertainment in a nearby private venue, which was also used before the ride as a secure body-painting venue.<br /> <br /> ==2013==<br /> '''Turning heads'''<br /> <br /> As we gathered near the Millennium Bridge in the warm late afternoon sunshine for the Eighth York Naked Bike Ride, it gradually became evident that it would be a big one – perhaps the biggest yet. There was a good age and gender balance, and much preparative work had been done on body painting to very good effect. The weather was so favourable that hardly any of the stewards wanted to wear hi-viz yellow jackets. As we set off, on time, down the river path towards the university, my chain came off, so I ended up near the back of the long throng of cyclists. That enabled me to witness the immediate aftermath of a minor nose-to-tail collision between two cars travelling in the opposite direction along the Heslington Lane, as the irate woman in the front car got out to accost the poor, distracted woman sitting in the driver’s seat of the rear one.

It set me in mind of a radio interview I had done several years earlier in which I had said I would like people to be able to cycle naked whenever the weather was suitable, which the interviewer had ridiculed on the grounds that it would cause lots of accidents. He had missed the point; what I wanted was a society in which it would be regarded as so natural, normal and commonplace for people to be naked in hot weather that no-one would turn their heads.<br /> <br /> As we cycled up the University Road, we could have been forgiven for thinking it was a Far Eastern University, since the route was lined with hundreds of Oriental students with their cameras and camera-phones. It was surely not chance that they were all there, so the publicity machine must have worked for them, so why weren’t there any on the actual ride? It’s obviously not natural, normal and commonplace for people to cycle naked in the Far East. There were even more Oriental students in town, as we were greeted with the usual cheering reception, though Parliament Street itself was comparatively deserted. Having been the front rider for the past three years, I had been used to being the one who presented the surprise element to unsuspecting members of the public, and could glean their reaction. At the rear, it became evident that many people had already got quite blasé by the time we passed, leading me to wonder whether naked cyclists really would pose such a head-turning threat if they were commonplace. I’ve never had any evidence that we have ever actually caused offence.<br /> <br /> Stopping at the Eye of York for group photos under Clifford’s Tower with a brand new banner proclaiming, “Notice us when we’re NOT naked”, enabled a head count at the resumption which showed that, at somewhere in the region of 110 riders, it was indeed the biggest yet. As far as I’m concerned the banner could have read, “Don’t notice that we are naked” – that would represent the biggest social triumph.<br /> <br /> (Hugh Dower)<br /> <br /> ==2012==<br /> Despite chilly weather, 79 riders were counted on the Clifford's Tower section of the ride, and it was by all accounts a very successful event. The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom Street, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> <br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ==2011==<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> (Tony)<br /> <br /> ==2010==<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ==2009==<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87.

I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ==2008==<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.</div>

<p>John Cossham: /* 2018 */ Route update.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb|RideLocation=York|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> Accounts of previous rides:<br /> ==2019==<br /> Our 13th ride took place on the afternoon of the 22nd June, at 4.15pm. The route passed through Heslington, Tang Hall, the Route 66 cycle track, the city centre, twice, and stopped at Clifford's Tower for a commemorative photoshoot. Before the ride, organisers were contacted by the grandparents of a lad called Dom, and probably his sister Moira, who wanted to give the kids a surprise. They indicated where they'd be standing, and organisers warned riders of this beforehand - so lots of riders greeted Dom and Moira on the way into St Helen's Square, see https://youtu.be/f6nbOr4qeIA<br /> There were 91 riders.<br /> <br /> ==2018==<br /> Saturday 23rd June saw this year's ride - with extremely detailed planning. For instance, this was the route and timings!!<br /> <br /> Route of 2018 YWNBR<br /> All timings approximate, based on one traverse of the route, cycling at relatively slow speeds. The actual ride is likely to be slower.<br /> Millennium Bridge, leaving at 16.35 <br /> Butcher Terrace, <br /> Left onto Bishopthorpe Road, <br /> Right onto Racecourse cycle path, <br /> Arrive at 'Ruby’s Crossroads', 16.43<br /> (10 min stop, approx) 16.53<br /> Knavesmire Road,<br /> Left onto Tadcaster Road, 17.00 <br /> Cross Tadcaster Road to traverse Hob Moor, <br /> Arrive Hob Moor 17.08<br /> Leave Hob Moor 17.13<br /> Green Lane, 17.19<br /> Left onto Front St,<br /> Second exit of the first roundabout, <br /> Third exit of the second roundabout, <br /> York Road, 17.26<br /> Left onto Carr Lane, <br /> Right onto Boroughbridge Road, <br /> Left onto Water End, <br /> Right onto Salisbury Terrace, 17.31<br /> Jubilee Terrace, <br /> Cycle path to Scarborough Bridge and the end of Wellington Row<br /> Right off path through car park and service road between Memorial Gardens and flats<br /> Left onto Leeman Road, 17.39<br /> 10 min stop at the triangular gardens between Station Rise/Station Road/Leeman Road, 17.49<br /> Rougier St, 17.53 <br /> Left onto Tanner Row, <br /> Right onto North St, <br /> Left onto Bridge St and over Ouse Bridge,<br /> Left onto Spurriergate and Coney St, <br /> Right through St Helen’s Square, 17.57<br /> Right onto Davygate.<br /> Left onto Church St, <br /> Left onto Swinegate<br /> Right onto Grape Lane<br /> Right onto Low Petergate, <br /> Right onto Pavement, 18.01 <br /> Coppergate, <br /> Left onto Clifford St, <br /> Left into the Eye of York where we will stop for a group photo 18.04<br /> (20 min stop, approx)<br /> Cross Clifford St into Tower Gardens, 18.24<br /> New Walk, <br /> Millennium Bridge. 18.34<br /> <br /> This helped police and stewards. The photo-stop at Clifford's Tower was in front of the temporary Rose Theatre which was being built, and several people read out Shakesperian-inspired poetry or skits on plays by the Great Bard.<br /> <br /> ==2017==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2016==<br /> <br /> As usual we started at Millennium Bridge on the east of the River Ouse, at 5.30pm. We crossed the bridge and cycled along the bank northwards as far as Memorial Gardens, where we turned left to Leeman Road, and then left again over Skeldergae Bridge and left down St Leonard's Place and then along Gillygate, Lord Mayor's Walk and right back into town along Goodramgate to Duncombe Place where we had a stop, enabling coiled red ribbons to be given out for the 'Theatrical Happening' just a couple of minutes further on in St Helen's Square. We had agreed with Police to not arrive in the Square until 5.30, to ensure no clashes with the military vehicles which were taking down the war machine erected in Parliament St. However, just before we were due to leave Duncombe Place, a pedestrian fell in the street, we think unconnected with our presence, and our First Aider Stephen leapt to the rescue. We eventually were permitted to pass by and we assembled in St Helen's Square for the experimental event, based on the Stop Killing Cyclists 'die ins' to highlight cyclist deaths. John Cossham had researched the cyclists who had died on UK roads as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle in the 12 months preceding June 2016. Some names were read out with some detail of their lives and death. Selected riders had agreed to lie down when particular names were read out, and the die-in started. After the most recent casualties were detailed, the other names were solemnly listed and a number of riders placed their bikes on the ground and released their red ribbon, signifying blood, and a silence was observed. This had been impossible to practice and choreograph, however it was a powerful statement. <br /> <br /> The remainder of the ride progressed almost without incident, barring a short cut over the pavement at the junction of Parliament St and Coppergate, an oversight by the ride leader. The route took us to our usual photo stop at the Eye of York, around the Fishergate Gyratory, over Ouse Bridge and through Bishopthorpe Road shops, up Scarcroft Road, cutting through Scarcroft Hill to Albermarle Road which led us to the Racecourse for a short obligatory stop near Ruby's Crossroads. From here it was only a short ride to the bridge. <br /> <br /> There were fewer riders than the previous year, but we felt the 'naked die-in', which we believe to be a World First for a WNBR, was successful, and something we might recreate in future years. There was no after-party venue available this year, something we do need to rectify for 2017.<br /> <br /> ==2015==<br /> Our route in 2015 started at Millennium Bridge and crossed the Ouse for a first stop at 'Ruby's Crossroads' to remember cyclists killed whilst riding. We then passed through the Racecourse, entering The Mount via Albermarle Road. We passed through Micklegate Bar, and clattered down the cobbles of Micklegate, crossed the river for the second time, and arrived at Coney Street just as the footstreets restriction finished at 5pm. At the end of Lendal, we turned towards the beautiful York Minster and cycled right next to it along Deangate. We then went along a backstreet called Aldwark, and arrive at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate via St Saviourgate. [[File: Stop_Driving.jpeg|220px|thumb|left|Wise advice from a York rider. Photo ©Toniminou 2015]] We went through the town centre a second time, along Pavement (that's a road called Pavement, not riding on a pavement!), Coppergate, Clifford Street and down for our photo-stop at Clifford's Tower.<br /> <br /> We then turned left out of the Eye of York, and cycled along Tower Street, Paragon Street, and through Fishergate Bar into George Street and Long Close Lane, which delivered us onto Walmgate and Navigation Road. We crossed York's newest bridge over the River Foss into Hungate, and from there into Peaseholme Green, onto the Inner Ring Road at Jewbury, St Maurice's Road, and along Lord Mayor's Walk. We headed into town yet again along Gillygate, St Leonard's Place, and crossed the Ouse for the third time at Lendal Bridge. At the West end of the bridge, we did a 180 degree left left onto Tanner's Moat, and then the home run via Wellington Row, North Street, Skeldergate, and Terry Avenue. We crossed Millennium Bridge again to finish where we started, on the East bank of the River, South of the beautiful Millennium Bridge. The full route was 7.6 miles.<br /> <br /> Highlights of the day were the awards before and after the ride and the photo-call on the steps of York Courthouse, adjacent to Clifford's Tower. Check us out [http://drmarionb.free.fr/YorkWNBR2015/Pages/3.html here]. Awards were given out to a couple of stalwarts of the ride - Margaret, our oldest rider and one of the minor stars of the now classic London 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSboWPlk-Rw World Naked Bike Ride film], otherwise known as &quot;Gran&quot;, and to Barry Freeman who was clocking up his 50th World Naked Bike Ride (beat that!). There was also a little prize for Tony H, aka the Green Man, who had ridden all the way up from Brighton. The photo-call with our banner &quot;Notice Us When We're Not Naked!&quot; once again attracted a lot of attention from York residents and tourists.<br /> <br /> Back at Millennium Bridge we took a lot more photos, then many of us headed off to the after party in a nearby hostelry, where naked pizzas and an Open Mic session were on offer. Many thanks to John C. for all his organising.<br /> <br /> ==2014==<br /> This was our longest ride yet, just under 9 miles. 122 riders left Millennium Bridge at 5.30pm and cycled around the West, centre and South East of York. We visited the Racecourse where a poem about cyclist deaths was read out, and a minute's silence observed. The poem was written for the 'Stop Killing Cyclists' London Die-In, protesting the many cyclist deaths there in 2013 and 2014. The ride then passed through Holgate, Poppleton Road, Water End and from Clifton Bridge to St Peter's Fields where there was had a photo-stop. Form here the route led through the centre of York, Clifford's Tower, and finally through the University and Walmgate Stray back to the Bridge. Immediately afterwards, there was a 'clothing optional' social, with live music and other entertainment in a nearby private venue, which was also used before the ride as a secure body-painting venue.<br /> <br /> ==2013==<br /> '''Turning heads'''<br /> <br /> As we gathered near the Millennium Bridge in the warm late afternoon sunshine for the Eighth York Naked Bike Ride, it gradually became evident that it would be a big one – perhaps the biggest yet. There was a good age and gender balance, and much preparative work had been done on body painting to very good effect. The weather was so favourable that hardly any of the stewards wanted to wear hi-viz yellow jackets. As we set off, on time, down the river path towards the university, my chain came off, so I ended up near the back of the long throng of cyclists. That enabled me to witness the immediate aftermath of a minor nose-to-tail collision between two cars travelling in the opposite direction along the Heslington Lane, as the irate woman in the front car got out to accost the poor, distracted woman sitting in the driver’s seat of the rear one.

Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.</div>

<p>John Cossham: /* 2019 */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb|RideLocation=York|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> Accounts of previous rides:<br /> ==2019==<br /> Our 13th ride took place on the afternoon of the 22nd June, at 4.15pm. The route passed through Heslington, Tang Hall, the Route 66 cycle track, the city centre, twice, and stopped at Clifford's Tower for a commemorative photoshoot. Before the ride, organisers were contacted by the grandparents of a lad called Dom, and probably his sister Moira, who wanted to give the kids a surprise. They indicated where they'd be standing, and organisers warned riders of this beforehand - so lots of riders greeted Dom and Moira on the way into St Helen's Square, see https://youtu.be/f6nbOr4qeIA<br /> There were 91 riders.<br /> <br /> ==2018==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2017==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2016==<br /> <br /> As usual we started at Millennium Bridge on the east of the River Ouse, at 5.30pm. We crossed the bridge and cycled along the bank northwards as far as Memorial Gardens, where we turned left to Leeman Road, and then left again over Skeldergae Bridge and left down St Leonard's Place and then along Gillygate, Lord Mayor's Walk and right back into town along Goodramgate to Duncombe Place where we had a stop, enabling coiled red ribbons to be given out for the 'Theatrical Happening' just a couple of minutes further on in St Helen's Square. We had agreed with Police to not arrive in the Square until 5.30, to ensure no clashes with the military vehicles which were taking down the war machine erected in Parliament St. However, just before we were due to leave Duncombe Place, a pedestrian fell in the street, we think unconnected with our presence, and our First Aider Stephen leapt to the rescue. We eventually were permitted to pass by and we assembled in St Helen's Square for the experimental event, based on the Stop Killing Cyclists 'die ins' to highlight cyclist deaths. John Cossham had researched the cyclists who had died on UK roads as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle in the 12 months preceding June 2016. Some names were read out with some detail of their lives and death. Selected riders had agreed to lie down when particular names were read out, and the die-in started. After the most recent casualties were detailed, the other names were solemnly listed and a number of riders placed their bikes on the ground and released their red ribbon, signifying blood, and a silence was observed. This had been impossible to practice and choreograph, however it was a powerful statement. <br /> <br /> The remainder of the ride progressed almost without incident, barring a short cut over the pavement at the junction of Parliament St and Coppergate, an oversight by the ride leader. The route took us to our usual photo stop at the Eye of York, around the Fishergate Gyratory, over Ouse Bridge and through Bishopthorpe Road shops, up Scarcroft Road, cutting through Scarcroft Hill to Albermarle Road which led us to the Racecourse for a short obligatory stop near Ruby's Crossroads. From here it was only a short ride to the bridge. <br /> <br /> There were fewer riders than the previous year, but we felt the 'naked die-in', which we believe to be a World First for a WNBR, was successful, and something we might recreate in future years. There was no after-party venue available this year, something we do need to rectify for 2017.<br /> <br /> ==2015==<br /> Our route in 2015 started at Millennium Bridge and crossed the Ouse for a first stop at 'Ruby's Crossroads' to remember cyclists killed whilst riding. We then passed through the Racecourse, entering The Mount via Albermarle Road. We passed through Micklegate Bar, and clattered down the cobbles of Micklegate, crossed the river for the second time, and arrived at Coney Street just as the footstreets restriction finished at 5pm. At the end of Lendal, we turned towards the beautiful York Minster and cycled right next to it along Deangate. We then went along a backstreet called Aldwark, and arrive at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate via St Saviourgate. [[File: Stop_Driving.jpeg|220px|thumb|left|Wise advice from a York rider. Photo ©Toniminou 2015]] We went through the town centre a second time, along Pavement (that's a road called Pavement, not riding on a pavement!), Coppergate, Clifford Street and down for our photo-stop at Clifford's Tower.<br /> <br /> We then turned left out of the Eye of York, and cycled along Tower Street, Paragon Street, and through Fishergate Bar into George Street and Long Close Lane, which delivered us onto Walmgate and Navigation Road. We crossed York's newest bridge over the River Foss into Hungate, and from there into Peaseholme Green, onto the Inner Ring Road at Jewbury, St Maurice's Road, and along Lord Mayor's Walk. We headed into town yet again along Gillygate, St Leonard's Place, and crossed the Ouse for the third time at Lendal Bridge. At the West end of the bridge, we did a 180 degree left left onto Tanner's Moat, and then the home run via Wellington Row, North Street, Skeldergate, and Terry Avenue. We crossed Millennium Bridge again to finish where we started, on the East bank of the River, South of the beautiful Millennium Bridge. The full route was 7.6 miles.<br /> <br /> Highlights of the day were the awards before and after the ride and the photo-call on the steps of York Courthouse, adjacent to Clifford's Tower. Check us out [http://drmarionb.free.fr/YorkWNBR2015/Pages/3.html here]. Awards were given out to a couple of stalwarts of the ride - Margaret, our oldest rider and one of the minor stars of the now classic London 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSboWPlk-Rw World Naked Bike Ride film], otherwise known as &quot;Gran&quot;, and to Barry Freeman who was clocking up his 50th World Naked Bike Ride (beat that!). There was also a little prize for Tony H, aka the Green Man, who had ridden all the way up from Brighton. The photo-call with our banner &quot;Notice Us When We're Not Naked!&quot; once again attracted a lot of attention from York residents and tourists.<br /> <br /> Back at Millennium Bridge we took a lot more photos, then many of us headed off to the after party in a nearby hostelry, where naked pizzas and an Open Mic session were on offer. Many thanks to John C. for all his organising.<br /> <br /> ==2014==<br /> This was our longest ride yet, just under 9 miles. 122 riders left Millennium Bridge at 5.30pm and cycled around the West, centre and South East of York. We visited the Racecourse where a poem about cyclist deaths was read out, and a minute's silence observed. The poem was written for the 'Stop Killing Cyclists' London Die-In, protesting the many cyclist deaths there in 2013 and 2014. The ride then passed through Holgate, Poppleton Road, Water End and from Clifton Bridge to St Peter's Fields where there was had a photo-stop. Form here the route led through the centre of York, Clifford's Tower, and finally through the University and Walmgate Stray back to the Bridge. Immediately afterwards, there was a 'clothing optional' social, with live music and other entertainment in a nearby private venue, which was also used before the ride as a secure body-painting venue.<br /> <br /> ==2013==<br /> '''Turning heads'''<br /> <br /> As we gathered near the Millennium Bridge in the warm late afternoon sunshine for the Eighth York Naked Bike Ride, it gradually became evident that it would be a big one – perhaps the biggest yet. There was a good age and gender balance, and much preparative work had been done on body painting to very good effect. The weather was so favourable that hardly any of the stewards wanted to wear hi-viz yellow jackets. As we set off, on time, down the river path towards the university, my chain came off, so I ended up near the back of the long throng of cyclists. That enabled me to witness the immediate aftermath of a minor nose-to-tail collision between two cars travelling in the opposite direction along the Heslington Lane, as the irate woman in the front car got out to accost the poor, distracted woman sitting in the driver’s seat of the rear one. [[File:YWNBR13_Notice_us.jpg|505px|thumb|right|York naked cyclists get themselves noticed at Cliffords Tower. Photo © Nigel Butterfield 2013]]Would we be mentioned as an excuse in some insurance claim? It set me in mind of a radio interview I had done several years earlier in which I had said I would like people to be able to cycle naked whenever the weather was suitable, which the interviewer had ridiculed on the grounds that it would cause lots of accidents. He had missed the point; what I wanted was a society in which it would be regarded as so natural, normal and commonplace for people to be naked in hot weather that no-one would turn their heads.<br /> <br /> As we cycled up the University Road, we could have been forgiven for thinking it was a Far Eastern University, since the route was lined with hundreds of Oriental students with their cameras and camera-phones. It was surely not chance that they were all there, so the publicity machine must have worked for them, so why weren’t there any on the actual ride? It’s obviously not natural, normal and commonplace for people to cycle naked in the Far East. There were even more Oriental students in town, as we were greeted with the usual cheering reception, though Parliament Street itself was comparatively deserted. Having been the front rider for the past three years, I had been used to being the one who presented the surprise element to unsuspecting members of the public, and could glean their reaction. At the rear, it became evident that many people had already got quite blasé by the time we passed, leading me to wonder whether naked cyclists really would pose such a head-turning threat if they were commonplace. I’ve never had any evidence that we have ever actually caused offence.<br /> <br /> Stopping at the Eye of York for group photos under Clifford’s Tower with a brand new banner proclaiming, “Notice us when we’re NOT naked”, enabled a head count at the resumption which showed that, at somewhere in the region of 110 riders, it was indeed the biggest yet. As far as I’m concerned the banner could have read, “Don’t notice that we are naked” – that would represent the biggest social triumph.<br /> <br /> (Hugh Dower)<br /> <br /> ==2012==<br /> Despite chilly weather, 79 riders were counted on the Clifford's Tower section of the ride, and it was by all accounts a very successful event. The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom Street, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> <br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ==2011==<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> (Tony)<br /> <br /> ==2010==<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ==2009==<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ==2008==<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run.

One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom Street, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> <br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ==2011==<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> (Tony)<br /> <br /> ==2010==<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ==2009==<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ==2008==<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.</div>

