==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the sixth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last few rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
There will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK. We used to follow the London photographer policy, but it's now London centric, so here's the local Edinburgh centric advice!
Any publicity is good publicity (sort of.) so we don't mind people taking photos. BUT individuals may prefer not to be photographed, especially up close, or when changing, or being painted.
Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised.
If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that. If the weather permits, there will be a "modesty screen." in the form of a windbreak.

* The Meadows has is under Edinburgh council's Parks department, and their fiat holds. Go and look at their policy if you are taking photos for commercial purposes.
* Play nice. If someone indicates they don't want to be photographed, don't. If you already have identifiable photos of them, please delete them.
* Get at least implied consent to take a photo of an individual if you can.
* The area within the windbreak is a no photography zone. Under Scottish law, it could be argued that it is an area where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you take their photo without explicit permission this could lead to prosecution. So don't.
* Harassing people, upskirting, or upkilting, is illegal. So don't. We will have a total sense of humour failure. So will Police Scotland. It's likely, at the very least to be a breach of the peace*. (Which a naked protest isn't.)

*A note for the English and Welsh. A breach of the peace in Scotland is different to England and Wales. It's more than a ticking off. Look it up. The law here is different, since Scotland has a constitutional right to a separate legal system.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2024===
21 riders, mostly fully naked, some in swimwear. Fine weather Cheering from bystanders, still a few swears from white van people!

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

*'''[[:Category:Northern hemisphere ride locations|Northern Hemisphere]]: June 2026''' (or for few locations July or later)

*NOTE: ONLY 4 — of 39 — Current 2025 “Southern” listing Rides are “active” ( most other “Southern” Rides have been defunct for 5-10 years or more ) — & two of those four listed — inexplicably — under “Southern” are squarely in the “NORTHERN Hemisphere” ( Brighton&Hove🇬🇧 and San Francisco🇺🇸 ) which should henceforth be consolidated into just one simplified list to avoid confusion & save a lot of time for those interested — and all others archived as soon as possible to eliminate clutter.

Some rides are scheduled on different days, clustered around these main dates. Most rides will go ahead rain or shine, but some cities have a backup date in case of bad weather.<br>

I've supported the Edinburgh ride for years, and run it for a few. This year I am aiming at backing off and letting someone else take over!

==Registering your interest==
Whether you want to get actively involved in helping a ride be a success, or just wish to get the occasional email reminder about upcoming rides, please register your interest via the Sign Up box on the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org Worldwide site]. We will usually acknowledge each registration, especially if you have a specific question or can offer to help. It is, however, not a requirement that riders register in this way.

Most rides also have a public Yahoo group to which you can subscribe and then discuss issues with others involved in that town or city. Sign up to Yahoo then, in Groups, search for WNBR and your town or city, and apply to become a member of the group if it exists. If it doesn't, then why not start one!

There are also Facebook Groups with a similar purpose as well as Facebook Events that focus on specific upcoming rides. Organisers may also use Twitter to communicate with followers.

The [[United Kingdom FAQ]] page answers questions especially relevant to UK riders and organisers.

==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 2012, there have been 59 UK Naked Bike Rides with a cumulative total of 13,000+ riders in 13 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 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.

Scottish Police, now allow full nudity, and have gone from a Police escort, to seeing us off, and seeing us back, to not even bothering with the previous pre-ride phone call. If organising a ride outside Edinburgh, we'd suggest that you inform them in advance, or they may assume it's illegal.

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.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=5 July 2025|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the sixth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last few rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
There will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK. We used to follow the London photographer policy, but it's now London centric, so here's the local Edinburgh centric advice!
Any publicity is good publicity (sort of.) so we don't mind people taking photos. BUT individuals may prefer not to be photographed, especially up close, or when changing, or being painted.
Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised.
If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that. If the weather permits, there will be a "modesty screen." in the form of a windbreak.

