There will be a special protected group for female participants, and lots of emphasis on finding and breaking down the invisible wall which stops riders with non-white skin colour from joining us. We think better advertising has a significant role here. The committee re-formed in February, so this announcement consists of things we decided upon at the end of last year. The route hasn't been plotted yet, but it will be in the city centre, and it will be different every year.

==History==

==Contacts==
A "taster" version of this ride took place on 14 October 2006, as an activity associated with the [http://www.watershed.co.uk/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Watershed.woa/wa/exhibit?object=778 free film screening] at the [http://www.watershed.co.uk/ Watershed Cinema] at 11.45am.  The screening was hosted by the [http://www.wildscreenfestival.org/ Wildscreen Festival], and the numbers at the film were more than the theatre capacity (40?). Following the film, at 12.30pm the riders assembled to set off on an impromptu ride. The police decided to require the riders to cover their "genitals" at the front (for female riders, this meant breasts too). The riders complied, and then set off on a mini ride, in very cold weather. Although the ride was intended to last just 30 minutes, the 17 riders continued for an hour, and managed to pass out all the leaflets they had on hand. By and large, the ride was greeted with support and enthusiasm, and bystanders were able to discern the purpose of the ride (thanks to many signs on bikes). The BBC ([http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/pointswest/ Points West]) filmed the event and included it in the regional TV news reports. There is a [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/6051408.stm short written report on the BBC website] too.  There seems to be enthusiasm for a future ride in Bristol – probably in June 2008.

Bristol World Naked Bike Ride 2024 - Bike riders of Bristol - join us!


A view of Bristol's 2015 ride as it goes up the driveway of City Hall from Deanery Road. Picture by Constance Rong Qiang, used with permission.

News

We will ride in 2024, on Sunday 7th July. There may also be a second ride, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the WNBR, on a weekend in August.

There will be a special protected group for female participants, and lots of emphasis on finding and breaking down the invisible wall which stops riders with non-white skin colour from joining us. We think better advertising has a significant role here. The committee re-formed in February, so this announcement consists of things we decided upon at the end of last year. The route hasn't been plotted yet, but it will be in the city centre, and it will be different every year.

The new shortlink for advertising purposes, is chipshed.org/Bristol (It's not case-sensitive.)


Ride event Facebook page TBA

The ride is a celebration of the bike, cycling and to highlight the vulnerability of cyclists.

You don't have to be naked! The theme is "as bare as you dare" If you want to dress up, dress down or strip off completely, you are most welcome.


Please donate to the WNBR UK Fund

The UK World Naked Bike Ride fund meets the cost of insuring rides
across the UK, and provides local organisers with money for
poster/flyer printing, advertising, ride equipment etc.
Please give generously.


Meet at PRSC Space (see below for directions).

There will be body painting, flags and banners, horns to sound and whistles to blow. Come ready for a fun family ride.

Assemble from 11.30am

We depart at 12.30pm

Planning collective

UK rides are expected to be planned in a collective manner if possible, and York, London, Cardiff, and Brighton rides adopted this style of organisation. Bristol's ride is organised through open planning meetings where decisions are taken collectively.

We have a ride coordinator who will facilitate the ride planning process whether or not there are sufficient people for a planning collective.

Here's what the coordinator normally does:

  • answers people's questions with care and consideration
  • keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are
  • deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level
  • provides email updates to let people know what's going on
  • points out where and when help is needed
  • acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and sometimes mobile phone)
  • maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)

Additional responsibilities that the coordinator may choose to take on:

  • arrange meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes
  • ensure that the collective remains non-hierarchical but organised
  • moderate an email list for Bristol ride planning

Please donate to the WNBR UK Fund
