<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
Police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 5 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
All Saints Park is on the Western Side of Oxford Rd (A34) between the Mancunian Way overpass and Cavendish Street (the next traffic lights as you head south). Enter from Oxford Road or Cavendish Street<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with xxxx (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
It keeps getting better and better, and 2010 was the best year yet. Not only did we have 100 naked cyclists, we even had a unicyclist and a rollerblader! Special thanks go to our volunteer marshals and Greater Manchester Police, who looked after us and escorted us beautifully. <br />
We even got a report in the MEN [http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1242866_naked_bikers_bear_up_to_traffic_in_city_protest]<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

{{Ride location next ride|Time=6pm for 7pm|Date=Fri 14st June 2013 |Location= All Saints Park, Cavendish St (off Oxford Road near MMU)M15 6BH}}. <br />
<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
Police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 5 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
All Saints Park is on the Western Side of Oxford Rd (A34) between the Mancunian Way overpass and Cavendish Street (the next traffic lights as you head south). Enter from Oxford Road or Cavendish Street<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
It keeps getting better and better, and 2010 was the best year yet. Not only did we have 100 naked cyclists, we even had a unicyclist and a rollerblader! Special thanks go to our volunteer marshals and Greater Manchester Police, who looked after us and escorted us beautifully. <br />
We even got a report in the MEN [http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1242866_naked_bikers_bear_up_to_traffic_in_city_protest]<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
It keeps getting better and better, and 2010 was the best year yet. Not only did we have 100 naked cyclists, we even had a unicyclist and a rollerblader! Special thanks go to our volunteer marshals and Greater Manchester Police, who looked after us and escorted us beautifully. <br />
We even got a report in the MEN [http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1242866_naked_bikers_bear_up_to_traffic_in_city_protest]<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
It keeps getting better and better, and 2010 was the best year yet. Not only did we have 100 naked cyclists, we even had a unicyclist and a rollerblader! Special thanks go to our volunteer marshals and Greater Manchester Police, who looked after us and escorted us beautifully. <br />
We even got a report in the MEN [http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1242866_naked_bikers_bear_up_to_traffic_in_city_protest]<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

{{Ride location next ride|Time=6pm for 7pm|Date=Fri 1st June 2012 |Location= All Saints Park, Oxford Road near MMU}}. <br />
<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
Police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 5 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
All Saints Park is on the Western Side of Oxford Rd (A34) between the Mancunian Way overpass and Cavendish Street (the next traffic lights as you head south). Enter from Oxford Road or Cavendish Street<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
====Poster====<br />
For the 2009 ride, some A4 posters have been printed. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from<br />
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_Manchester_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for Manchester (UK design)]]'''<br />

{{Ride location next ride|Time=6pm for 7pm|Date=Fri 1st June 2012 |Location= All Saints Park, Oxford Road near MMU}}. <br />
<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
Police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 5 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
All Saints Park is on the Western Side of Oxford Rd (A34) between the Mancunian Way overpass and Cavendish Street (the next traffic lights as you head south). Enter from Oxford Road or Cavendish Street<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
====Poster====<br />
For the 2009 ride, some A4 posters have been printed. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from<br />
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_Manchester_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for Manchester (UK design)]]'''<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
It keeps getting better and better, and 2010 was the best year yet. Not only did we have 100 naked cyclists, we even had a unicyclist and a rollerblader! Special thanks go to our volunteer marshals and Greater Manchester Police, who looked after us and escorted us beautifully. <br />
We even got a report in the MEN [http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1242866_naked_bikers_bear_up_to_traffic_in_city_protest]<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
Police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 5 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
All Saints Park is on the Western Side of Oxford Rd (A34) between the Mancunian Way overpass and Cavendish Street (the next traffic lights as you head south). Enter from Oxford Road or Cavendish Street<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
====Poster====<br />
For the 2009 ride, some A4 posters have been printed. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from<br />
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_Manchester_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for Manchester (UK design)]]'''<br />
for printing locally.<br />
<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
It keeps getting better and better, and 2010 was the best year yet. Not only did we have 100 naked cyclists, we even had a unicyclist and a rollerblader! Special thanks go to our volunteer marshals and Greater Manchester Police, who looked after us and escorted us beautifully. <br />
We even got a report in the MEN [http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1242866_naked_bikers_bear_up_to_traffic_in_city_protest]<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

