==About the 2006 Ride==
We will assemble at [http://thebasement.clearerchannel.org The Basement], 24 Lever Street (off Piccadilly Gardens). We'll be indoors from 6pm to 7pm. We'll be showing films (including last year's ride), and provide a safe, camera-free space to do bodypainting/costuming. At 7pm we'll hit the streets of Manchester on our beautiful bikes. The ride will take about an hour most likely.

Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will be using the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/london/policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise.