* The Meadows has is under Edinburgh council's Parks department, and their fiat holds. Go and look at their policy if you are taking photos for commercial purposes.
* Play nice. If someone indicates they don't want to be photographed, don't. If you already have identifiable photos of them, please delete them.
* Get at least implied consent to take a photo of an individual if you can.
* The area within the windbreak is a no photography zone. Under Scottish law, it could be argued that it is an area where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you take their photo without explicit permission this could lead to prosecution. So don't.
* Harassing people, upskirting, or upkilting, is illegal. So don't. We will have a total sense of humour failure. So will Police Scotland. It's likely, at the very least to be a breach of the peace*. (Which a naked protest isn't.)

*A note for the English and Welsh. A breach of the peace in Scotland is different to England and Wales. It's more than a ticking off. Look it up. The law here is different, since Scotland has a constitutional right to a separate legal system.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2024===
21 riders, mostly fully naked, some in swimwear. Fine weather Cheering from bystanders, still a few swears from white van people!

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=5 July 2025|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the sixth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last few rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
There will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK. We used to follow the London photographer policy, but it's now London centric, so here's the local Edinburgh centric advice!
Any publicity is good publicity (sort of.) so we don't mind people taking photos. BUT individuals may prefer not to be photographed, especially up close, or when changing, or being painted.
Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised.
If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that. If the weather permits, there will be a "modesty screen." in the form of a windbreak.

* The Meadows has is under Edinburgh council's Parks department, and their fiat holds. Go and look at their policy if you are taking photos for commercial purposes.
* Play nice. If someone indicates they don't want to be photographed, don't. If you already have identifiable photos of them, please delete them.
* Get at least implied consent to take a photo of an individual if you can.
* The area within the windbreak is a no photography zone. Under Scottish law, it could be argued that it is an area where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you take their photo without explicit permission this could lead to prosecution. So don't.
* Harassing people, upskirting, or upkilting, is illegal. So don't. We will have a total sense of humour failure. So will Police Scotland. It's likely, at the very least to be a breach of the peace*. (Which a naked protest isn't.)

*A note for the English and Welsh. A breach of the peace in Scotland is different to England and Wales. It's more than a ticking off. Look it up. The law here is different, since Scotland has a constitutional right to a separate legal system.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2024===
21 riders, mostly fully naked, some in swimwear. Fine weather Cheering from bystanders, still a few swears from white van people!

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=5 July 2025|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the sixth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last few rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
There will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK. We used to follow the London photographer policy, but it's now London centric, so here's the local Edinburgh centric advice!
Any publicity is good publicity (sort of.) so we don't mind people taking photos. BUT individuals may prefer not to be photographed, especially up close, or when changing, or being painted.
Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised.
If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that. If the weather permits, there will be a "modesty screen." in the form of a windbreak.

* The Meadows has is under Edinburgh council's Parks department, and their fiat holds. Go and look at their policy if you are taking photos for commercial purposes.
* Play nice. If someone indicates they don't want to be photographed, don't. If you already have identifiable photos of them, please delete them.
* Get at least implied consent to take a photo of an individual if you can.
* The area within the windbreak is a no photography zone. Under Scottish law, it could be argued that it is an area where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you take their photo without explicit permission this could lead to prosecution. So don't.
* Harassing people, upskirting, or upkilting, is illegal. So don't. We will have a total sense of humour failure. So will Police Scotland. It's likely, at the very least to be a breach of the peace*. (Which a naked protest isn't.)

*A note for the English and Welsh. A breach of the peace in Scotland is different to England and Wales. It's more than a ticking off. Look it up. The law here is different, since Scotland has a constitutional right to a separate legal system.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2024===
21 riders, mostly fully naked, some in swimwear. Fine weather Cheering from bystanders, still a few swears from white van people!

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]

Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the sixth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last few rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this.

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
There will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK. We used to follow the London photographer policy, but it's now London centric, so here's the local Edinburgh centric advice!
Any publicity is good publicity (sort of.) so we don't mind people taking photos. BUT individuals may prefer not to be photographed, especially up close, or when changing, or being painted.
Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised.
If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that. If the weather permits, there will be a "modesty screen." in the form of a windbreak.