<p>John Cossham: /* 2019 */ Route info.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb|RideLocation=York|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> Accounts of previous rides:<br /> ==2019==<br /> Our 13th ride took place on the afternoon of the 22nd June, at 4.15pm. The route passed through Heslington, Tang Hall, the Route 66 cycle track, the city centre, twice, and stopped at Clifford's Tower for a commemorative photoshoot.<br /> <br /> ==2018==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2017==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2016==<br /> <br /> As usual we started at Millennium Bridge on the east of the River Ouse, at 5.30pm. We crossed the bridge and cycled along the bank northwards as far as Memorial Gardens, where we turned left to Leeman Road, and then left again over Skeldergae Bridge and left down St Leonard's Place and then along Gillygate, Lord Mayor's Walk and right back into town along Goodramgate to Duncombe Place where we had a stop, enabling coiled red ribbons to be given out for the 'Theatrical Happening' just a couple of minutes further on in St Helen's Square. We had agreed with Police to not arrive in the Square until 5.30, to ensure no clashes with the military vehicles which were taking down the war machine erected in Parliament St. However, just before we were due to leave Duncombe Place, a pedestrian fell in the street, we think unconnected with our presence, and our First Aider Stephen leapt to the rescue. We eventually were permitted to pass by and we assembled in St Helen's Square for the experimental event, based on the Stop Killing Cyclists 'die ins' to highlight cyclist deaths. John Cossham had researched the cyclists who had died on UK roads as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle in the 12 months preceding June 2016. Some names were read out with some detail of their lives and death. Selected riders had agreed to lie down when particular names were read out, and the die-in started. After the most recent casualties were detailed, the other names were solemnly listed and a number of riders placed their bikes on the ground and released their red ribbon, signifying blood, and a silence was observed. This had been impossible to practice and choreograph, however it was a powerful statement. <br /> <br /> The remainder of the ride progressed almost without incident, barring a short cut over the pavement at the junction of Parliament St and Coppergate, an oversight by the ride leader. The route took us to our usual photo stop at the Eye of York, around the Fishergate Gyratory, over Ouse Bridge and through Bishopthorpe Road shops, up Scarcroft Road, cutting through Scarcroft Hill to Albermarle Road which led us to the Racecourse for a short obligatory stop near Ruby's Crossroads. From here it was only a short ride to the bridge. <br /> <br /> There were fewer riders than the previous year, but we felt the 'naked die-in', which we believe to be a World First for a WNBR, was successful, and something we might recreate in future years. There was no after-party venue available this year, something we do need to rectify for 2017.<br /> <br /> ==2015==<br /> Our route in 2015 started at Millennium Bridge and crossed the Ouse for a first stop at 'Ruby's Crossroads' to remember cyclists killed whilst riding. We then passed through the Racecourse, entering The Mount via Albermarle Road. We passed through Micklegate Bar, and clattered down the cobbles of Micklegate, crossed the river for the second time, and arrived at Coney Street just as the footstreets restriction finished at 5pm. At the end of Lendal, we turned towards the beautiful York Minster and cycled right next to it along Deangate. We then went along a backstreet called Aldwark, and arrive at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate via St Saviourgate. [[File: Stop_Driving.jpeg|220px|thumb|left|Wise advice from a York rider. Photo ©Toniminou 2015]] We went through the town centre a second time, along Pavement (that's a road called Pavement, not riding on a pavement!), Coppergate, Clifford Street and down for our photo-stop at Clifford's Tower.<br /> <br /> We then turned left out of the Eye of York, and cycled along Tower Street, Paragon Street, and through Fishergate Bar into George Street and Long Close Lane, which delivered us onto Walmgate and Navigation Road. We crossed York's newest bridge over the River Foss into Hungate, and from there into Peaseholme Green, onto the Inner Ring Road at Jewbury, St Maurice's Road, and along Lord Mayor's Walk. We headed into town yet again along Gillygate, St Leonard's Place, and crossed the Ouse for the third time at Lendal Bridge. At the West end of the bridge, we did a 180 degree left left onto Tanner's Moat, and then the home run via Wellington Row, North Street, Skeldergate, and Terry Avenue. We crossed Millennium Bridge again to finish where we started, on the East bank of the River, South of the beautiful Millennium Bridge. The full route was 7.6 miles.<br /> <br /> Highlights of the day were the awards before and after the ride and the photo-call on the steps of York Courthouse, adjacent to Clifford's Tower. Check us out [http://drmarionb.free.fr/YorkWNBR2015/Pages/3.html here]. Awards were given out to a couple of stalwarts of the ride - Margaret, our oldest rider and one of the minor stars of the now classic London 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSboWPlk-Rw World Naked Bike Ride film], otherwise known as &quot;Gran&quot;, and to Barry Freeman who was clocking up his 50th World Naked Bike Ride (beat that!). There was also a little prize for Tony H, aka the Green Man, who had ridden all the way up from Brighton. The photo-call with our banner &quot;Notice Us When We're Not Naked!&quot; once again attracted a lot of attention from York residents and tourists.<br /> <br /> Back at Millennium Bridge we took a lot more photos, then many of us headed off to the after party in a nearby hostelry, where naked pizzas and an Open Mic session were on offer. Many thanks to John C. for all his organising.<br /> <br /> ==2014==<br /> This was our longest ride yet, just under 9 miles. 122 riders left Millennium Bridge at 5.30pm and cycled around the West, centre and South East of York. We visited the Racecourse where a poem about cyclist deaths was read out, and a minute's silence observed. The poem was written for the 'Stop Killing Cyclists' London Die-In, protesting the many cyclist deaths there in 2013 and 2014. The ride then passed through Holgate, Poppleton Road, Water End and from Clifton Bridge to St Peter's Fields where there was had a photo-stop. Form here the route led through the centre of York, Clifford's Tower, and finally through the University and Walmgate Stray back to the Bridge. Immediately afterwards, there was a 'clothing optional' social, with live music and other entertainment in a nearby private venue, which was also used before the ride as a secure body-painting venue.<br /> <br /> ==2013==<br /> '''Turning heads'''<br /> <br /> As we gathered near the Millennium Bridge in the warm late afternoon sunshine for the Eighth York Naked Bike Ride, it gradually became evident that it would be a big one – perhaps the biggest yet. There was a good age and gender balance, and much preparative work had been done on body painting to very good effect. The weather was so favourable that hardly any of the stewards wanted to wear hi-viz yellow jackets. As we set off, on time, down the river path towards the university, my chain came off, so I ended up near the back of the long throng of cyclists. That enabled me to witness the immediate aftermath of a minor nose-to-tail collision between two cars travelling in the opposite direction along the Heslington Lane, as the irate woman in the front car got out to accost the poor, distracted woman sitting in the driver’s seat of the rear one. [[File:YWNBR13_Notice_us.jpg|505px|thumb|right|York naked cyclists get themselves noticed at Cliffords Tower. Photo © Nigel Butterfield 2013]]Would we be mentioned as an excuse in some insurance claim? It set me in mind of a radio interview I had done several years earlier in which I had said I would like people to be able to cycle naked whenever the weather was suitable, which the interviewer had ridiculed on the grounds that it would cause lots of accidents. He had missed the point; what I wanted was a society in which it would be regarded as so natural, normal and commonplace for people to be naked in hot weather that no-one would turn their heads.<br /> <br /> As we cycled up the University Road, we could have been forgiven for thinking it was a Far Eastern University, since the route was lined with hundreds of Oriental students with their cameras and camera-phones. It was surely not chance that they were all there, so the publicity machine must have worked for them, so why weren’t there any on the actual ride? It’s obviously not natural, normal and commonplace for people to cycle naked in the Far East. There were even more Oriental students in town, as we were greeted with the usual cheering reception, though Parliament Street itself was comparatively deserted. Having been the front rider for the past three years, I had been used to being the one who presented the surprise element to unsuspecting members of the public, and could glean their reaction. At the rear, it became evident that many people had already got quite blasé by the time we passed, leading me to wonder whether naked cyclists really would pose such a head-turning threat if they were commonplace. I’ve never had any evidence that we have ever actually caused offence.<br /> <br /> Stopping at the Eye of York for group photos under Clifford’s Tower with a brand new banner proclaiming, “Notice us when we’re NOT naked”, enabled a head count at the resumption which showed that, at somewhere in the region of 110 riders, it was indeed the biggest yet. As far as I’m concerned the banner could have read, “Don’t notice that we are naked” – that would represent the biggest social triumph.<br /> <br /> (Hugh Dower)<br /> <br /> ==2012==<br /> Despite chilly weather, 79 riders were counted on the Clifford's Tower section of the ride, and it was by all accounts a very successful event. The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom Street, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver.

The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music.

Time to have some refreshments, decorate your bike, paint your slogans. Bodypainting gazebo may be available, if we find a volunteer to organise that. <br /> <br /> 4.15 pm Departure from Millennium Bridge. We will cross the bridge and stop briefly at 'Ruby's Crossroads' to mark the killing of Ruby Milnes, a 17 year old cyclist on a cycle track, run over by a lorry delivering to the racecourse, in 2008. Our route takes us past York Minster and Clifford's Tower where there will be a photo opportunity.<br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride.

<p>John Cossham: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb|RideLocation=York|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> Accounts of previous rides:<br /> ==2019==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2018==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2017==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2016==<br /> <br /> As usual we started at Millennium Bridge on the east of the River Ouse, at 5.30pm. We crossed the bridge and cycled along the bank northwards as far as Memorial Gardens, where we turned left to Leeman Road, and then left again over Skeldergae Bridge and left down St Leonard's Place and then along Gillygate, Lord Mayor's Walk and right back into town along Goodramgate to Duncombe Place where we had a stop, enabling coiled red ribbons to be given out for the 'Theatrical Happening' just a couple of minutes further on in St Helen's Square. We had agreed with Police to not arrive in the Square until 5.30, to ensure no clashes with the military vehicles which were taking down the war machine erected in Parliament St. However, just before we were due to leave Duncombe Place, a pedestrian fell in the street, we think unconnected with our presence, and our First Aider Stephen leapt to the rescue. We eventually were permitted to pass by and we assembled in St Helen's Square for the experimental event, based on the Stop Killing Cyclists 'die ins' to highlight cyclist deaths. John Cossham had researched the cyclists who had died on UK roads as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle in the 12 months preceding June 2016. Some names were read out with some detail of their lives and death. Selected riders had agreed to lie down when particular names were read out, and the die-in started. After the most recent casualties were detailed, the other names were solemnly listed and a number of riders placed their bikes on the ground and released their red ribbon, signifying blood, and a silence was observed. This had been impossible to practice and choreograph, however it was a powerful statement. <br /> <br /> The remainder of the ride progressed almost without incident, barring a short cut over the pavement at the junction of Parliament St and Coppergate, an oversight by the ride leader. The route took us to our usual photo stop at the Eye of York, around the Fishergate Gyratory, over Ouse Bridge and through Bishopthorpe Road shops, up Scarcroft Road, cutting through Scarcroft Hill to Albermarle Road which led us to the Racecourse for a short obligatory stop near Ruby's Crossroads. From here it was only a short ride to the bridge. <br /> <br /> There were fewer riders than the previous year, but we felt the 'naked die-in', which we believe to be a World First for a WNBR, was successful, and something we might recreate in future years. There was no after-party venue available this year, something we do need to rectify for 2017.<br /> <br /> ==2015==<br /> Our route in 2015 started at Millennium Bridge and crossed the Ouse for a first stop at 'Ruby's Crossroads' to remember cyclists killed whilst riding. We then passed through the Racecourse, entering The Mount via Albermarle Road. We passed through Micklegate Bar, and clattered down the cobbles of Micklegate, crossed the river for the second time, and arrived at Coney Street just as the footstreets restriction finished at 5pm. At the end of Lendal, we turned towards the beautiful York Minster and cycled right next to it along Deangate. We then went along a backstreet called Aldwark, and arrive at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate via St Saviourgate. [[File: Stop_Driving.jpeg|220px|thumb|left|Wise advice from a York rider. Photo ©Toniminou 2015]] We went through the town centre a second time, along Pavement (that's a road called Pavement, not riding on a pavement!), Coppergate, Clifford Street and down for our photo-stop at Clifford's Tower.<br /> <br /> We then turned left out of the Eye of York, and cycled along Tower Street, Paragon Street, and through Fishergate Bar into George Street and Long Close Lane, which delivered us onto Walmgate and Navigation Road. We crossed York's newest bridge over the River Foss into Hungate, and from there into Peaseholme Green, onto the Inner Ring Road at Jewbury, St Maurice's Road, and along Lord Mayor's Walk. We headed into town yet again along Gillygate, St Leonard's Place, and crossed the Ouse for the third time at Lendal Bridge. At the West end of the bridge, we did a 180 degree left left onto Tanner's Moat, and then the home run via Wellington Row, North Street, Skeldergate, and Terry Avenue. We crossed Millennium Bridge again to finish where we started, on the East bank of the River, South of the beautiful Millennium Bridge. The full route was 7.6 miles.<br /> <br /> Highlights of the day were the awards before and after the ride and the photo-call on the steps of York Courthouse, adjacent to Clifford's Tower. Check us out [http://drmarionb.free.fr/YorkWNBR2015/Pages/3.html here]. Awards were given out to a couple of stalwarts of the ride - Margaret, our oldest rider and one of the minor stars of the now classic London 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSboWPlk-Rw World Naked Bike Ride film], otherwise known as &quot;Gran&quot;, and to Barry Freeman who was clocking up his 50th World Naked Bike Ride (beat that!). There was also a little prize for Tony H, aka the Green Man, who had ridden all the way up from Brighton. The photo-call with our banner &quot;Notice Us When We're Not Naked!&quot; once again attracted a lot of attention from York residents and tourists.<br /> <br /> Back at Millennium Bridge we took a lot more photos, then many of us headed off to the after party in a nearby hostelry, where naked pizzas and an Open Mic session were on offer. Many thanks to John C. for all his organising.<br /> <br /> ==2014==<br /> This was our longest ride yet, just under 9 miles. 122 riders left Millennium Bridge at 5.30pm and cycled around the West, centre and South East of York. We visited the Racecourse where a poem about cyclist deaths was read out, and a minute's silence observed. The poem was written for the 'Stop Killing Cyclists' London Die-In, protesting the many cyclist deaths there in 2013 and 2014. The ride then passed through Holgate, Poppleton Road, Water End and from Clifton Bridge to St Peter's Fields where there was had a photo-stop. Form here the route led through the centre of York, Clifford's Tower, and finally through the University and Walmgate Stray back to the Bridge. Immediately afterwards, there was a 'clothing optional' social, with live music and other entertainment in a nearby private venue, which was also used before the ride as a secure body-painting venue.<br /> <br /> ==2013==<br /> '''Turning heads'''<br /> <br /> As we gathered near the Millennium Bridge in the warm late afternoon sunshine for the Eighth York Naked Bike Ride, it gradually became evident that it would be a big one – perhaps the biggest yet. There was a good age and gender balance, and much preparative work had been done on body painting to very good effect. The weather was so favourable that hardly any of the stewards wanted to wear hi-viz yellow jackets. As we set off, on time, down the river path towards the university, my chain came off, so I ended up near the back of the long throng of cyclists. That enabled me to witness the immediate aftermath of a minor nose-to-tail collision between two cars travelling in the opposite direction along the Heslington Lane, as the irate woman in the front car got out to accost the poor, distracted woman sitting in the driver’s seat of the rear one. [[File:YWNBR13_Notice_us.jpg|505px|thumb|right|York naked cyclists get themselves noticed at Cliffords Tower. Photo © Nigel Butterfield 2013]]Would we be mentioned as an excuse in some insurance claim? It set me in mind of a radio interview I had done several years earlier in which I had said I would like people to be able to cycle naked whenever the weather was suitable, which the interviewer had ridiculed on the grounds that it would cause lots of accidents. He had missed the point; what I wanted was a society in which it would be regarded as so natural, normal and commonplace for people to be naked in hot weather that no-one would turn their heads.<br /> <br /> As we cycled up the University Road, we could have been forgiven for thinking it was a Far Eastern University, since the route was lined with hundreds of Oriental students with their cameras and camera-phones. It was surely not chance that they were all there, so the publicity machine must have worked for them, so why weren’t there any on the actual ride? It’s obviously not natural, normal and commonplace for people to cycle naked in the Far East. There were even more Oriental students in town, as we were greeted with the usual cheering reception, though Parliament Street itself was comparatively deserted. Having been the front rider for the past three years, I had been used to being the one who presented the surprise element to unsuspecting members of the public, and could glean their reaction. At the rear, it became evident that many people had already got quite blasé by the time we passed, leading me to wonder whether naked cyclists really would pose such a head-turning threat if they were commonplace. I’ve never had any evidence that we have ever actually caused offence.<br /> <br /> Stopping at the Eye of York for group photos under Clifford’s Tower with a brand new banner proclaiming, “Notice us when we’re NOT naked”, enabled a head count at the resumption which showed that, at somewhere in the region of 110 riders, it was indeed the biggest yet. As far as I’m concerned the banner could have read, “Don’t notice that we are naked” – that would represent the biggest social triumph.<br /> <br /> (Hugh Dower)<br /> <br /> ==2012==<br /> Despite chilly weather, 79 riders were counted on the Clifford's Tower section of the ride, and it was by all accounts a very successful event. The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom Street, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> <br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ==2011==<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> (Tony)<br /> <br /> ==2010==<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ==2009==<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ==2008==<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.</div>

