{{Ride location next ride|Time=14:00 2pm|Date=14 July 2012 |Location= Starting from Kelvingrove Park Bandstand, Kelvin Way, Glasgow}}<br />
<br />
==Ride information==<br />
<br />
===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia as well as nipples should be covered to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.<br />
<br />
See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic<br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two and this is Glasgow's first ride, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010/2011 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Glasgow prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
<br />
Kelvin Way links Argyle St and Dumbarton Road to University Avenue and Gibson street, passing under the shadow of Glasgow University and defining the Western Edge of Kelvingrove Park.<br />
<br />
The derelict Kelvingrove Park Bandstand is more or less exactly halfway along Kelvin Way on the same side of the road as the river. There is open ground to either side of the bandstand that is not part of the park proper, and here it will hopefully be possible to have an screened area for changing and bodypainting.<br />
<br />
It cannot be guaranteed that we will be able to safely cache our gear during the ride, so please be prepared to carry your kit with you on your bikes. Hopefully this will not be necessary, but it pays to think ahead.<br />
<br />
Kelvin Way can be seen in this link: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1440&bih=698&q=kelvin+way&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x488845d254ffb7fd:0xd0e48822fcbea33,Kelvin+Way,+Glasgow,+Glasgow+City+G12&gl=uk&ei=ZSm-T5-0KNGl8gOU1YCeAQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBAQ8gEwAA<br />

===2011===<br />
Saturday 11 June 2011<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==Ride information==<br />
<br />
===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia as well as nipples should be covered to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.<br />
<br />
See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic<br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two and this is Glasgow's first ride, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010/2011 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Glasgow prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />

==Registering your interest==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<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 2011, there have been 50 UK Naked Bike Rides with a cumulative total of 11,000+ riders in 13 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 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.<br />
<br />
In contrast, Scottish police have never officially allowed full nudity at the four [[Edinburgh]] rides in 2004, 2008, 2010, and 2011. No arrest have been made, so the legality of the Scottish police's position has never actually been tested in court.<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 />

==Registering your interest==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<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 2011, there have been 50 UK Naked Bike Rides with a cumulative total of 11,000+ riders in 13 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 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.<br />
<br />
In contrast, Scottish police have never officially allowed full nudity at the four [[Edinburgh]] rides in 2004, 2008, 2010, and 2011. No arrest have been made, so the legality of the Scottish police's position has never actually been tested in court.<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 />

==Ride information==<br />
<br />
===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia should be covered as well as nipples, to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.<br />
<br />
See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic<br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010/2011 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
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 [http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GB|edinburgh,%20meadows#map=55.94266,-3.19041|16|32&loc=GB:55.96568:-3.19444:14|edinburgh,%20meadows|City%20of%20Edinburgh,%20Scotland,%20EH7%204 link to the map] and here is a [http://meadowsmarathon.org.uk/downloads/map.jpg map of the Meadows].

===2011===<br />
Saturday 11 June 2011<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==Registering your interest==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Future rides==<br />
The 2012 rides will be held in June 2012. London will likely hold their ride on Saturday 9 June 2012, and Brighton on Sunday 10 June 2012. <br />
<br />
The following rides are expected to take place in 2012:<br />
<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 2011, there have been 50 UK Naked Bike Rides with a cumulative total of 11,000+ riders in 13 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 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.<br />
<br />
In contrast, Scottish police have never officially allowed full nudity at the four [[Edinburgh]] rides in 2004, 2008, 2010, and 2011. No arrest have been made, so the legality of the Scottish police's position has never actually been tested in court.<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 />
===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia should be covered as well as nipples, to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.<br />
<br />
See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic<br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
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 [http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GB|edinburgh,%20meadows#map=55.94266,-3.19041|16|32&loc=GB:55.96568:-3.19444:14|edinburgh,%20meadows|City%20of%20Edinburgh,%20Scotland,%20EH7%204 link to the map] and here is a [http://meadowsmarathon.org.uk/downloads/map.jpg map of the Meadows].