==Other upcoming events==<br />
<br />
The World Naked Bike Ride anticipates holding a stall at the following events (among others). <br />
<br />
'''[http://www.environmental-rock.org.uk/ Environmental Rock]'''<br /><br />
Monday 3 May 2010, 12 noon - 6pm (times are approximate, check website for details)<br /><br />

'''[http://www.camdengreenfair.org.uk/ Camden Green Fair And Bikefest]'''<br /><br />
Sunday 6 June 2010<br /><br />
Regent's Park, London, NW1<br/>(please get in touch if you can help with leafletting at this event).<br />
<br />
==Events After the WNBR==<br />
'''[http://www.climatecamp.org.uk National Climate Camp]'''<br /><br />
'''[http://www.globalclimatecampaign.org Global day of action]'''<br /><br />
4 December 2010<br /><br />
As in previous years, there will likely be a bike ride protest before the main march in London. Although it's not advisable to go naked in cold weather, you could bring your WNBR flag and go "as bare as you can bear". Regardless of how you participate, the demo is very important and well worth attending.<br />
<br />
==Press enquiries==<br />
<br />
Press work is usually handled by local ride coordinators or press officers. For UK-wide information, see the [[United Kingdom Media Information]] page.<br />
<br />
==Posters==<br />
For the 2009 rides, full colour A4 posters have been printed for each ride. If more are needed, PDF versions of them can be downloaded for: <br />

==FAQs==<br />
<br />
The [[United Kingdom FAQ]] page answers questions especially relevant to UK riders and organisers.<br />
<br />
==Legality==<br />
<br />
===UK laws relating to public nudity===<br />
<br />
The following links will be of interest to people organising rides in the UK:<br />
<br />
*[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ACTS/acts2003/30042--b.htm#66 Sexual Offences Act 2003, Section 66 - Exposure] (c/o the [http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ Office of Public Sector Information])<br />
*[[Wikipedia: Sexual Offences Act 2003]]<br />
*[http://nuff.org.uk/factfile/content/view/150/72/ Laws relevant to nudity in public places] from the [http://www.nuff.org.uk/ Naturist UK Fact File] (NUFF)<br />
*[http://stop-racist-human-skin-phobia.org/laws.html Vincent Bethell explains UK law including his not guilty verdicts plus letters from New Scotland Yard saying Breach Of Peace is not applicable to public nakedness] view main site: [http://stop-racist-human-skin-phobia.org/ Stop Racist Human Skin Phobia] (SRHSP)<br />
<br />
===Police restrictions===<br />
<br />
From 2004 to 2009, there have been 30 UK Naked Bike Rides with a cumulative total of 7,000+ riders in 11 locations, and no arrests.<br />
<br />
It is unlikely that police will object to nudity at future rides in England and Wales. Local police officially acknowledged the legality of full nudity at all seven rides in 2008 and all five rides in 2007. They required people to wear clothes at three English rides ([[Brighton]], [[Manchester]] and [[Bristol]]) in 2006, but have made no such restrictions at later events.<br />
<br />
In contrast, Scottish police have never allowed full nudity at the two [[Edinburgh]] rides in 2004 and 2008.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Media coverage==<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
{{Ride location next ride|Time=7pm|Date=Fri 3rd June 2011 |Location= All Saints Park, Oxford Road near MMU}}. <br />
<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
In previous years, police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 5 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
All Saints Park is on the Western Side of Oxford Rd (A34) between the Mancunian Way overpass and Cavendish Street (the next traffic lights as you head south). Enter from Oxford Road or Cavendish Street<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
====Poster====<br />
For the 2009 ride, some A4 posters have been printed. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from<br />
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_Manchester_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for Manchester (UK design)]]'''<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
It keeps getting better and better, and 2010 was the best year yet. Not only did we have 100 naked cyclists, we even had a unicyclist and a rollerblader! Special thanks go to our volunteer marshals and Greater Manchester Police, who looked after us and escorted us beautifully. <br />
We even got a report in the MEN [http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1242866_naked_bikers_bear_up_to_traffic_in_city_protest]<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
In previous years, police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 4 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
The park is on Oxford Road close to Manchester Metropolitan University, between the BBC and the larger University of Manchester.<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
====Poster====<br />
For the 2009 ride, some A4 posters have been printed. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
It keeps getting better and better, and 2010 was the best year yet. Not only did we have 100 naked cyclists, we even had a unicyclist and a rollerblader! Special thanks go to our volunteer marshals and Greater Manchester Police, who looked after us and escorted us beautifully. <br />
We even got a report in the MEN [http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1242866_naked_bikers_bear_up_to_traffic_in_city_protest]<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