Local police officially acknowledged the legality of full nudity at all rides from 2007 onward. They required people to wear clothes at three English rides ([[Brighton]], [[Manchester]] and [[Bristol]]) in 2006, but have made no such restrictions at later events.<br /> <br /> In contrast, Scottish police have never officially allowed full nudity at the [[Edinburgh]] rides No arrest have been made, so the legality of the Scottish police's position has never actually been tested in court. They have in late 2018 indicated that their approach to this has changed, and that nudity will be possible in future.<br /> <br /> For UK rides where full nudity ''wasn't'' permitted, police requirements of body coverage seemed to be similar. The groin area needed to be covered, as did female nipples. However, buttocks could be shown by either men or women.<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> <br /> This section needs updating.

Local police officially acknowledged the legality of full nudity at all rides from 2007 onward. They required people to wear clothes at three English rides ([[Brighton]], [[Manchester]] and [[Bristol]]) in 2006, but have made no such restrictions at later events.<br /> <br /> In contrast, Scottish police have never officially allowed full nudity at the [[Edinburgh]] rides No arrest have been made, so the legality of the Scottish police's position has never actually been tested in court. They have in late 2018 indicated that their approach to this has changed, and that nudity will be possible in future.<br /> <br /> For UK rides where full nudity ''wasn't'' permitted, police requirements of body coverage seemed to be similar. The groin area needed to be covered, as did female nipples. However, buttocks could be shown by either men or women.<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> <br /> This section needs updating.

<p>John Cossham: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> Other Northern rides: [[Newcastle Gateshead]], [[Manchester]], [[Scarborough]], [[Edinburgh]].<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. It is equally a celebration of the bike and the human body.<br /> <br /> The York WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week]<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 2em;&quot;&gt;[[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Bike Week|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/event_search.php?pagemode=display&amp;googleMap=y&amp;event_id=1946]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 3em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/events/1346991262004235/ Join the Ride!]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/groups/york.wnbr/ Join our Group]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UK donations link}}<br /> <br /> {{Ride location next ride|Date=Saturday 23 June 2018.|Time= 4.30pm prompt |Location= Assembly/departure point: 50 metres south of Millennium Bridge on the Fulford (east) side of the river.}}<br /> As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> ==Route and schedule==<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Ride schedule'''<br /> <br /> This is the ride schedule for 2018. <br /> <br /> 2.00 pm Gathering of riders at Millennium Bridge. Time to have some refreshments, decorate your bike, paint your slogans. Bodypainting gazebo may be available, we are aiming to get professional face/body painters to help out. <br /> <br /> 4.30 pm Departure from Millennium Bridge. We will cycle through the Racecourse (includes a stop to remember cyclists killed whilst on their bikes), Hob Moor, Acomb, Water End, Leeman Road, Ouse cycle path, a stop near Memorial Gardens, Rougier St, North St, Ouse Bridge, Coney St, St Helen's Square, Daveygate, Church St, Swinegate, Grape Lane, Low Petergate, Colliergate, Pavement, Coppergate, Tower St, Eye Of York (photo stop), Tower Gardens, New Walk, Millennium Bridge, at approximately 6.30pm. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride. Lot of useful tips, suggestions and links to further information. It's updated every year to reflect changing needs. The 2016 version of the Advice is still available and can be consulted '''[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/9/93/York_WNBR_Advice_for_Riders_2016.pdf here].''' We'll post the new version in this section when it's ready.<br /> <br /> ==Press and Publicity==<br /> <br /> The 2018 Press Release will be downloadable here a few days before the ride.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''2018 FLYER''' (available soon!)<br /> <br /> The 2017 York flyer can still be downloaded by clicking on the link below. The flyer is designed to be printed double-sided in A5 format, although you can print the front as an A4 poster if you wish.<br /> <br /> '''[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/0/0f/YWNBR17_Flyer_Final.pdf York WNBR 2017 A5 Flyer (double-sided)]'''<br /> <br /> Please try and place any publicity materials in a prominent position in your local community centre, college, bike shop etc and circulate amongst your cycling friends and fellow activists. Laminated versions can even be displayed at key locations outside, e.g. attached to lamp-posts along cycle paths. With a little ingenuity flyers can also be attached to bikes. When organising leaflet distribution we are often on the look-out for a place where we can leave flyers for people to collect (with a person or business in York perhaps).