==History==<br />
===2011===<br />
Saturday 11 June 2011<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia should be covered as well as nipples, to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.<br />
<br />
See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic<br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />

===2011===<br />
Saturday 11 June 2011<br />
<br />
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.<br />

===2011===<br />
Saturday 11 June 2011<br />
<br />
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.<br />

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia should be covered as well as nipples, to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.<br />
<br />
See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic<br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />

Saturday 11 June 2011<br />
<br />
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.<br />

===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia should be covered as well as nipples, to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.<br />
<br />
See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic<br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />

<br />
===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia should be covered as well as nipples, to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.<br />
<br />
See also the [[United Kingdom FAQ]] for more information on this topic<br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
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 [http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GB|edinburgh,%20meadows#map=55.94266,-3.19041|16|32&loc=GB:55.96568:-3.19444:14|edinburgh,%20meadows|City%20of%20Edinburgh,%20Scotland,%20EH7%204 link to the map] and here is a [http://meadowsmarathon.org.uk/downloads/map.jpg map of the Meadows].

==Ride information==<br />
<br />
===Dress Code: "Is Nudity mandatory?"===<br />
<br />
It's not such a silly question when you think about the name of the event but No, nudity is not mandatory. <br />
<br />
The official dress code is that genitalia should be covered as well as nipples, to avoid scaring small children and horses, and after that, go wild. <br />
<br />
In previous years, riders have worn shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wear footwear and bring bags to carry clothes. Body painting and adornment, customised bikes and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged. <br />
<br />
===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
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 [http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GB|edinburgh,%20meadows#map=55.94266,-3.19041|16|32&loc=GB:55.96568:-3.19444:14|edinburgh,%20meadows|City%20of%20Edinburgh,%20Scotland,%20EH7%204 link to the map] and here is a [http://meadowsmarathon.org.uk/downloads/map.jpg map of the Meadows].

==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 />

===Legality===<br />
<br />
Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to the fun stuff: Decoration!<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
<br />
Now we know where the limits are (ie. the absolute bare minimum) lets have fun with it. Last year people were plastering each other with body paint, nipple tassels and comedy G-strings. We work best when we are forced to improvise, so improvise your hearts out.<br />
<br />
We will do our best to provide some screens to get changed behind, but we guarantee nothing. Why not have a 'painting-party' beforehand, and really go to town? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />

Although there has been a lot of media attention on the legality of nudity on these rides it really is something of a non-issue. For the record, anyone who turns up fully nude will be risking arrest on a charge of "Outraging Public Decency". Older and wiser heads have informed us that this has been the case for most rides in the early years, we have just been stuck with it because Edinburgh WNBR has so far never run continuously for more than a year or two, meaning negotiations have to be opened afresh each time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an organised event, and there will be a police escort. Since the Police are there for our protection (we will be riding en-masse in traffic after all) we would prefer not to aggravate them unnecessarily. The Police were fantastic and friendly in 2010 and this event would like to continue having an amicable relationship.<br />

The clothing options are pretty simple: Bare-as-you-Dare (except for Nipples and Nadgers) <br />

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

==Ride information==<br />
===Legality===<br />
Unlike the rest of the UK where public nudity is 'legal-ish' in this kind of context, in Scotland the laws are enforced to the maximum extent allowed by the law itself. At the time of writing, Stephen Gough (the naked rambler) is in prison on a charge of 'Breach of the Peace'. Stephen is the extreme example, but the unfortunate fact is that anyone turning up completely nude will be risking arrest.<br />
<br />
(for anyone interested in the minutiae: <br />
<br />
It is perfectly legal to be naked in a public place if there is no-one else there. It is also fine if there is another person there and they don't mind. If they DO mind, they can complain about you to the nearest policeman, and you will be duely charged with "Outraging Public Decency". HOWEVER... where it gets interesting is that a Judge has now ruled that since PC Plod is a member of the public, he can complain to himself as it were, and haul you off without needing an actual complaint.<br />
<br />
So...yeah)<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
The police will arrest anyone totally starkers for breach of the peace. What's the point? i hear you say, well we can still have fun, get painted up, put a sock on your cock, tassels on your nipples and show that there is nothing wrong with nudity, but by forcing us to cover up, we are only highlighting our fun *private parts*. Be as inventive as you can be, cover up in the smallest possible way, or totally exxxxagerate what you already have.<br />
<br />
It is a completely ridiculous stance by the police (not law, just the stance of the LBP), and the only one of it's kind in the UK. Another step forward in the right to express ourselves eh chaps?<br />