'''Northern exposure this year!'''<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Manchester Naked Bike Ride official web pages.<br />
<br />
2009 may go down inhistory as the strangest ride yet. Reaction was fantastic, the ride was great fun and everything was perfect. Then due to a failure of communication the police stopped us! They really boobed! <br />
Don't worry folks, that won't happen again. We've sorted everything out with the police and this year's ride will be even better! they've even offered us an escort.<br />
<br />
Please join us or help with this year's ride (2010).<br />
Check out our photos to help you decide.<br />

'''Northern exposure this year!'''<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Manchester Naked Bike Ride official web pages.<br />
<br />
2009 may go down inhistory as the strangest ride yet. Reaction was fantastic, the ride was great fun and everything was perfect. Then due to a failure of communication the police stopped us! They really boobed! <br />
Don't worry folks, that won't happen again. We've sorted everything out with the police and this year's ride will be even better! they've even offered us an escort.<br />
<br />
Please join us or help with this year's ride (2010).<br />
Check out our photos to help you decide.<br />

{{Ride location next ride|Time=6pm assembly for 7pm departure|Date=Friday 11 June 2010|Location= All Saints Park (near MMU), Oxford Road, Manchester}}. <br />
<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
In previous years, police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 4 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
The park is on Oxford Road close to Manchester Metroploitan University, between the BBC and the larger University of Manchester.<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
====Poster====<br />
For the 2009 ride, some A4 posters have been printed. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from<br />
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_Manchester_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for Manchester (UK design)]]'''<br />
for printing locally.<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage. The police later apologised in writing as the ride had been OK'd by them previously. They agreed to accompany the Ride in future as they do at Naked Rides in other cities, so there will be no problems next year.”<br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

'''Northern exposure this year!'''<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Manchester Naked Bike Ride official web pages.<br />
<br />
2009 may go down inhistory as the strangest ride yet. Reaction was fantastic, the ride was great fun and everything was perfect. Then the police completely and utterly boobed! Don't worry folks, we've sorted everything out and this year's ride will be even better!<br />
<br />
Please join us or help with this year's ride (2010).<br />

<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
In previous years, police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 4 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
The park is on Oxford Road close to Manchester Metroploitan University, between the BBC and the larger University of Manchester.<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
====Poster====<br />
For the 2009 ride, some A4 posters have been printed. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from<br />
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_Manchester_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for Manchester (UK design)]]'''<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage.<br />
It ain't gonna happen again folks, we'll make sure of that!<br />
Next year's going to have the best ride ever!<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

'''Northern exposure this year!'''<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Manchester Naked Bike Ride official web pages.<br />
<br />
2009 may go down inhistory as the strangest ride yet. Reaction was fantastic, the ride was great fun and everything was perfect. Then the police completely and utterly boobed! Don't worry folks, we've sorted everything out and this year's ride will be even better!<br />
<br />
Please join us or help with this year's ride (2010).<br />
Check out our photos to help you decide.<br />