* The Meadows has is under Edinburgh council's Parks department, and their fiat holds. Go and look at their policy if you are taking photos for commercial purposes.
* Play nice. If someone indicates they don't want to be photographed, don't. If you already have identifiable photos of them, please delete them.
* Get at least implied consent to take a photo of an individual if you can.
* The area within the windbreak is a no photography zone. Under Scottish law, it could be argued that it is an area where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you take their photo without explicit permission this could lead to prosecution. So don't.
* Harassing people, upskirting, or upkilting, is illegal. So don't. We will have a total sense of humour failure. So will Police Scotland. It's likely, at the very least to be a breach of the peace*. (Which a naked protest isn't.)

*A note for the English and Welsh. A breach of the peace in Scotland is different to England and Wales. It's more than a ticking off. Look it up. The law here is different, since Scotland has a constitutional right to a separate legal system.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2024===
21 riders, mostly fully naked, some in swimwear. Fine weather Cheering from bystanders, still a few swears from white van people!

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the sixth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last few rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

{{Ride location next ride|Date=5 July 2025|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the sixth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last few rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
There will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK. We used to follow the London photographer policy, but it's now London centric, so here's the local Edinburgh centric advice!
Any publicity is good publicity (sort of.) so we don't mind people taking photos. BUT individuals may prefer not to be photographed, especially up close, or when changing, or being painted.
Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised.
If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that. If the weather permits, there will be a "modesty screen." in the form of a windbreak.

1. The Meadows has is under Edinburgh council's Parks department, and their fiat holds. Go and look at their policy if you are taking photos for commercial purposes.
2. Play nice. If someone indicates they don't want to be photographed, don't. If you already have identifiable photos of them, please delete them.
3. Get at least implied consent to take a photo of an individual if you can.
4. The area within the windbreak is a no photography zone. Under Scottish law, it could be argued that it is an area where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you take their photo without explicit permission this could lead to prosecution. So don't.
5. Harassing people, upskirting, or upkilting, is illegal. So don't. We will have a total sense of humour failure. so will Police Scotland. It's likely, at the very least to be a breach of the peace*. (Which a naked protest isn't.)

*A note for the English and Welsh. A breach of the peace in Scotland is different to England and Wales. Look it up.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2024===
21 riders, mostly fully naked, some in swimwear. Fine weather Cheering from bystanders, still a few swears from white van people!

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2024===
21 riders, mostly fully naked, some in swimwear. Fine weather Cheering from bystanders, still a few swears from white van people!

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=5 July 2025|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the sixth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last few rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
There will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=London_photography_policy] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that. If the weather permits, there will be a "modesty screen." in the form of a windbreak.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2024===
21 riders, mostly fully naked, some in swimwear. Fine weather Cheering from bystanders, still a few swears from white van people!

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
there will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=London_photography_policy] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.
Photos here [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/]

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fifth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light Weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

{{Ride location next ride|Date=6 July 2024|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fifth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, any pole is light Weight, '''not''' usable as a weapon and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
there will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

The [[United Kingdom FAQ]] page answers questions especially relevant to UK riders and organisers.

==Legality==

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

===Police restrictions===

From 2004 to 2012, there have been 59 UK Naked Bike Rides with a cumulative total of 13,000+ riders in 13 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=6 July 2024|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fourth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300'''
there will be people to help with this! Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=8 July 2023|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fourth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
The police have now reached the point where they don't even come and wave us off at the start, or contact us on the morning of the ride. Routine patrols pass us, and take no notice.

