| + | ==London World Naked Bike Ride== |
| − | The 2011 route will be announced here The current plan is to run it along the lines of the 2010 route but with a return to Hyde Park (a circular 10 mile route of mostly flat cycling). Note that the actual route has yet to be finalised, and anyway, may be altered on the day (at the discretion of Ride Marshals). <!-- <br>The 2010 ride route was non-circular. Instead the ride finished near Tower Bridge. There were extensive construction projects along Oxford Street and construction on Cross Rail near to Tottenham Court Road, so we elected to make a linear route for the ride. The route map can be viewed here - [http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/WNBR-2010-London-Hyde-Park-to-Tower-of-London http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/WNBR-2010-London-Hyde-Park-to-Tower-of-London] <BR/>The 2010 route passed near to: Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament, Royal Courts of Justice, Ludgate, St Paul's Cathedral, Bank of England, London Bridge, City Hall (GLA Building), Tower Bridge, and The Tower of London. --> <br>

| + | [[Image:London2007photobyminimouse1.jpg|400px|thumb|right|1,000 riders on London Naked Bike Ride 2007 - photo by mini_mouse@riseup.net]] |
| − | Assemble in the south-east corner of Hyde Park, in the large meadow north of the Achilles Statue (to the East of the Broadwalk). Do not arrive before 3pm as Stewards will turn you away. This is near to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner.([http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528302&y=180017&z=2&ar=Y map link]). People who wish to use the WNBR body paints, are welcome to do so. An informal body painting space will be available in Hyde Park from 1.30pm. This space will be very far from the assembly location, and nudity will not be permitted.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Body Painting area (informal/small) from 1.30pm till 3pm'''<br>
| + | 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 dependence and saving the planet. Let's make the planet great again! |
| − | The following information is for 2010 ride and will be updated for 2011 Please check back. There is an informal arrangement for a bodypainting group this year. We will provide body paints, stencils and sponge brushes but no official body painters. Nudity will not be permitted (equivalent of bathing costume coverage must be worn). Large numbers won't be permitted. Riders who are finished will need to move on. Photography won't be allowed.<br> | |
| | | | |
| − | To learn the location of the informal body painting area, please call or text Will at 07903 019696. This should keep the body-painting relatively private.
| + | WNBR’s themes are to: |
| | + | * protest against the global dependency on oil |
| | + | * curb car culture |
| | + | * obtain real rights for cyclists |
| | + | * demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets |
| | + | * celebrate body freedom |
| | | | |
| − | We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.
| + | As well as promoting healthy life choices it can also be the best fun you can ever have on two wheels. The London ride has the excitement of a carnival, with big crowds to cheer it on. It is a "naked bike ride" but you can be "as bare as you dare" - body painting and fancy dress are welcome. It is fun, legal and all in a worthy cause. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Please wear clothes before and after the ride'''
| + | You can find out loads of info on our new [https://wnbrlondon.uk/ WNBRLondon.UK] website: |
| − | Do not undress before 3pm in Hyde Park, as this will undermine our positive relationship with the Royal Parks. There is no law against nudity in Britain, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride, as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police. Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.

| + | [[Image:LondonWebsiteFrontPage600x338.jpg|WNBRLondon.UK website|center|link=https://wnbrlondon.uk]]<br> |
| − | In 2011 the plan is to finish the at the Wellington Arch - i.e. back to an almost circular route. The dispersal will commence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to leave the roadway, dress and depart immediately.<BR>

