==History==
 +
*On this {{SITENAME}} wiki, a <span class="plainlinks">[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Nottingham&oldid=23068 since November 2011 suggested ride at {{PAGENAME}}]</span> had indicated "some" date in June 2012. <span class="plainlinks">[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Nottingham&oldid=26085 Follow-up during May/June of the latter year ended]</span> a day before the on the 16th scheduled WNBR with: "POSTPONED due to extreme weather". And then it remained awfully quiet.
 +
*In 2019 however, the first WNBR at {{PAGENAME}} was <span class="plainlinks">[http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Nottingham&oldid=33350 programmed for the 1st of June]</span>. That afternoon, on NottinghamshireLive, Rachel Gorman's article —with pictures and a video— '[http://www.nottinghampost.com/whats-on/whats-on-news/live-updates-world-naked-bike-2930906 Live updates as World Naked Bike Ride arrives in Nottingham for the first time<!--Read 2020-04-22-->]' stated: "It's been in the pipeline for the last seven years".
 +
*Unfortunately, the second edition of {{PAGENAME}}'s WNBR could not be held in the spring of 2020, due to the infamous covid-19 pandemic.

The decision on the route around Nottingham is yet to be finalised, but it will take in extensive parts of the city visiting the Robin Hood statue and hopefully the Old Market Square with plenty of opportunity for sight seeing along the way!  Most of the route will be easy cycling on level roads but there will be the inevitable hill to get into the city centre.  This is no race though so it will not be too strenuous.
