{{Ride location next ride|Time=3pm|Date='''Sunday 29th June''' (Note '''change of date''' from original date of Sat 14 June)|Location=Middle Meadow Walk}}

===Duration===
The ride will take about an hour most likely.

The police will arrest anyone totally starkers for breach of the peace. What's the point? i hear you say, well we can still have fun, get painted up, put a sock on your cock, tassles on your nipples and show that there is nothing wrong with nudity, but by forcing us to cover up, we are only highlighting our fun *private parts*. Be as inventive as you can be, cover up in the smallest possible way, or totally exxxxagerate what you already have.
It is a completely ridiculous stance by the police (not law, just the stace of the LBP), and the only one of it's kind in the UK. Another step forward in the right to express ourselves eh chaps?

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.

===Directions===
Middle Meadow Walk is a long tree lined avenue through the Meadows Park. At the north end of the Walk is Teviot Place and at the south end is Argyle Place.