| − | '''2010 Sipson Ride Extension (full route of 25 miles)'''
| + | ==Getting involved== |
| − | An optional 15.5 mile extension to the main WNBR route will be available for experienced cyclists (joining is by preregistration only). This ride will depart after noon from the very western edge of London. It will travel 15.5 miles in order to join the core ride assembly at 3pm in Hyde Park. The route is here - [http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Provisional-Sipson-to-Hyde-Park-WNBR-2010-route http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Provisional-Sipson-to-Hyde-Park-WNBR-2010-route]
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Reason for the extended ride'''
| + | We hold monthly planning meetings before the ride: anyone is welcome to come along, and we reach decisions by consensus. We also rely on people to volunteer on the day, either as marshals, stewards, or first aiders. The more people we have to help out, the smoother the ride is for everyone. If you can help, please let us know!<br> |
| − | The Sipson Ride Extension will allow riders to demonstrate their support for the campaigners who saved the village of Sipson (which was due to be demolished to allow a third Heathrow runway to be built). The riders will broadly follow the route of proposed "cycling superhighway" #9, as a gesture of support for implementing infrastructure for cyclists in London. | + | [[London_get_involved | Details of planning meetings, volunteer roles, and contact details for the start point coordinators]] |
| | | | |
| − | '''Requirements for riders in Sipson ride''' | + | ==Ride details - Saturday, 8th June 2024== |
| − | In order to participate in the Sipson Ride Extension, you must have strong cycling skills, good equipment, and good fitness. Riders are required to pre-register if they wish to join the 25 mile route. It is important that you test your equipment beforehand, and check that you are ready for a ride of more than 20 miles. The route has few hills, but you'll be on your bike for hours. The Sipson Ride Extension will have minimal support 1-2 stewards. You will have to abandon the ride and find your own way if you experience equipment failure or don't have the stamina to keep up.
| + | <br>'''The traditional date for the ride is the second Saturday in June, so join us on Saturday 8th June 2024.''' |
| | | | |
| − | '''Pre-registration required for Extended ride (registration period has finished)'''
| + | The ride has been increasingly popular over the past 20 years, with its fun, attention-grabbing campaign for safer cycling along with healthier environment, lifestyles and behaviours. 2023 was another big ride, with 8 start groups merging into a spectacular rider peloton. |
| − | Preregistration period has closed. The preregistered group is 25-30 cyclists traveling the extended WNBR London route from Sipson to Tower Bridge. Please note: The rail stations nearest to Sipson are several miles away. Riders will need to allow ample time to reach the ride assembly location before noon. -->

| − | '''Bike and skate rental''' <BR/>
| + | '''It's Not the World Naked Bike Ride''' |
| − | We are able to repeat last year's discounted BIKE HIRE through the London Bicycle Tour Company which hired bikes to riders from 12.30pm-7pm for £12. See below for more details<BR/><BR/>
| |
| − | Also at the bargain price of £10, secured by a £100 deposit, you can hire well maintained SKATES plus full padding from [http://www.clubblueroom.com Club Blue Room] for the entire day. They can't hire if it's a rainy day. Skates must be undamaged dry and clean when returned. They are located at Marble Arch. Phone for details - 020 7724 4884<BR><BR/>
| |
| − | Owing to safety concerns, runners are no longer permitted in the World Naked Bike Ride in London.<BR/><BR/>
| |
| − | '''Decoration and leaflets''' <BR/><BR/>
| |
| − | This year we are providing [http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/uk/flags cloth flags] again (donations please, minimum £3.50) and these are stitched to easily fit on bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing "race cards" - paper signs that easily attach to the front of your bike with the messages of the WNBR. Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs. There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by. These items can be collected from just behind the Info Stall (location to be advised). Please see [[London#Bike decoration|the London bike decoration page]] for more detailed suggestions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Photography policy''' <BR/>
| |
| − | Please keep referring to [[London_photography_policy|the London photography policy]] as things progress, which will make it clear what photography behaviour is unwelcome. <!--An increasing number photographers behaved in a very intrusive and unwelcome manner toward riders (especially female) at the ride assembly 2009 ride. --> If presence of photographers makes people uncomfortable, we recommend riders consider adopting the following measures:
| |
| − | * The most effective measure is to avoid disrobing at the assembly. Simply wear something that can be easily removed when the ride pauses on route. The problem photography rarely occurs during the ride.<BR>
| |
| − | * Verbally address the photographer by saying "Go away, I do not wish to be photographed". At the same time, hold up your hand to indicate the universal gesture of "stop/halt/no". If this doesn't work, address the people near to you, asking them to stand between you and the photographer.<BR/>
| |
| − | * Leafleting before and during the ride may be a good way to overcome discomfort from being stared at, and make you less likely to be targeted by problem photographers. The activity of engaging with bystanders makes you seem less vulnerable and this seems to appeal less to any problem photographers. <BR/>
| |
| − | * We will again have a sign you can [[media:London2008photopolicyboard.pdf|download]]. Some riders have found this useful in dealing with problem photographers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''PA equipment''' <BR/>
| |
| − | Use of PA equipment or amplification within the Serious and Organised Crime Police Act (SOCPA) zone should be avoided, as it is not-legal. We recommend turning off any sound amplification for the sections of ride along Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge and York Road.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Health & safety''' <br>
| |
| − | Footwear is required in order to allow riders to come to a safe emergency stop. <br>We advise you to wear a helmet. You can paint it, decorate it, camouflage it <b>....but keep your head!</b> <br><br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==After the ride==
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you arrive at the end of the ride, congratulate yourself and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area will not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found your friends, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ride, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewhere. In particular, please note that playing games, such as Frisbee or ball games, in the finish area is not allowed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Dispersal''' <br/> | |
| − | If you decide to move into surrounding areas, please show consideration for others. Remember that any misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our ability to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Objectives and demands==
| |
| − | Each year, the World Naked Bike Ride collective in London agrees on a set of objectives and demands for the year's ride. The objectives and demands of the ride are shown below.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 2011 the main theme of the ride will be improving safety for cyclists. We are also supporting the LCC [http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=2136 Safer Lorries Campaign]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Objectives===
| |
| − | *Obtain real rights for cyclists and demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets
| |
| − | *Protest against the global dependency on oil
| |
| − | *Curb car culture
| |
| − | *Celebrate body freedom
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===Demands===

