 As well as promoting healthy life choices it can also be the best fun you can ever have on two wheels. The Brighton ride carries the City's reputation as an exciting multicultural centre, with big crowds in the famous shopping streets to cheer it on. It is fun, legal and all in a worthy cause.

 * You may be directed to park your bike in a specific area of the compound to avoid the congestion created by randomly deposited bikes that we have experienced previously, please seek to assist us by complying.
-* The ride will accept cycles, tandems and trikes - electrically assisted cycles are OK too. Electrically powered (motor)cycles, hoverboards and scooters are illegal and Police will be present and may confiscate such devices and charge users with an offence. Skaters and runners are discouraged.
+We could go on and on with this list. Everything is here on our wiki as well in the previous posts on Instagram and FB and on Eventbrite (link in bio) so please do have a read today and make sure you are up to date with all the announcements.
-* Toilets are available in Preston Park and at Black Rock.
+Our event is rooted in community and mutual aid spirit and respect and solidarity towards other participants is crucial. We might have slightly different reason why we all take part in the BNBR and what messages are closest to our hearts but we are sure we all want the event to be fun and safe for EVERYONE.  Regardless of their gender, ethnicity, sexuality, body shape, class, whether they are naked or not ready to take their clothes off for the ride just yet.
-* ''Take your clothes with you on the bike'', in a waterproof bag in case of rain (wet clothes aren't funny), we do ''NOT'' return to the start, which is dismantled as soon as we leave it, so you will need them. Cycling naked in Brighton after the end of the ride is not advisable, you will no longer have the protection of fellow riders or the police. Please make sure that your cycle luggage is secure, huge bags and poor bungee cords have caused far too many problems in the past.
+We are super excited about the weekend and can’t wait to welcome you all.
-* If you're going for a skinny-dip (it will be near low-tide) you may need a towel unless you're OK with drip-drying and as its a pebble beach, for some sunbathing comfort.
+== Be Part of It!  ==
 * We will be collecting donations at the assembly point and at the beach finish. You can also donate online via [https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brighton-naked-bike-ride-2022-tickets-330779368997?fbclid=IwAR3LIqGGkkNRhueVZ0AExOAj9FaU3X_kG7zyk1LvNeJqCuyWZUU1DnVf8G8 EventBrite].

		+
		+	<p><span>The World Naked Bike Ride is a global protest movement with rides in cities around the world, raising awareness of issues such as safety of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependency and saving the planet. Let's make the planet great again!</span>
		+
		+	<p>
		+	<br/><span><strong>WNBR's themes are to</strong>:</span>
		+	<br/><span>- protest against the global dependency on oil</span>
		+	<br/><span>- curb car culture</span>
		+	<br/><span>- obtain real rights for cyclists</span>
		+	<br/><span>- demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets</span>
		+	<br/><span>- celebrate body freedom</span>
		+	</p>
		+
		+	<br/><span>As well as promoting healthy life choices it can also be the best fun you can ever have on two wheels. The Brighton ride carries the City's reputation as an exciting multicultural centre, with big crowds in the famous shopping streets to cheer it on. It is fun, legal and all in a worthy cause.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span><strong>Participants should note the following:</strong></span>
		+	<br/><br/><span style="color: red;"><strong>Covid 19 provisions</strong></span>
		+	<strong><br/>
		+	<span style="color: red;">Ideally you should take a pre-ride Lateral Flow test or even better a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. Lateral Flow tests are less accurate but give a rapid result, PCR tests take laboratory time.  DO NOT RIDE if you are suffering from ANY symptoms of illness.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span style="color: red;">The Naked Bike Ride takes place in the open air and cycle spacing will provide some protection against transmission of infection. If you so wish please feel at ease wearing a normal mask. Do not wear any large mask that might affect your ability to see to ride safely.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span style="color: red;">Please remember personal space when in the cordoned assembly area (compound) before the start at Preston Park and at any stop. Wear a mask if possible.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span style="color: red;">Bring hand gel.</span></strong>
		+
		+	<br/><span><strong>Other Safety</strong></span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>You may be directed to park your bike in a specific area of the compound to avoid the congestion created by randomly deposited bikes that we have experienced previously, please seek to assist us by complying.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>The ride will accept cycles, tandems and trikes - electrically assisted cycles are OK too. Electrically powered (motor)cycles, hoverboards and scooters are illegal and Police will be present and may confiscate such devices and charge users with an offence. Skaters and runners are discouraged.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>Children (under 16) may accompany you on the ride but must remain clothed and be in the care of an adult parent or guardian at all times. They must be competent cyclists and wear adequate protective equipment.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>'''Please ensure that your bike is roadworthy. Nothing loose, check your chain, wheels, tyres, saddlepost and handlebars and lights too, if you're making a late finish of the day.'''</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>You should be sure to bring your preferred suncream and may wish to bring your own body paint if you are using it. In intense sunshine body paint can act as a UV filter, you may end up wearing your slogan (in negative letters!) for some time !!</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span><strong>Photography</strong></span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>No clothed non-participant photographers will be permitted in the compound. If you are willing to be photographed please let the entrance desk know as they may be able to make arrangements with photographers. If you leave the compound you may be photographed by anybody. Photographers will be present on the route, if any become a problem please challenge them, their activity may be rude and intrusive but is not illegal.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span><strong>Hints and Tips</strong></span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>The World Naked Bike Ride is a protest, not an event. We do not require permission in the UK (yet) to hold this rally however we do, as a matter of courtesy, and for the safety of our participants, liaise with the Police, who, with our thanks, provide us with a number of officers as escort cycle riders and safety vehicles.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>Riding naked is no more uncomfortable in the saddle than being clothed and may be better as there is no fabric to chafe. Some people utilise an additional fabric seat cover - depends on the padding of both seat and rider!</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>The motto of the ride is "as bare as you dare", complete nudity is permitted in law as long as there is '''no intention to cause harassment, alarm or distress'''. Footware of some sort is advised both for pedal and roadway comfort. You may wish to wear body painted slogans or have a flag attached to your bike. It is hoped that we will have body painters available to assist for whom a donation is appropriate.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>Toilets are available in Preston Park and at Black Rock.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span><strong>Take your clothes with you on the bike</strong>, in a waterproof bag in case of rain (wet clothes aren't funny), we do <strong>NOT</strong> return to the start, which is dismantled as soon as we leave it, so you will need them. Cycling naked in Brighton after the end of the ride is not advisable, you will no longer have the protection of fellow riders or the police. Please make sure that your cycle luggage is secure, huge bags and poor bungee cords have caused far too many problems in the past.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>If you're going for a skinny-dip (it will be near high-tide) you may need a towel unless you're OK with drip-drying and as its a pebble beach, for some sunbathing comfort.</span>
		+
		+	<br/><span>We will be collecting donations at the assembly point and at the beach finish.
