 Previously ride organisers have asked participants to wait until the official assembly time before getting naked but given it's a public beach and it is not unlawful to be naked in a public place, you are at liberty to sunbathe and swim naked. The law is explained here:

-All other details will remain the same as in recent years: meet from 12:30pm for a 1:30pm ride start time, but given the general acceptance now of nudity in Hastings and East Sussex, you can ride there naked and/or turn up earlier. But best to go further onto the beach, towards the sea and away from the road. I shall cycle there naked, and probably before noon, depending on the weather and whether I have arranged to meet anyone early. Please see my contact details below if you want arrange to meet up early.

 The route will start from the crossing, where there is a break in the safety railings, and head West on the seafront road. Alternatively, if numbers are small, we'll use the cycle route which runs parallel to the seafront road on the beach side.

 The-Union Bar, formerly the Tubman, has always been a foremost socially consious and active element in Hastings life and has offered its premises freely for an AFTER-PARTY, which will start, say, an hour after the finish of the protest ride.
 The event has been hosted on behalf of the World Naked Bike Ride, Hastings, by Harvey Palmer, erstwhile front man for successful Hastings indie band King the Native, and currently an active local concert promoter. All timeline progress for this concert event can be followed at:  [https://www.facebook.com/events/1419971928281125/]

 The meet-up time of 12:30pm is to allow time for people to arrive and prepare and gives us a full hour to be naked for body-painting - normally people will strip off and paint slogans on their bodies to highlight the issues - so please be as informative and creative as you can.
-Body painting and decoration is very much a part of the WNBR. It is also a good time to decorate bikes with garlands and generally socialise with other riders and the public who turn up to support the campaign.

 While on that point, the theme is 'body-freedom' - not exhibitionism - so if anyone thinks this will be an opportunity to parade around, it won't be. You will be asked to dress and leave if you cause a nuisance and we will ask police for assistance in that if necessary.
-The Police will be aware of the protest and will be there for our (your) protection. They will be aware of our intention to ride in protest against oil dependency and in celebration of bicycles. They will be fully aware that many/most of our riders will be nude and partially nude.

 WNBR is a fun, inspirational, non-confrontational body-positive event with a positive message of hope. That is why the ride has been such a huge hit and so many are supportive. Just use common sense and mind your manners!