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=8 July 2023|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fourth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. Edinburgh police have backtracked a little, they now say that if they tell us to cover up, then we have to. So, carry a cover up, and hope we won't have to use them. The last 2 times, there hasn't been a problem.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.
The police seem to have moved towards "If someone complains that they are harassed, alarmed or distressed, then you have to stop." We are intending to contest this. But for now, carry a cover up.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via Facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some steep hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===Directions===

==History==

===2023===
Probably due to a dire weather forecast, which didn't actually materialise, only a dozen of us turned out, ranging from fully clothed, to fully naked! Mostly fully naked. It stayed fine, but overcast. The thunderstorm never happened. Slogans body painted on at the start, and we had Dr. Bike attending to check up & fix any bikes that needed it. (Comment from one rider. "Wow! it goes so much better now!") At least two riders headed down to Dr. Bike's base at the Bike Station Charity, to get bits, or a service after the ride. :) Mostly positive response from the bystanders, cheering, taking photos. A few sweary rants from taxis and white van men!
Photos are on flikr [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/pool/with/53032202538/]
===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=8 July 2023|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fourth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2022===
22 of us, 20 fully naked rode the same route as planned last year, including the roadworks diversion, but didn't have to avoid George IV Bridge, as no cafe's caught fire! We rode to a mostly enthusiastic reception from the public. Strong winds in the meadows made it cool at the start, and we had to abandon the idea of windbreaks as they kept blowing away!

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!

==History==

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=8 July 2023|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fourth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy wigs, dressing/painting themselves as ginger cats, and wearing other sorts of minimalist fancy dress. Go wild! Have a ball!

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start from 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=8 July 2023|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fourth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing. This is in case you don't want to go naked, but do want to change into/out of fancy dress.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start frpm 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=8 July 2023|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the fourth time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last two rides we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing. This is in case you don't want to go naked, but do want to change into/out of fancy dress.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start frpm 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=18 Jun 2022|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the third time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last ride we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing. This is in case you don't want to go naked, but do want to change into/out of fancy dress.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start frpm 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=18th. of July 2022|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the third time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last ride we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing. This is in case you don't want to go naked, but do want to change into/out of fancy dress.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start frpm 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have WNBR a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

===Get involved===
If you want to get more actively involved in the ride, join our [http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_207882242580106|facebook group] There's a call for volunteers to help organise it. Volunteer! '''We still need more stewards and first aiders.'''

==History==

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=18th. of July 2022|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the third time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last ride we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing. This is in case you don't want to go naked, but do want to change into/out of fancy dress.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start frpm 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have WNBR a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=18th. of July 2022|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the third time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last ride we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing. This is in case you don't want to go naked, but do want to change into/out of fancy dress.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start frpm 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have WNBR a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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.

==History==

===2021===
COVID meant we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=18th. of July 2022|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the third time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last ride we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing. This is in case you don't want to go naked, but do want to change into/out of fancy dress.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start frpm 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have WNBR a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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. Here is a [https://www.google.com/maps/place/55%C2%B056'31.6%22N+3%C2%B011'27.7%22W/@55.9413041,-3.1940609,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x4887c79cd5185fd5:0x5a51e44d1c7d3306!7e2!8m2!3d55.9421063!4d-3.191014 map] Here is an [http://www.flickr.com/photos/22767497@N05/2318760246/ excellent photograph] that shows what Middle Meadows Walk looks like.

==History==

===2021===
COVID meat we had to run it in September! Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the Elephant House, "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!

===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=18th. of July 2022|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the third time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last ride we did the entire route naked. We have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that from 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows. They usually come and chat afterwards.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing. This is in case you don't want to go naked, but do want to change into/out of fancy dress.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? '''We will provide paint etc. at the start frpm 1300''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have WNBR a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2021===
Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!
===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=4th of September 2021|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the second time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last year 3/4 of the way around, we were asked to cover up. Next time we have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

In previous years, obliged to be part covered, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. This year we can be naked if we want to :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that for 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

last year 2019, we rode about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way around the route naked before the police asked us to cover up. They were polite about it, and sounded genuinely disappointed that they had to ask us. In 2021, there should be no need to get dressed.

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing.This is in case you don't want to go naked.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? ''' Forest cafe has shut, so we can't paint there. painting may be possible in the meadows, but we don't know what COVID restrictions are going to be in place, so it may not be.''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, body-paint crayons and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops, and we now have our own version of the Boris Bikes. [https://edinburghcyclehire.com/how-it-works]If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have WNBR saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===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. Here is a [https://www.google.com/maps/place/55%C2%B056'31.6%22N+3%C2%B011'27.7%22W/@55.9413041,-3.1940609,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x4887c79cd5185fd5:0x5a51e44d1c7d3306!7e2!8m2!3d55.9421063!4d-3.191014 map] Here is an [http://www.flickr.com/photos/22767497@N05/2318760246/ excellent photograph] that shows what Middle Meadows Walk looks like.