We crossed the bridge and cycled along the bank northwards as far as Memorial Gardens, where we turned left to Leeman Road, and then left again over Skeldergae Bridge and left down St Leonard's Place and then alongGillygate, Lord Mayor's Walk and right back into town along Goodramgate to Duncombe Place where we had a stop, enabling coiled red ribbons to be given out for the 'Theatrical Happening' just a couple of minutes further on in St Helen's Square. We had agreed with Police to not arrive in the Square until 5.30, to ensure no clashes with the military vehicles which were taking down the war machine erected in Parliament St. However, just before we were due to leave Duncombe Place, a pedestrian fell in the street, we think unconnected with our presence, and our First Aider Stephen leapt to the rescue. We eventually were permitted to pass by and we assembled in St Helen's Square for the experimental event, based on the Stop Killing Cyclists 'die ins' to highlight cyclist deaths. John Cossham had researched the cyclists who had died on UK roads as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle in the 12 months preceding June 2016. Some names were read out with some detail of their lives and death. Selected riders had agreed to lie down when particular names were read out, and the die-in started. After the most recent casualties were detailed, the other names were solemnly listed and a number of riders placed their bikes on the ground and released their red ribbon, signifying blood, and a silence was observed. This had been impossible to practice and choreograph, however it was a powerful statement. <br /> <br /> The remainder of the ride progressed almost without incident, barring a short cut over the pavement at the junction of Parliament St and Coppergate, an oversight by the ride leader. The route took us to our usual photo stop at the Eye of York, around the Fishergate Gyratory, over Ouse Bridge and through Bishopthorpe Road shops, up Scarcroft Road, cutting through Scarcroft Hill to Albermarle Road which led us to the Racecourse for a short obligatory stop near Ruby's Crossroads. From here it was only a short ride to the bridge. <br /> <br /> There were fewer riders than the previous year, but we felt the 'naked die-in', which we believe to be a World First for a WNBR, was successful, and something we might recreate in future years. There was no after-party venue available this year, something we do need to rectify for 2017. <br /> <br /> ===2015===<br /> Our route in 2015 started at Millennium Bridge and crossed the Ouse for a first stop at 'Ruby's Crossroads' to remember cyclists killed whilst riding. We then passed through the Racecourse, entering The Mount via Albermarle Road. We passed through Micklegate Bar, and clattered down the cobbles of Micklegate, crossed the river for the second time, and arrived at Coney Street just as the footstreets restriction finished at 5pm. At the end of Lendal, we turned towards the beautiful York Minster and cycled right next to it along Deangate. We then went along a backstreet called Aldwark, and arrive at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate via St Saviourgate. [[File: Stop_Driving.jpeg|220px|thumb|left|Wise advice from a York rider. Photo ©Toniminou 2015]] We went through the town centre a second time, along Pavement (that's a road called Pavement, not riding on a pavement!), Coppergate, Clifford Street and down for our photo-stop at Clifford's Tower.<br /> <br /> We then turned left out of the Eye of York, and cycled along Tower Street, Paragon Street, and through Fishergate Bar into George Street and Long Close Lane, which delivered us onto Walmgate and Navigation Road. We crossed York's newest bridge over the River Foss into Hungate, and from there into Peaseholme Green, onto the Inner Ring Road at Jewbury, St Maurice's Road, and along Lord Mayor's Walk. We headed into town yet again along Gillygate, St Leonard's Place, and crossed the Ouse for the third time at Lendal Bridge. At the West end of the bridge, we did a 180 degree left left onto Tanner's Moat, and then the home run via Wellington Row, North Street, Skeldergate, and Terry Avenue. We crossed Millennium Bridge again to finish where we started, on the East bank of the River, South of the beautiful Millennium Bridge. The full route was 7.6 miles.<br /> <br /> Highlights of the day were the awards before and after the ride and the photo-call on the steps of York Courthouse, adjacent to Clifford's Tower. Check us out [http://drmarionb.free.fr/YorkWNBR2015/Pages/3.html here]. Awards were given out to a couple of stalwarts of the ride - Margaret, our oldest rider and one of the minor stars of the now classic London 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSboWPlk-Rw World Naked Bike Ride film], otherwise known as &quot;Gran&quot;, and to Barry Freeman who was clocking up his 50th World Naked Bike Ride (beat that!). There was also a little prize for Tony H, aka the Green Man, who had ridden all the way up from Brighton. The photo-call with our banner &quot;Notice Us When We're Not Naked!&quot; once again attracted a lot of attention from York residents and tourists.<br /> <br /> Back at Millennium Bridge we took a lot more photos, then many of us headed off to the after party in a nearby hostelry, where naked pizzas and an Open Mic session were on offer. Many thanks to John C. for all his organising.<br /> <br /> ===2014===<br /> This was our longest ride yet, just under 9 miles. 122 riders left Millennium Bridge at 5.30pm and cycled around the West, centre and South East of York. We visited the Racecourse where a poem about cyclist deaths was read out, and a minute's silence observed. The poem was written for the 'Stop Killing Cyclists' London Die-In, protesting the many cyclist deaths there in 2013 and 2014. The ride then passed through Holgate, Poppleton Road, Water End and from Clifton Bridge to St Peter's Fields where there was had a photo-stop. Form here the route led through the centre of York, Clifford's Tower, and finally through the University and Walmgate Stray back to the Bridge. Immediately afterwards, there was a 'clothing optional' social, with live music and other entertainment in a nearby private venue, which was also used before the ride as a secure body-painting venue.<br /> <br /> ===2013===<br /> '''Turning heads'''<br /> <br /> As we gathered near the Millennium Bridge in the warm late afternoon sunshine for the Eighth York Naked Bike Ride, it gradually became evident that it would be a big one – perhaps the biggest yet. There was a good age and gender balance, and much preparative work had been done on body painting to very good effect. The weather was so favourable that hardly any of the stewards wanted to wear hi-viz yellow jackets. As we set off, on time, down the river path towards the university, my chain came off, so I ended up near the back of the long throng of cyclists. That enabled me to witness the immediate aftermath of a minor nose-to-tail collision between two cars travelling in the opposite direction along the Heslington Lane, as the irate woman in the front car got out to accost the poor, distracted woman sitting in the driver’s seat of the rear one. [[File:YWNBR13_Notice_us.jpg|505px|thumb|right|York naked cyclists get themselves noticed at Cliffords Tower. Photo © Nigel Butterfield 2013]]Would we be mentioned as an excuse in some insurance claim? It set me in mind of a radio interview I had done several years earlier in which I had said I would like people to be able to cycle naked whenever the weather was suitable, which the interviewer had ridiculed on the grounds that it would cause lots of accidents. He had missed the point; what I wanted was a society in which it would be regarded as so natural, normal and commonplace for people to be naked in hot weather that no-one would turn their heads.<br /> <br /> As we cycled up the University Road, we could have been forgiven for thinking it was a Far Eastern University, since the route was lined with hundreds of Oriental students with their cameras and camera-phones. It was surely not chance that they were all there, so the publicity machine must have worked for them, so why weren’t there any on the actual ride? It’s obviously not natural, normal and commonplace for people to cycle naked in the Far East. There were even more Oriental students in town, as we were greeted with the usual cheering reception, though Parliament Street itself was comparatively deserted. Having been the front rider for the past three years, I had been used to being the one who presented the surprise element to unsuspecting members of the public, and could glean their reaction. At the rear, it became evident that many people had already got quite blasé by the time we passed, leading me to wonder whether naked cyclists really would pose such a head-turning threat if they were commonplace. I’ve never had any evidence that we have ever actually caused offence.<br /> <br /> Stopping at the Eye of York for group photos under Clifford’s Tower with a brand new banner proclaiming, “Notice us when we’re NOT naked”, enabled a head count at the resumption which showed that, at somewhere in the region of 110 riders, it was indeed the biggest yet. As far as I’m concerned the banner could have read, “Don’t notice that we are naked” – that would represent the biggest social triumph.<br /> <br /> (Hugh Dower)<br /> <br /> ===2012===<br /> Despite chilly weather, 79 riders were counted on the Clifford's Tower section of the ride, and it was by all accounts a very successful event. The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom Street, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> <br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> (Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages.

It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Ride schedule'''<br /> <br /> This is the ride schedule for 2016:<br /> <br /> 3.00 - 5.00 pm Gathering of riders at Millennium Bridge.

We crossed the bridge and cycled along the bank northwards as far as Memorial Gardens, where we turned left to Leeman Road, and then left again over Skeldergae Bridge and left down St Leonard's Place and then alongGillygate, Lord Mayor's Walk and right back into town along Goodramgate to Duncombe Place where we had a stop, enabling coiled red ribbons to be given out for the 'Theatrical Happening' just a couple of minutes further on in St Helen's Square. We had agreed with Police to not arrive in the Square until 5.30, to ensure no clashes with the military vehicles which were taking down the war machine erected in Parliament St. However, just before we were due to leave Duncombe Place, a pedestrian fell in the street, we think unconnected with our presence, and our First Aider Stephen leapt to the rescue. We eventually were permitted to pass by and we assembled in St Helen's Square for the experimental event, based on the Stop Killing Cyclists 'die ins' to highlight cyclist deaths. John Cossham had researched the cyclists who had died on UK roads as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle in the 12 months preceding June 2016. Some names were read out with some detail of their lives and death. Selected riders had agreed to lie down when particular names were read out, and the die-in started. After the most recent casualties were detailed, the other names were solemnly listed and a number of riders placed their bikes on the ground and released their red ribbon, signifying blood, and a silence was observed. This had been impossible to practice and choreograph, however it was a powerful statement. <br /> <br /> The remainder of the ride progressed almost without incident, barring a short cut over the pavement at the junction of Parliament St and Coppergate, an oversight by the ride leader. The route took us to our usual photo stop at the Eye of York, around the Fishergate Gyratory, over Ouse Bridge and through Bishopthorpe Road shops, up Scarcroft Road, cutting through Scarcroft Hill to Albermarle Road which led us to the Racecourse for a short obligatory stop near Ruby's Crossroads. From here it was only a short ride to the bridge. <br /> <br /> There were fewer riders than the previous year, but we felt the 'naked die-in', which we believe to be a World First for a WNBR, was successful, and something we might recreate in future years. There was no after-party venue available this year, something we do need to rectify for 2017. <br /> <br /> ===2015===<br /> Our route in 2015 started at Millennium Bridge and crossed the Ouse for a first stop at 'Ruby's Crossroads' to remember cyclists killed whilst riding. We then passed through the Racecourse, entering The Mount via Albermarle Road. We passed through Micklegate Bar, and clattered down the cobbles of Micklegate, crossed the river for the second time, and arrived at Coney Street just as the footstreets restriction finished at 5pm. At the end of Lendal, we turned towards the beautiful York Minster and cycled right next to it along Deangate. We then went along a backstreet called Aldwark, and arrive at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate via St Saviourgate. [[File: Stop_Driving.jpeg|220px|thumb|left|Wise advice from a York rider. Photo ©Toniminou 2015]] We went through the town centre a second time, along Pavement (that's a road called Pavement, not riding on a pavement!), Coppergate, Clifford Street and down for our photo-stop at Clifford's Tower.<br /> <br /> We then turned left out of the Eye of York, and cycled along Tower Street, Paragon Street, and through Fishergate Bar into George Street and Long Close Lane, which delivered us onto Walmgate and Navigation Road. We crossed York's newest bridge over the River Foss into Hungate, and from there into Peaseholme Green, onto the Inner Ring Road at Jewbury, St Maurice's Road, and along Lord Mayor's Walk. We headed into town yet again along Gillygate, St Leonard's Place, and crossed the Ouse for the third time at Lendal Bridge. At the West end of the bridge, we did a 180 degree left left onto Tanner's Moat, and then the home run via Wellington Row, North Street, Skeldergate, and Terry Avenue. We crossed Millennium Bridge again to finish where we started, on the East bank of the River, South of the beautiful Millennium Bridge. The full route was 7.6 miles.<br /> <br /> Highlights of the day were the awards before and after the ride and the photo-call on the steps of York Courthouse, adjacent to Clifford's Tower. Check us out [http://drmarionb.free.fr/YorkWNBR2015/Pages/3.html here]. Awards were given out to a couple of stalwarts of the ride - Margaret, our oldest rider and one of the minor stars of the now classic London 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSboWPlk-Rw World Naked Bike Ride film], otherwise known as &quot;Gran&quot;, and to Barry Freeman who was clocking up his 50th World Naked Bike Ride (beat that!). There was also a little prize for Tony H, aka the Green Man, who had ridden all the way up from Brighton. The photo-call with our banner &quot;Notice Us When We're Not Naked!&quot; once again attracted a lot of attention from York residents and tourists.<br /> <br /> Back at Millennium Bridge we took a lot more photos, then many of us headed off to the after party in a nearby hostelry, where naked pizzas and an Open Mic session were on offer. Many thanks to John C. for all his organising.<br /> <br /> ===2014===<br /> This was our longest ride yet, just under 9 miles. 122 riders left Millennium Bridge at 5.30pm and cycled around the West, centre and South East of York. We visited the Racecourse where a poem about cyclist deaths was read out, and a minute's silence observed. The poem was written for the 'Stop Killing Cyclists' London Die-In, protesting the many cyclist deaths there in 2013 and 2014. The ride then passed through Holgate, Poppleton Road, Water End and from Clifton Bridge to St Peter's Fields where there was had a photo-stop. Form here the route led through the centre of York, Clifford's Tower, and finally through the University and Walmgate Stray back to the Bridge. Immediately afterwards, there was a 'clothing optional' social, with live music and other entertainment in a nearby private venue, which was also used before the ride as a secure body-painting venue.<br /> <br /> ===2013===<br /> '''Turning heads'''<br /> <br /> As we gathered near the Millennium Bridge in the warm late afternoon sunshine for the Eighth York Naked Bike Ride, it gradually became evident that it would be a big one – perhaps the biggest yet. There was a good age and gender balance, and much preparative work had been done on body painting to very good effect. The weather was so favourable that hardly any of the stewards wanted to wear hi-viz yellow jackets. As we set off, on time, down the river path towards the university, my chain came off, so I ended up near the back of the long throng of cyclists. That enabled me to witness the immediate aftermath of a minor nose-to-tail collision between two cars travelling in the opposite direction along the Heslington Lane, as the irate woman in the front car got out to accost the poor, distracted woman sitting in the driver’s seat of the rear one. [[File:YWNBR13_Notice_us.jpg|505px|thumb|right|York naked cyclists get themselves noticed at Cliffords Tower. Photo © Nigel Butterfield 2013]]Would we be mentioned as an excuse in some insurance claim? It set me in mind of a radio interview I had done several years earlier in which I had said I would like people to be able to cycle naked whenever the weather was suitable, which the interviewer had ridiculed on the grounds that it would cause lots of accidents. He had missed the point; what I wanted was a society in which it would be regarded as so natural, normal and commonplace for people to be naked in hot weather that no-one would turn their heads.<br /> <br /> As we cycled up the University Road, we could have been forgiven for thinking it was a Far Eastern University, since the route was lined with hundreds of Oriental students with their cameras and camera-phones. It was surely not chance that they were all there, so the publicity machine must have worked for them, so why weren’t there any on the actual ride? It’s obviously not natural, normal and commonplace for people to cycle naked in the Far East. There were even more Oriental students in town, as we were greeted with the usual cheering reception, though Parliament Street itself was comparatively deserted. Having been the front rider for the past three years, I had been used to being the one who presented the surprise element to unsuspecting members of the public, and could glean their reaction. At the rear, it became evident that many people had already got quite blasé by the time we passed, leading me to wonder whether naked cyclists really would pose such a head-turning threat if they were commonplace. I’ve never had any evidence that we have ever actually caused offence.<br /> <br /> Stopping at the Eye of York for group photos under Clifford’s Tower with a brand new banner proclaiming, “Notice us when we’re NOT naked”, enabled a head count at the resumption which showed that, at somewhere in the region of 110 riders, it was indeed the biggest yet. As far as I’m concerned the banner could have read, “Don’t notice that we are naked” – that would represent the biggest social triumph.<br /> <br /> (Hugh Dower)<br /> <br /> ===2012===<br /> Despite chilly weather, 79 riders were counted on the Clifford's Tower section of the ride, and it was by all accounts a very successful event. The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom Street, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> <br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> (Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages.