==Future rides==<br />
<br />
There is usually some talk of holding a southern hemisphere solidarity ride in March (as happened in Brighton 2009). This would probably be a one-mile ride which started and finished at/near a heated indoor setting where riders could stay warm.<br />
<br />
The following rides have been confirmed as taking place in June 2010:<br />
*'''[[Southampton]]''' Friday 11 June 2010<br />
*'''[[Manchester]]''' Friday 11 June 2010<br />
*'''[[Edinburgh]]''' Saturday 12 June 2010<br />
*'''[[London]]''' Saturday 12 June 2010 (TBC)<br />
*'''[[Cardiff]]''' Saturday 12 June 2010 (TBC)<br />
*'''[[Bristol]]''' Sunday 13 June 2010 (TBC)<br />
*'''[[Brighton & Hove]]''' Sunday 13 June 2010<br />
*'''[[York]]''' Saturday 19 June 2010<br />
*'''[[Sheffield]]''' Saturday 19 June 2010<br />
<br />
Other towns which may participate are<br />
*'''[[Bath]]'''<br />
*'''[[Belfast]]'''<br />
*'''[[Cambridge]]'''<br />
*'''[[Exeter]]'''<br />
*'''[[Glasgow]]'''<br />
*'''[[Leeds]]''' (There is currently strong interest in a ride happening here)<br />
*'''[[Oxford]]'''<br />
*'''[[Totnes]]'''<br />
<br />
These rides can be brought into being if organisers step forward and offer to work to make them happen. All rides are organised by local riders.<br />
<br />
==Other upcoming events==<br />
<br />
The World Naked Bike Ride anticipates holding a stall at the following events (among others). <br />
<br />
'''[http://enviro.susu.org/ Southampton University Environment & Ethics Week]'''<br /><br />
(TBC)<br /><br />
<br />
'''[http://www.environmental-rock.org.uk/ Environmental Rock]'''<br /><br />

Regent's Park, London, NW1<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 />
*'''[[:media:Wnbr09_Brighton_A4.pdf|Brighton]]'''<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 />

==Ride information==<br />
===Legality===<br />
Unlike the rest of the UK where public nudity is 'legal-ish' in this kind of context, in Scotland the laws are enforced to the maximum extent allowed by the law itself. At the time of writing, Stephen Gough (the naked rambler) is in prison on a charge of 'Breach of the Peace'. Stephen is the extreme example, but the unfortunate fact is that anyone turning up completely nude will be risking arrest.<br />
<br />
(for anyone interested in the minutiae: <br />
<br />
It is perfectly legal to be naked in a public place if there is no-one else there. It is also fine if there is another person there and they don't mind. If they DO mind, they can complain about you to the nearest policeman, and you will be duely charged with "Outraging Public Decency". HOWEVER... where it gets interesting is that a Judge has now ruled that since PC Plod is a member of the public, he can complain to himself as it were, and haul you off without needing an actual complaint.<br />
<br />
So...yeah)<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
The police will arrest anyone totally starkers for breach of the peace. What's the point? i hear you say, well we can still have fun, get painted up, put a sock on your cock, tassels on your nipples and show that there is nothing wrong with nudity, but by forcing us to cover up, we are only highlighting our fun *private parts*. Be as inventive as you can be, cover up in the smallest possible way, or totally exxxxagerate what you already have.<br />
<br />
It is a completely ridiculous stance by the police (not law, just the stance of the LBP), and the only one of it's kind in the UK. Another step forward in the right to express ourselves eh chaps?<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
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 [http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GB|edinburgh,%20meadows#map=55.94266,-3.19041|16|32&loc=GB:55.96568:-3.19444:14|edinburgh,%20meadows|City%20of%20Edinburgh,%20Scotland,%20EH7%204 link to the map] and here is a [http://meadowsmarathon.org.uk/downloads/map.jpg map of the Meadows].

<br />
So...yeah)<br />
<br />
===Decoration===<br />
The police will arrest anyone totally starkers for breach of the peace. What's the point? i hear you say, well we can still have fun, get painted up, put a sock on your cock, tassels on your nipples and show that there is nothing wrong with nudity, but by forcing us to cover up, we are only highlighting our fun *private parts*. Be as inventive as you can be, cover up in the smallest possible way, or totally exxxxagerate what you already have.<br />
<br />
It is a completely ridiculous stance by the police (not law, just the stance of the LBP), and the only one of it's kind in the UK. Another step forward in the right to express ourselves eh chaps?<br />
<br />
===Photography===<br />
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/london#Photography_and_filming_policy London photography policy] unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.<br />

Unlike the rest of the UK where public nudity is 'legal-ish' in this kind of context, in Scotland the laws are enforced to their illogical conclusion. At the time of writing, Stephen Gough (the naked rambler) is in prison on a charge of 'Breach of the Peace'. Stephen is the extreme example, but the unfortunate fact is that anyone turning up completely nude will be risking arrest.<br />