===Publicise the ride===
Please share our Facebook event [https://www.facebook.com/events/739749079780493/] or retweet us [http://www.twitter.com/wnbredinburgh @wnbredinburgh]

===Get involved===
If you want to get more actively involved in the ride, join our [http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_207882242580106|facebook group] There's a call for volunteers to help organise it. Volunteer! '''We still need more stewards and first aiders.'''

==History==

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

===2011===
Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

If your "Bare as you dare" isn't quite up to complete nudity, minimalist fancy dress is OK! Riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. We can be naked if we want to. But it's up to you! :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops. If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have WNBR a few saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com ''' NOTE THAT THE JUST EAT HIRE BIKES HAVE GONE! DON'T TURN UP AND EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO HIRE ONE! :( '''

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

==History==

===2021===
Again, cool, but not wet this time! Riders from all over the UK took part, most fully naked. The route had to be changed due to roadworks. Then it had to be changed due to the "Harry Potter" cafe catching fire!
===2020===
Cancelled due to COVID 19.

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=4th of September 2021|Time=1400|Location=Middle Meadow Walk.}}

==Ride information==
Meet from 1300 for a 1400 start.

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the second time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last year 3/4 of the way around, we were asked to cover up. Next time we have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

In previous years, obliged to be part covered, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. This year we can be naked if we want to :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that for 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

last year 2019, we rode about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way around the route naked before the police asked us to cover up. They were polite about it, and sounded genuinely disappointed that they had to ask us. In 2021, there should be no need to get dressed.

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing.This is in case you don't want to go naked.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? ''' Forest cafe has shut, so we can't paint there. painting may be possible in the meadows, but we don't know what COVID restrictions are going to be in place, so it may not be.''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, body-paint crayons and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There MAY be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen. It depends on COVID restrictions'''

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops, and we now have our own version of the Boris Bikes.

We have WNBR saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

{{Ride location next ride|Date=TBA - {{Evading covid|Summer or early autumn|Type=CANCELLED}}|Time=TBA|Location=Middle Meadow Walk, Meadows, Edinburgh}}

'''WE ARE INTENDING TO RIDE in 2021 '''
Provisionally 4/9/21 at 1400. Probably meet from 1300.

==Ride information==

'''Saddle covers'''

We have saddle covers, available on the day for £2. Please email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com if you want one, as we only have a very limited number.

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===

It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory.

For the second time in Edinburgh, a change in the application of the law means nudity will be possible. Last year 3/4 of the way around, we were asked to cover up. Next time we have concrete assurances from the police that they will allow us to remain naked if we are just protesting on our bikes.
Edinburgh is no longer the only clothed WNBR on the planet!

In previous years, obliged to be part covered, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear. This year we can be naked if we want to :) '''Bring a bag to carry your clothes''', as we can't promise they would still be there on your return if you left them in the Meadows. If your bike breaks down and you don't have something to wear you will be naked and alone in the middle of Edinburgh... It would be legal to push it back to the start naked, but you might not feel confident doing this. (Although we are nice people, and it's a small ride, so we probably would try to get you a cover up, or someone to chum you back to your kit.)

Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. It is ok to put a flag or banner on your bike, just make sure that it is secure, and not likely to get caught in the machinery!

See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic

===Legality===

We are assured by the fiscals office, and the police that simply being naked is not illegal. See the British Naturism advice at [https://www.bn.org.uk/files/file/739-legal-guides-public-place-naturism/]

We are also assured by Edinburgh Police that for 2021, their control will be made aware of the guidance that being naked in public is legal. However '''don't do anything to harass, alarm or distress people, and nothing you wouldn't do clothed. Anything other than going about your normal, legal, business (Like protesting whilst riding your bike.) could be seen as harassing, alarming, or distressing people, and that could be illegal. Play nice.'''

last year 2019, we rode about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way around the route naked before the police asked us to cover up. They were polite about it, and sounded genuinely disappointed that they had to ask us. In 2021, there should be no need to get dressed.

