'''Join us for a naked lunch, a seaside bike ride in the buff, a paddle in the sea and a naturist beach picnic!'''

'''Every year since 2006, Brighton has joined World Naked Bike Rides around the world to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against car culture.'''

'''Brighton's eighth [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] will probably take place on [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/46171/ Sunday 9 June 2013]. Rain and wind meant lower turnouts in 2012 and 2011, but we were still 300 strong. An astonishing 800-1,000 riders took part in 2010 (up from 700, 400, 180 and 160 in previous years). Many more are expected in 2013. As of the 2007 ride, following negotiations with Sussex Police, full nudity is permitted at the event.'''

'''The event will form the finale to a weekend of [[List of rides#UK|UK and worldwide rides]], including nearby [[Portsmouth]], [[Southampton]] and [[London]], which will allow people to take part in four southern rides.'''

The ride forms part of national [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week] (15–23 June 2013).

'''Join us for a naked lunch, a seaside bike ride in the buff, a paddle in the sea and a naturist beach picnic!'''

'''Every year since 2006, Brighton has joined World Naked Bike Rides around the world to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against car culture.'''

'''Brighton's seventh [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ World Naked Bike Ride] will take place on [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/46171/ Sunday 10 June 2012]. Rain and wind meant a lower turnout in 2011, but we still managed 300 riders. An astonishing 800-1,000 riders took part in 2010 (up from 700, 400, 180 and 160 in previous years). Many more are expected in 2012. As of the 2007 ride, following negotiations with Sussex Police, full nudity is permitted at the event.'''

'''The event will form the finale to a weekend of [[List of rides#UK|UK and worldwide rides]], including nearby [[Portsmouth]], [[Southampton]] and [[London]], which will allow people to take part in four southern rides.'''

The ride forms part of [http://www.journeyon.co.uk/ local] and national [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week]. It also celebrates [http://www.dft.gov.uk/cyclingengland/cycling-cities-towns/brighton-hove/ Brighton's status] as a [http://www.dft.gov.uk/cyclingengland/cycling-cities-towns/ Cycle Demonstration Town].