<p>John Cossham: /* Route and schedule */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture.

The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> <br /> '''This is our route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights (police assist),<br /> <br /> Broadway, to Heslington,<br /> <br /> Left at the roundabout into University Road<br /> <br /> Straight up and round to the right towards Green Dykes Lane,<br /> <br /> Left into Thief Lane (which becomes Heslington Road at The Retreat),<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Left filter into Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Follow Gyratory round to the right,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Cross Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Turn left and double back, and left under Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate,<br /> <br /> Cross Micklegate at the lights to North St (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Go past Bike Rescue Hub Station and under Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Cycle along Wellington Row, the riverside next to Memorial Gardens,<br /> <br /> Turn left between Memorial Gardens and Westgate Apartments,<br /> <br /> Turn left into Leeman Road with Memorial Gardens on left,<br /> <br /> Turn left onto Station Avenue, under the Wall (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Left through the pedestrian lights to Station Road,<br /> <br /> Over Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Museum St,<br /> <br /> Cross to Duncombe Place through traffic lights (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Turn right into Petergate, Low Petergate,<br /> <br /> Right into Church St,<br /> <br /> Left into Parliament St,<br /> <br /> At the bottom of Parliament St, right into Coppergate (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Left into Clifford St, Tower St (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Left into the Eye of York,<br /> <br /> '''PHOTO STOP (approx 7pm) Riders will dismount and hold banner 'Notice Us When We're Not Naked' for photographers.'''<br /> <br /> Leave the Eye of York and cross Tower St to Tower Gardens (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Skirt the edge of Tower Gardens and turn left at the riverside,<br /> <br /> Take the cycle path between St George's Field and the river,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss as it enters the Ouse at the Blue Bridge,<br /> <br /> New Walk,<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge, Finish (approx 7.15pm).<br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> The updated 2012 version is still available as a download.<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride.

Laminated versions can even be displayed at key locations outside, e.g. attached to lamp-posts along cycle paths. With a little ingenuity flyers can also be attached to bikes. When organising leaflet distribution we are often on the look-out for a place where we can leave flyers for people to collect (with a person or business in York perhaps). If you know of a business that might be up for this, please write to york [at] worldnakedbikeride [dot] org.<br /> <br /> '''If you would like to donate some art-work for future York WNBR events, please get in touch.'''<br /> <br /> ==Bike hire==<br /> Bikes can be hired from the following places:<br /> <br /> '''[http://www.bobtrottercycles.com Giant]''' (formerly known as Bob Trotters), 13-15 Lord Mayors Walk, York, YO31 7HB, T: 01904 622868&lt;br /&gt;<br /> City centre cycle hire store just outside the city walls, a short stroll from York Minster.

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2013===<br /> * [http://immortallife.info/ The Immortal Life], 15 May 2013: [http://immortallife.info/articles/entry/world-naked-bike-ride/ Stop Humanity's &quot;Indecent Exposure&quot;

<p>John Cossham: /* Route and schedule */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. It is equally a celebration of the bike and the human body.<br /> <br /> The York WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week 2013] (15-23 June).<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 2em;&quot;&gt;[[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Bike Week, 15-23 June 2013|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/event_search.php?pagemode=display&amp;googleMap=y&amp;event_id=1946]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 3em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/events/177537522394880/ Join the Ride!]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/groups/york.wnbr/ Join our Group]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UK donations link}}<br /> <br /> {{Ride location next ride|Date=FRIDAY 21 JUNE 2013 (Summer Solstice).|Time=Departing 6 pm|Location=Assembly/departure point: 50 metres south of Millennium Bridge on the Fulford (east) side of the river, from about 4.30 pm onwards.}}<br /> <br /> ==Route and schedule==<br /> <br /> The 2013 Ride will take us through the University for the first time, although the city centre part of the route will be familiar. The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> <br /> '''This is our route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights (police assist),<br /> <br /> Broadway, to Heslington,<br /> <br /> Left at the roundabout into University Road<br /> <br /> Straight up and round to the right towards Green Dykes Lane,<br /> <br /> Left into Thief Lane (which becomes Heslington Road at The Retreat),<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Left filter into Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Follow Gyratory round to the right,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Cross Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Turn left and double back, and left under Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate,<br /> <br /> Cross Micklegate at the lights to North St (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Go past Bike Rescue Hub Station and under Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Cycle along Wellington Row, the riverside next to Memorial Gardens,<br /> <br /> Turn left between Memorial Gardens and Westgate Apartments,<br /> <br /> Turn left into Leeman Road with Memorial Gardens on left,<br /> <br /> Turn left onto Station Avenue, under the Wall (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Left through the pedestrian lights to Station Road,<br /> <br /> Over Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Museum St,<br /> <br /> Cross to Duncombe Place through traffic lights (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Turn right into Petergate, Low Petergate,<br /> <br /> Right into Church St,<br /> <br /> Left into Parliament St,<br /> <br /> At the bottom of Parliament St, right into Coppergate (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Left into Clifford St, Tower St (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Left into the Eye of York,<br /> '''<br /> PHOTO STOP (approx 7pm) Riders will dismount and hold banner 'Notice Us When We're Not Naked' for photographers.'''<br /> <br /> Leave the Eye of York and cross Tower St to Tower Gardens (Police assist),<br /> <br /> Skirt the edge of Tower Gardens and turn left at the riverside,<br /> <br /> Take the cycle path between St George's Field and the river,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss as it enters the Ouse at the Blue Bridge,<br /> <br /> New Walk,<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge, Finish (approx 7.15pm).<br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> The updated 2012 version is still available as a download.<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride.

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2013===<br /> * [http://immortallife.info/ The Immortal Life], 15 May 2013: [http://immortallife.info/articles/entry/world-naked-bike-ride/ Stop Humanity's &quot;Indecent Exposure&quot;

<p>John Cossham: /* Route and schedule */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. It is equally a celebration of the bike and the human body.<br /> <br /> The York WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week 2013] (15-23 June).<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 2em;&quot;&gt;[[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Bike Week, 15-23 June 2013|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/event_search.php?pagemode=display&amp;googleMap=y&amp;event_id=1946]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 3em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/events/177537522394880/ Join the Ride!]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/groups/york.wnbr/ Join our Group]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UK donations link}}<br /> <br /> {{Ride location next ride|Date=FRIDAY 21 JUNE 2013 (Summer Solstice).|Time=Departing 6 pm|Location=Assembly/departure point: 50 metres south of Millennium Bridge on the Fulford (east) side of the river, from about 4.30 pm onwards.}}<br /> <br /> ==Route and schedule==<br /> <br /> The 2013 Ride will take us through the University for the first time, although the city centre part of the route will be familiar. The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> '''This is the proposed route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> University Road<br /> <br /> Left into Thief Lane (which becomes Heslington Road at The Retreat),<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> [[Image:2013_Route_with_Google_mapping_Tool_-_Central_area.jpg|500px|thumb|right|.

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2013===<br /> * [http://immortallife.info/ The Immortal Life], 15 May 2013: [http://immortallife.info/articles/entry/world-naked-bike-ride/ Stop Humanity's &quot;Indecent Exposure&quot;

<p>John Cossham: /* Route and schedule */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture.

The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> '''This is the proposed route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> University Road<br /> <br /> Left into Thief Lane (which becomes Heslington Road at The Retreat),<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> [[Image:2013_Route_with_Google_mapping_Tool_-_Central_area.jpg|500px|thumb|right|.

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2013===<br /> * [http://immortallife.info/ The Immortal Life], 15 May 2013: [http://immortallife.info/articles/entry/world-naked-bike-ride/ Stop Humanity's &quot;Indecent Exposure&quot;

<p>John Cossham: /* Publicity: Flyers and Posters */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. It is equally a celebration of the bike and the human body.<br /> <br /> The York WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week 2013] (15-23 June).<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 2em;&quot;&gt;[[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Bike Week, 15-23 June 2013|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/event_search.php?pagemode=display&amp;googleMap=y&amp;event_id=1946]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 3em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/events/177537522394880/ Join the Ride!]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;[https://www.facebook.com/groups/york.wnbr/ Join our Group]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UK donations link}}<br /> <br /> {{Ride location next ride|Date=FRIDAY 21 JUNE 2013 (Summer Solstice).|Time=Departing 6 pm|Location=Assembly/departure point: 50 metres south of Millennium Bridge on the Fulford (east) side of the river, from about 4.30 pm onwards.}}<br /> <br /> ==Route and schedule==<br /> <br /> The 2013 Ride will take us through the University for the first time, although the city centre part of the route will be familiar. The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> '''This is the proposed route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> University Road<br /> <br /> Left into Heslington Road,<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> [[Image:2013_Route_with_Google_mapping_Tool_-_Central_area.jpg|500px|thumb|right|.

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end.

The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> '''This is the proposed route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> University Road<br /> <br /> Left into Heslington Road,<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> [[Image:2013_Route_with_Google_mapping_Tool_-_Central_area.jpg|500px|thumb|right|.

The price will depend on what needs doing, but they're not expensive.<br /> <br /> ==Meetings and events==<br /> '''Ride planning''' takes place online at the &lt;!--[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-uk/ WNBR UK] Yahoo! group, on the --&gt;[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-York/ WNBR York] Yahoo! group, and at York planning meetings.<br /> <br /> Planning meetings for 2013 will be advertised here and on Facebook. Please check this space regularly. In 2011 and 2012 we frequently used the Seahorse Hotel, Fawcett Street (near York Barbican Centre) and may well do so again.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''FILM &amp; DISCUSSION EVENINGS.&lt;br /&gt; <br /> <br /> Films available:<br /> <br /> '''The World Naked Bike Ride''' - “All over the ride people are stripping off and getting on their bikes” (The story of the ground-breaking 2005 London ride, narrated by Jon Snow)<br /> <br /> '''Indecent Exposure to Cars''' - “I see painted naked people on bicycles” (Directed by Conrad Schmidt, Ragtag productions 2007). A light-hearted slightly corny take on the origins of the WNBR movement.<br /> <br /> '''York World Naked Bike 2008''' - see '''Souvenir DVD''' below.<br /> <br /> No film evenings are currently planned, but if you'd like to host a screening of any of the above films, please get in touch with Tony at: york [at] worldnakedbikeride [dot] org.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''York Critical Mass&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Used to meet on the first Friday of every month, 5.30 pm at the west end of the Minster, but there haven't been any rides recently.<br /> <br /> ==Previous Rides==<br /> ===2012===<br /> Despite chilly weather, 79 riders were counted on the Clifford's Tower section of the ride, and it was by all accounts a very successful event. The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2013===<br /> * [http://immortallife.info/ The Immortal Life], 15 May 2013: [http://immortallife.info/articles/entry/world-naked-bike-ride/ Stop Humanity's &quot;Indecent Exposure&quot;

The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower.