This is an organised event, the police are aware, but don't feel it justifies an escort. They usually come and see us off from the Meadows.
The Police were fantastic and friendly in previous years and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare. Decoration! '''Bring an emergency cover up!'''

Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!

===Decoration===

Lets have fun with it. In previous years people were plastering each other with body paint and wearing comedy G-strings.

We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, and apply decoration. However, COVID restrictions may mean we can't do this. It depends if social distancing is still a thing.This is in case you don't want to go naked.

Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? ''' Forest cafe has shut, so we can't paint there. painting may be possible in the meadows, but we don't know what COVID restrictions are going to be in place, so it may not be.''' Get a buddy to paint the bits you can't reach! Be aware that a complicated all over painting scheme takes ages! We have stencils, paint, brushes, body-paint crayons and sponges.

Best of all, take some inspiration from other rides around the world, many of which manage to post pictures that are totally work-safe due to the sheer weight of ornamentation!

===Photography===
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy [https://wnbr.london/wnbr-london/need-to-know/photography-policy/] unless posted otherwise. It contains some good advice for both riders and Photographers. Riders should note that when EWNBR started, most photographers were at the start. On the route it was mostly random tourists. Now everyone has a phone or tablet with a camera. If you are worried about appearing online, possibly a hat or wig, some fancy dress, and a pair of dark sunglasses may reduce the chance of being recognised. If you do take pictures, there is a flickr group at [https://www.flickr.com/groups/edwnbr/] any photos that publicise our cause are good, but play nice and if someone indicates that they are unwilling to be photographed, please respect that.
'''There will be a "No photography zone." for changing/body painting behind a screen.

=== What if I don't have a bike? ===
It is possible to hire bikes in Edinburgh.[https://www.google.com/search?q=bike+hire+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB713GB713&oq=bike+hire&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5823j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] or [http://www.cycling-edinburgh.org.uk/rent-bike-edinburgh.htm]There are several shops, and we now have our own version of the Boris Bikes. [https://edinburghcyclehire.com/how-it-works]If you use any of these, we strongly suggest that you put some sort of cover over the saddle. After all, you don't know where it's been! We have WNBR saddle covers, as used by London WNBR. £2. Contact us to reserve one via facebook or our email wnbredinburgh@virginmedia.com

=== Could I use some other form of human powered transport? ===
Yes, but the route has some hills, both up and down. '''Whatever you use needs to be roadworthy, and have brakes!''' Otherwise you will probably end up as a smear on the side of a bus or tram!

===What if my Bike Breaks Down?===
Please try to ensure it doesn't! Check it over and fix anything that needs it the day before. Make sure it's roadworthy. If something does break, we will carry some tools, but '''if it's something that needs more than two minutes to fix, we can't wait.''' We will wait while you cover up, but you will then have to make your own way back to the start, or home!

== What if I fall off or otherwise injure myself? ==
There will be first aiders present. Tell a steward.

===Directions===

==History==

===2019===
'''First ever fully naked ride in Edinburgh'''

Again cold and wet. About 13.5 C. (56.3F) The downpour stopped for the actual ride, but 12 people braved the showers and cold wind. Most of them naked. Due to a communication issue between different parts of the police force, we were requested to cover up about 3/4 of the way around the route. It later turned out that of the thousands of people who must have seen us, one had complained! In future the police will tell people that riding a bike naked is legal!
The route was modified to avoid another protest, so we cycled '''all''' of the Royal Mile, including its crowds of tourists.

Saturday 11 June 2011

In spite of temperatures of less than ten degrees and continuous rain, 10 people were still game enough to make the ride wearing only bodypaint and some scraps of lycra. The ride started at approx 4:30pm, half an hour late due to a last minute storage issue.