{{Ride location next ride|Time=6pm assembly for 7pm departure|Date=Friday 11 June 2010|Location= All Saints Park (near MMU), Oxford Road, Manchester}}. <br />
<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
In previous years, police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 4 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. If you want to photograph people before or after the ride ASK THEM. If they say no then don't, if they say yes go ahead. Simples!<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
The park is on Oxford Road close to Manchester Metroploitan University, between the BBC and the larger University of Manchester.<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
====Poster====<br />
For the 2009 ride, some A4 posters have been printed. If more are needed, a PDF file can be downloaded from<br />
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_Manchester_A4.pdf|Full colour A4 Poster for Manchester (UK design)]]'''<br />
for printing locally.<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The weather was perfect, the riders were exceptional and the starting point was lovely. We rode in joy and fun and lots of noise for almost the whole route and the crowds loved us.<br />
It all went a bit pear-shaped on Portland Street when some well-intentioned but sadly ill-informed constabulary stopped the ride and tried to make us get dressed. We undressed around the corner anyway, and we did get a lot of wonderful media coverage.<br />
It ain't gonna happen again folks, we'll make sure of that!<br />
Next year's going to have the best ride ever!<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

As the ride is a fast moving event, we recommend that press "embed" themselves in the ride. We can put you in contact with robust rickshaw pedicabs that can carry you along with the ride (at a modest fee). You won't be required to strip off, and you'll be able to truly experience/film the ride as it happens. Please get in touch.<br />
<br />
We welcome all press to attend the World Naked Bike Ride events in the UK, but most rides require that press comply with the ride's local photography policy (see [[London]] for an example policy).<br />

In previous years, police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 3 years.<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />

Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />

'''Northern exposure this year!'''<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Manchester Naked Bike Ride official web pages.<br />
<br />
It all went brilliantly here in Manchester last year (2008), all good responses and between 80-100 cycled this year despite a very cold afternoon with rain and wind, we all went for it. See below for a complete ride report! Please join us or help with this year's ''great'' ride (2009).<br />
<br />
Check out our photos to help you decide.<br />

Questions? Contact Seán 07906 086 128 or email {{Email link|Email=fittonsean@yahoo.co.uk}}<br />
<br />
It helps to get an idea of numbers if you register your intent to participate in this ride by filling in the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/ registration form] at the main World Naked Bike Ride site.<br />
<br />
{{Ride location next ride|Time=6pm assembly for 7pm departure|Date=Friday 12 June 2009|Location= TBA}}. <br />
<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
In previous years, police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 3 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will be using the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/london/policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
Directions will be added when we've arranged a starting point.<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
===Get involved===<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from Belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on Canal Street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

<br />
Welcome to the Manchester Naked Bike Ride official web pages.<br />

It all went brilliantly here in Manchester last year (2008), all good responses and between 80-100 cycled this year despite a very cold afternoon with rain and wind, we all went for it. See below for a complete ride report! Please join us or help with this year's ''great'' ride (2009).<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on canal street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />

'''Northern exposure this year!'''<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Manchester Naked Bike Ride official web pages.<br />

It all went brilliantly here in Manchester last year (2008), all good responses and between 80-100 cycled this year despite a very cold afternoon with rain and wind, we all went for it. See below for a complete ride report! Please join us or help with this year's ''great'' ride (2009).<br />

<br />
==Ride details==<br />
===Duration===<br />
The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.<br />
<br />
===Dress code===<br />
In previous years, police have OK'd the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last 3 years.<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will be using the [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/london/policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
Directions will be added when we've arranged a starting point.<br />
<br />
===Publicise the ride===<br />
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Manchester location (TBC) or get in touch with Seán (details above). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.<br />
<br />
===Get involved===<br />

==Ride reports==<br />
===2008===<br />
Well ....despite pretty nipply weather that gave some of us the willies, we still managed to have a great night cycling naked around our lovely city. Thankfully it didn't rain.<br />
<br />
We've had lots of attention from the press again with a great report from Granada<br />
[http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440 http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/?player=GRA_News_15&void=201440]<br />
Look out for an article in Manchester evening news and a couple of other local papers, plus lots of radio coverage. It was great to have people travel all the way from Liverpool, Bolton, Blackburn and of course the riders from the York ride, we even had a runner who had come all the way from belgium!<br />
<br />
From applause on canal street, to teenagers running in excited fear, I think we all deserve a city wide cheer. Well done to all those who took part, it was a great atmosphere and I'm happy to say on final count we estimated there were about 80+ of us.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.<br />
<br />
We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!<br />