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2013===<br /> * [http://immortallife.info/ The Immortal Life], 15 May 2013: [http://immortallife.info/articles/entry/world-naked-bike-ride/ Stop Humanity's &quot;Indecent Exposure&quot;

<p>John Cossham: /* Related links */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. It is equally a celebration of the bike and the human body.<br /> <br /> The York WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week 2013] (15-23 June).<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 2em;&quot;&gt;[[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Team Green Britain Bike Week, 18-26 June 2011|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/event_search.php?pagemode=display&amp;event_id=191]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--&lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 3em;&quot;&gt;[http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=179415545442678 Join the Ride!]&lt;/div&gt;--&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;[http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15405613734 Join our Group]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UK donations link}}<br /> <br /> {{Ride location next ride|Date=FRIDAY 21 JUNE 2013 (Summer Solstice).|Time=Departing 6 pm|Location=Assembly/departure point: 50 metres south of Millennium Bridge on the Fulford (east) side of the river, from about 4.30 pm onwards.}}<br /> <br /> ==Route and schedule==<br /> <br /> The 2013 Ride will take us through the University for the first time, although the city centre part of the route will be familiar. The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> '''This is the proposed route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> Through the University, (Permission to ride through the University plus the exact route there has not yet been confirmed.)<br /> <br /> Old Heslington Road, past The Retreat, Heslington Road,<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> [[Image:2013_Route_with_Google_mapping_Tool_-_Central_area.jpg|500px|thumb|right|.

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2013===<br /> * [http://immortallife.info/ The Immortal Life], 15 May 2013: [http://immortallife.info/articles/entry/world-naked-bike-ride/ Stop Humanity's &quot;Indecent Exposure&quot;

The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> '''This is the proposed route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> Through the University, (Permission to ride through the University plus the exact route there has not yet been confirmed.)<br /> <br /> Old Heslington Road, past The Retreat, Heslington Road,<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> [[Image:2013_Route_with_Google_mapping_Tool_-_Central_area.jpg|500px|thumb|right|.

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2013===<br /> * [http://immortallife.info/ The Immortal Life], 15 May 2013: [http://immortallife.info/articles/entry/world-naked-bike-ride/ Stop Humanity's &quot;Indecent Exposure&quot;

<p>John Cossham: /* Route and schedule */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture.

The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> '''This is the proposed route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> Through the University, (Permission to ride through the University plus the exact route there has not yet been confirmed.)<br /> <br /> Old Heslington Road, past The Retreat, Heslington Road,<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Turn left and double back, and left under Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate,<br /> <br /> Cross Micklegate at the lights to North St,<br /> <br /> Go past Bike Rescue Hub Station and under Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Cycle along Wellington Row, the riverside next to Memorial Gardens,<br /> <br /> Turn left between Memorial Gardens and Westgate Apartments,<br /> <br /> Turn left into Leeman Road with Memorial Gardens on left,<br /> <br /> Turn left onto Station Avenue, under the Wall,<br /> <br /> Left through the pedestrian lights to Station Road,<br /> <br /> Over Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Museum St,<br /> <br /> Cross to Duncombe Place through traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Turn right into Petergate, Low Petergate,<br /> <br /> Right into Church St,<br /> <br /> Left into Parliament St,<br /> <br /> Through the lights into Coppergate,<br /> <br /> Left into Clifford St, Tower St,<br /> <br /> Left into the Eye of York,<br /> <br /> Leave the Eye of York and cross Tower St to Tower Gardens,<br /> <br /> Skirt the edge of Tower Gardens and turn left at the riverside,<br /> <br /> Take the cycle path between St George's Field and the river,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss as it enters the Ouse at the Blue Bridge,<br /> <br /> New Walk,<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge, Finish.<br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> The updated 2012 version is still available as a download.<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride.

With a little ingenuity flyers can also be attached to bikes. When organising leaflet distribution we are often on the look-out for a place where we can leave flyers for people to collect (with a person or business in York perhaps).

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2012===<br /> * [http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/ The Press] (York), 6 Jun 2012: &quot;[http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9067053.Cyclists_bare_all_for_World_Naked_Bike_Ride/ Cyclists bare all for World Naked Bike Ride]&quot;<br /> * [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england/york_and_north_yorkshire/ BBC York &amp;

<p>John Cossham: /* Route and schedule */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. It is equally a celebration of the bike and the human body.<br /> <br /> The York WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week 2013] (15-23 June).<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 2em;&quot;&gt;[[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Team Green Britain Bike Week, 18-26 June 2011|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/event_search.php?pagemode=display&amp;event_id=191]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--&lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 3em;&quot;&gt;[http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=179415545442678 Join the Ride!]&lt;/div&gt;--&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;facebook-linkbox&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;[http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15405613734 Join our Group]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UK donations link}}<br /> <br /> {{Ride location next ride|Date=FRIDAY 21 JUNE 2013 (Summer Solstice).|Time=Departing 5 pm|Location=Assembly/departure point: Just south of Millennium Bridge on the Fulford (east) side of the river.}}<br /> <br /> ==Route and schedule==<br /> <br /> The 2013 Ride will take us through the University for the first time, although the city centre part of the route will be familiar. The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> '''This is the proposed route:'''<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> Through the University, taking in new cycle paths and Central Hall, (Permission to ride through the University plus the exact route there has not yet been confirmed.)<br /> <br /> Old Heslington Road, past The Retreat, Heslington Road,<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Turn left and double back, and left under Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate,<br /> <br /> Cross Micklegate at the lights to North St,<br /> <br /> Go past Bike Rescue Hub Station and under Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Cycle along Wellington Row, the riverside next to Memorial Gardens,<br /> <br /> Turn left between Memorial Gardens and Westgate Apartments,<br /> <br /> Turn left into Leeman Road with Memorial Gardens on left,<br /> <br /> Turn left onto Station Avenue, under the Wall,<br /> <br /> Left through the pedestrian lights to Station Road,<br /> <br /> Over Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Museum St,<br /> <br /> Cross to Duncombe Place through traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Turn right into Petergate, Low Petergate,<br /> <br /> Right into Church St,<br /> <br /> Left into Parliament St,<br /> <br /> Through the lights into Coppergate,<br /> <br /> Left into Clifford St, Tower St,<br /> <br /> Left into the Eye of York,<br /> <br /> Leave the Eye of York and cross Tower St to Tower Gardens,<br /> <br /> Skirt the edge of Tower Gardens and turn left at the riverside,<br /> <br /> Take the cycle path between St George's Field and the river,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss as it enters the Ouse at the Blue Bridge,<br /> <br /> New Walk,<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge, Finish.<br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> The updated 2012 version is still available as a download.<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride. It is updated every year. Lot of useful tips, suggestions and links to further information. Written by cyclists for cyclists and revised every year.

With a little ingenuity flyers can also be attached to bikes. When organising leaflet distribution we are often on the look-out for a place where we can leave flyers for people to collect (with a person or business in York perhaps).

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge.

We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2012===<br /> * [http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/ The Press] (York), 6 Jun 2012: &quot;[http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9067053.Cyclists_bare_all_for_World_Naked_Bike_Ride/ Cyclists bare all for World Naked Bike Ride]&quot;<br /> * [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england/york_and_north_yorkshire/ BBC York &amp;

<p>John Cossham: /* Route and schedule */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Ride location breadcrumb|Country=UK}}<br /> <br /> The York World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and car culture.

The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> This is the proposed route:<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path,<br /> <br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Broadway, towards Heslington,<br /> <br /> Through the University, taking in new cycle paths and Central Hall,<br /> <br /> Old Heslington Road, past The Retreat, Heslington Road,<br /> <br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St,<br /> <br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Turn left and double back, and left under Skeldergate Bridge,<br /> <br /> Skeldergate,<br /> <br /> Cross Micklegate at the lights to North St,<br /> <br /> Go past Bike Rescue Hub Station and under Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Cycle along Wellington Row, the riverside next to Memorial Gardens,<br /> <br /> Turn left between Memorial Gardens and Westgate Apartments,<br /> <br /> Turn left into Leeman Road with Memorial Gardens on left,<br /> <br /> Turn left onto Station Avenue, under the Wall,<br /> <br /> Left through the pedestrian lights to Station Road,<br /> <br /> Over Lendal Bridge,<br /> <br /> Museum St,<br /> <br /> Cross to Duncombe Place through traffic lights,<br /> <br /> Turn right into Petergate, Low Petergate,<br /> <br /> Right into Church St,<br /> <br /> Left into Parliament St,<br /> <br /> Through the lights into Coppergate,<br /> <br /> Left into Clifford St, Tower St,<br /> <br /> Left into the Eye of York,<br /> <br /> Leave the Eye of York and cross Tower St to Tower Gardens,<br /> <br /> Skirt the edge of Tower Gardens and turn left at the riverside,<br /> <br /> Take the cycle path between St George's Field and the river,<br /> <br /> Cross the River Foss as it enters the Ouse at the Blue Bridge,<br /> <br /> New Walk,<br /> <br /> Millennium Bridge, Finish.<br /> <br /> Permission to ride through the University plus the exact route there has not yet been confirmed.<br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> The updated 2012 version is still available as a download.<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride. It is updated every year. Lot of useful tips, suggestions and links to further information. Written by cyclists for cyclists and revised every year.

You can print the flyer in colour on white paper or black and white on coloured paper. It's designed as an A6 flyer but you can also print it as an A4 or A5 poster. Likewise the poster can be printed in different sizes. Please try and place publicity materials in a prominent position in your local community centre, college, bike shop etc and circulate amongst your cycling friends and fellow activists.<br /> <br /> Riders are encouraged to distribute flyers among their friends, fellow cyclists, at their college, community group, workplace etc. Laminated versions can even be displayed at key locations outside, e.g. attached to lamposts along cycle paths. With a little ingenuity flyers can also be attached to bikes. When organising leaflet distribution we are often on the look-out for a place where we can leave flyers for people to collect (with a person or business in York perhaps).

