==Future rides==

There is some talk of holding a southern hemisphere solidarity ride in March of 2009. This would probably be a one-mile ride which started and finished at/near a heated indoor setting where riders could stay warm.

The following seven rides are definitely taking place in June 2009:
*'''[[Brighton & Hove]]''' 14 June 2009
*'''[[Cardiff]]''' 13 June 2009
*'''[[London]]''' 13 June 2009
*'''[[Manchester]]''' 12 June 2009
*'''[[Sheffield]]''' 13 June 2009
*'''[[Southampton]]''' 12 June 2009
*'''[[York]]''' 12 June 2009

There is also the possibility of rides in [[Cambridge]], [[Belfast]], [[Edinburgh]], [[Glasgow]], [[Oxford]] and [[Totnes]]. These rides can be brought into being if organisers step forward and offer to work to make them happen. All rides are organised by local riders.

==Legality==

===UK laws relating to public nudity===

The following links will be of interest to people organising rides in the UK:

===Police restrictions===

From 2004 to 2008, there have been 23 UK Naked Bike Rides with a cumulative total of nearly 5,000 riders in 11 locations, and no arrests.

It is unlikely that police will object to nudity at future rides in England and Wales. Local police officially acknowledged the legality of full nudity at all seven rides in 2008 and all five rides in 2007. 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.

In contrast, Scottish police have never allowed full nudity at the two [[Edinburgh]] rides in 2004 and 2008.

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.

==Media coverage==

This section needs updating. There have been much TV, Radio, print and online coverage of the WNBR in the UK, but most of this info is stored with the local ride's webpages.