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride? Petergate, York 2009. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> <br /> The York Press was present as was a crew from Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme. Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge. Photo © Johnathan Carey]]<br /> <br /> Proceeding over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster there were some fine shots to be had of naked cyclists against the sunlit backdrop of the cathedral’s west front. We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2012===<br /> * [http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/ The Press] (York), 6 Jun 2012: &quot;[http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9067053.Cyclists_bare_all_for_World_Naked_Bike_Ride/ Cyclists bare all for World Naked Bike Ride]&quot;<br /> * [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england/york_and_north_yorkshire/ BBC York &amp;

The total route distance is 6.2 miles (10km) of easy cycling. As always, everyone is encouraged to go &quot;as bare as they dare&quot; and please don't forget to affix/paint signs on your bike and/or body to indicate the reason why you are riding.<br /> <br /> '''Advantages of the York route:''' The York route is mostly flat. It runs on both streets and traffic-free paths. There are cycle-hire facilities a short cycle distance from the start. The route passes various landmarks of York including the Minster, historic Bars (city gates), and the iconic Clifford's Tower. It goes down medieval cobbled streets, traverses bridges both ancient and new, and glides along the banks of the scenic River Ouse, usually to the accompaniment of some great music. Because of the surfaces we discourage runners and skaters as it is difficult for them to keep up, so bikes, trikes, tandems, hand-cycles and experienced unicyclists only please!<br /> <br /> This is the proposed route:<br /> Millennium Bridge to Broadway West via cycle path<br /> Cross Fulford Road at traffic lights<br /> Broadway, towards Heslington<br /> Through the University, taking in new cycle paths and Central Hall<br /> Old Heslington Road, past The Retreat, Heslington Road<br /> Cross Cemetery Road at the lights and onto Kent St<br /> Fawcett St /Fishergate Gyratory<br /> Cross the River Foss at St George's Fields<br /> Skeldergate Bridge<br /> Turn left and double back, and left under Skeldergate Bridge<br /> Skeldergate<br /> Cross Micklegate at the lights to North St<br /> Go past Bike Rescue Hub Station and under Lendal Bridge<br /> Cycle along Wellington Row, the riverside next to Memorial Gardens<br /> Turn left between Memorial Gardens and Westgate Apartments<br /> Turn left into Leeman Road with Memorial Gardens on left<br /> Turn left onto Station Avenue, under the Wall<br /> Left through the pedestrian lights to Station Road<br /> Over Lendal Bridge<br /> Museum St<br /> Cross to Duncombe Place through traffic lights<br /> Turn right into Petergate, Low Petergate<br /> Right into Church St<br /> Left into Parliament St<br /> Through the lights into Coppergate<br /> Left into Clifford St, Tower St<br /> Left into the Eye of York<br /> Leave the Eye of York and cross Tower St to Tower Gardens<br /> Skirt the edge of Tower Gardens and turn left at the riverside<br /> Take the cycle path between St George's Field and the river<br /> Cross the River Foss as it enters the Ouse at the Blue Bridge<br /> New Walk<br /> Millennium Bridge, Finish<br /> <br /> Permission to ride through the University plus the exact route there has not yet been confirmed.<br /> <br /> == Advice for Riders ==<br /> <br /> The updated 2012 version is still available as a download.<br /> <br /> This is common-sense practical advice about preparing for and being safe on the ride.

With a little ingenuity flyers can also be attached to bikes. When organising leaflet distribution we are often on the look-out for a place where we can leave flyers for people to collect (with a person or business in York perhaps).

The big difference this year, making it a lot safer and quicker, was that the Police told us to wait at lights if they were at red, and then come through when they turned green, and to all stay as one group, continuing through the junction as one 'long vehicle', despite the rear of that juggernaut coming through after the lights had gone red again. This caused far less disruption than on previous years when our instructions were to obey the lights, and then part of the group having to wait for the others to catch up. Thus, we got around the 6.5 mile circuit in one hour 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> We crossed the bridge onto the West side of the Ouse and headed South to the snicket up towards Terrys. One novice rider fell off here, into nettles (poor chap!) and he left the ride at this point. The rest of us gathered at Ruby's Crossroads, and remembered those cyclists who have been killed whilst out riding, including Ruby Milnes, Neil Ashley from Bristol, killed in Wokingham in about 2006, Police Sgt Kev Green killed whilst cycling on the York ring road in about 2002, and prominent cycle campaigner Mark Brummel from Southampton killed in the New Forest on 28 May.<br /> <br /> After a minute's silence and contemplation, we continued back into town, mouning The Mount, breezing along Blossom St, sliding down past the station, and crawling over Lendal Bridge towards the Minster. Due to the large numbers of crowds on Petergate (were they all waiting for us, I wonder?) the police decided to take us along Deangate and Goodramgate, to rejoin our planned route down Colliergate, Fossgate and Walmgate. However, somehow, the front person missed the right turn onto George St, and continued towards Walmgate Bar. I hoped we'd go right at Hope St, but no, we went through the Bar and right towards the Barbican Centre, where we rejoined our intended route, onto the Fishergate gyratory and back into town, via Clifford's Tower/Eye of York. From here it was up Clifford Street, over Ouse Bridge, bumping over the uphill cobbles of Micklegate and then down Priory Street, following the walls round to Baile Hill, where we wriggled round to Terry Avenue and back to the bridge.<br /> <br /> Before the ride, we sold raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local bike shops. We are grateful to Fulford Cycles, Cycle Heaven, Cycle Street and Get Cycling for the prizes, which raised (along with sales of flags and bamboos) close to £100 to help pay for inevitable WNBR costs. We are also happy that Cycle Heaven at the station, Get Cycling and Giant on Lord Mayors Walk all offered afternoon bike hire for just a fiver. I know that Get Cycling was surprised by the numbers of enquiries!<br /> (John Cossham)<br /> <br /> ===2011===<br /> [[Image:SDC11186A.JPG|300px|thumb|right|The attempts of a lone motorist to block the naked traffic on Micklegate prove futile, York WNBR 2011. Photo © Toniminou]]<br /> The 4 June ride went the opposite way around our usual circuit and started and ended in the middle (it that makes sense!) at the gleaming Millennium Bridge. The weather was a little warmer than last year, but a few more degrees would have helped keep the chill off when we were stationary at some of those really slow-phased traffic lights. Although there was a lower turn-out than last year, the good humour, colourful body-paint and decorated bikes of many of our riders more than made up for it.<br /> <br /> We cycled a pleasant route over Millennium Bridge and along Terry Avenue into town. It took several goes to get through the junction of Skeldergate and Bridge Street before we took on the late Saturday-afternoon crowds in Coney Street. We triumphantly passed by the Minster and veered southwards down Petergate and onto Pavement and Coppergate. Once again we called in at Cliffords Tower and did the obligatory circular round the eye of York, before retracing our tyre tracks back towards Ousebridge. We bumped merrily up the steep cobbles of Micklegate.<br /> <br /> Another long wait at the Bar (city gate), then we regrouped on Blossom Street and descended to the Knavesmire. We had a brief stop at Ruby’s Crossroads to remember both Ruby and all other cyclists killed on UK roads in recent years, before finally rejoining the riverside path and returning to the Bridge whence we came.<br /> <br /> ===2010===<br /> The late afternoon of June 19th was the occasion for the chilliest of our naked bike rides. Nevertheless about 100 riders bared their shivering bodies in a great show of support for an oil-free green future. We processed through the ancient city streets of Petergate, Parliament Street and Coppergate. We rode round the circle below Cliffords Tower and crossed to St George's Field to join the riverside path. Once over the still-shiny Millennium Bridge we called in at the Racecourse where two minutes silence were observed in memory of a young cyclist who was killed there in 2008. The return leg took us via the Mount and a busy Blossom Street and thence under Micklegate Bar and back into the City once more. Our own experienced stewards did their very best to manage ride safety, with scarcely any help from the police. By the time we got to Museum Gardens we were quite glad to get our clothes on once more!<br /> <br /> ===2009===<br /> &quot;Bike Pride&quot; was truly in evidence in York on June 12th. We had 100 riders counted on Parliament Street, and the feeling on the ride was great! The new extension offered an interesting peek at Clifton for the out of town folk, and a relaxing start to the ride. The folks in York were typically surprised, bemused, delighted, shocked, nonchalant, and impressed. And once again we took some of the key attractions of the historic city, Lendal Bridge, the Minster, Clifford's Tower, plus the more recent Millennium Cycle Bridge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bike_Pride_WNBR_York_09.jpg|300px|thumb|right|World Naked Bike Pride?

Apparently, before we finished the ride, the people of Yorkshire knew all about it via their evening televisions.<br /> <br /> After an excellent pro-cycling send-off speech - and blast on the air horn - from Green city councillor Dave Taylor, we all set off via Marygate, emerging onto Bootham where we became the main outbound traffic. We had lots of elaborately decorated bikes and beautifully painted and decorated bodies riding them! The police were happy to assist us at junctions and were in a good mood about the whole thing.<br /> <br /> A number of riders had the words &quot;Less Gas More Ass&quot; on their backs in memory of Jonathan Brooke who sadly passed away in 2008 and to whom this ride was dedicated. He had participated in all three previous York rides. He loved the ride, and his relaxed, friendly, and enthusiastic nature was a delight to fellow riders.<br /> <br /> We were fortunate to have the company on this ride of the UK's oldest rider: Margaret or 'Gran' who rode the entire route in good spirits at the spritely age of 87. While she found the London ride in 2005 too cold to ride in the nude, she managed the rides in London 2006 and York 2009 with the clothes she was born with.<br /> <br /> What a great ride! I look forward to 2010! <br /> <br /> (Report by Jesse and Tony)<br /> <br /> ===2008===<br /> There were 90 riders (89 people and one dog in a trailer), and the atmosphere was excellent. We were warmly received throughout York, and initial responses suggest that the new route variation was popular. <br /> <br /> At the assembly point there was some hectic last minute body-painting and interviews with the media then we all relocated to the Esplanade for the official ride opening. Local campaigner Randall Ghent from the World Carfree Network opened the proceedings with a rousing send-off speech and three toots on an air-horn. The ribbon was cut and off we rode to the tune of “Bare Necessities”.<br /> <br /> [[Image:York2008 milleniumbridge JC.jpg|300px|thumb|right|WNBR York 2008: Riders crossing the Millennium Bridge.

We rode down historic Petergate, Colliergate, across to Fossgate and up over the little cobbled bridge than spans the river Foss. Along George Street we gave a passing nod to the last resting place of highwayman Dick Turpin, then it was through Fishergate Bar and down to join the banks of the Ouse. Many had turned out to watch and applaud us as we went over Millennium Bridge and headed northwards once more to rejoin the city walls at Skeldergate. We meandered through some quiet streets and found ourselves on historic Micklegate – and more cobbles! Ousebridge was full of traffic as usual though at least half of it this time consisted of our naked selves. On Coney Street there were throngs of people cheering us on the home run. Finally a bevy of photographers - with very little help from the police – kindly blocked the traffic for us as we crossed to finish our ride in Museum Gardens.<br /> <br /> There was lots of noise and happy faces on that day, bikes of all descriptions and some really artistic body-painting. Nearly everyone had a message either on their body or attached to their bike. One way or another we certainly demonstrated that biking it is better.<br /> <br /> ==Planning collective==<br /> The York Planning Collective is a small group of local cyclists working together in a co-operative way to a single end. Some of us are based in York itself, some live in the surrounding towns and villages. We always need more volunteers to get involved - that could be YOU!<br /> <br /> '''Here's what the Collective does:'''<br /> * answers people's questions with care and consideration<br /> * keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are<br /> * deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level<br /> * provides email updates to let people know what's going on<br /> * points out where and when help is needed<br /> * acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and mobile phone)<br /> * maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)<br /> <br /> '''Additional responsibilities for the coordinator of one of the Collective members:'''<br /> * arranges meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes<br /> * ensures that the Collective remains non-hierarchical but organised<br /> * moderates an email list for York ride planning<br /> <br /> ==Media coverage==<br /> ===2012===<br /> * [http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/ The Press] (York), 6 Jun 2012: &quot;[http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9067053.Cyclists_bare_all_for_World_Naked_Bike_Ride/ Cyclists bare all for World Naked Bike Ride]&quot;<br /> * [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england/york_and_north_yorkshire/ BBC York &amp;