| |
| | | | |
| − | ===Route===
| + | The next London ride will be on the afternoon of '''Saturday 14th August 2021'''. In 2019 we had a great day with over 1,000 riders and huge crowds cheering us on. Media participation and coverage was also good. Let's make it bigger and better this year! --> |
| − | | + | <!-- The date coincides with the Trooping of the Colour in the morning, so there should be good crowds to cheer us on and maybe our riders will once again sing Happy Birthday to the Queen. |
| − | ===Legality===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The WNBR London organising collective has been working closely with the Metropolitan police since 2005; they are fully aware of the nature of the protest and supportive of our right to make it. We have excellent relations with the police; most years they assist with traffic control and have their own riders accompanying us (although they keep their uniforms on). | |
| − | | |
| − | Contrary to popular opinion, there is no law against nudity in England and you will not be arrested simply for being nude on this protest. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] for more information.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <!-- | |
| − | We have notified the police of our intention to ride in protest of oil dependency and in celebration of our bodies. They are fully aware that many/most of our riders will be nude and partially nude as we cycle a route through the streets of central London. Since 2005, police have indicated that they would not be arresting us or trying to prevent the protest ride. Since 2006, the police have played a helpful role in traffic control to facilitate the ride. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] about what the Metropolitan police said in 2005. We will try to ensure that the next ride is endorsed by the police, as all previous London rides have been.
| |
| | --> | | --> |
| − | Notice: The terms of the 2010 ride have been agreed with the police as in previous years.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===Body painting===
| + | [[London_ride | Find locations, times and other details by clicking here]] |
| − | NOTICE: There is an informal body painting area arrangement (see [[London#Ride_details|ride details]] at top of this page). We encourage all riders to buy some body paints for themselves and get painted up before they come to the ride.
| + | <br> |
| | | | |
| − | The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand. Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride. For advice on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]]. The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs. | + | ==Support Us== |
| | + | The ride is made possible by volunteer helpers and generous donations from our participants. Please join the collective. No one |
| | + | is paid for running WNBR London, but we do have some significant expenses like radio comms hire, road closure fees, insurance, printing, marshals' ID, etc.<br> |
| | + | [https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=UGA9T8VT8HH5W Please click here to donate by PayPal] It's got to be worth a fiver or more! |

| | + | or contact us if you could volunteer to help with planning, publicity, preparation, assistance at the start and finish, marshalling, or leading a ride - we really need your help. |
| | | | |
| − | For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, you may wish to do some body painting just before the ride, but you'll have to bring your own paints and painters. From 2006 till 2008, we provided a body painting service from professional painters such as Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitechcreations.co.uk]. In '''2009''', there was no official body painting area. We had difficulty due to growing numbers of ride participants, agressive photographers, and the short time available in Hyde Park. We might bring back the body painting area in 2010, but for now, you'll have to fend for yourself. NOTE: We still have plenty of spare paints, and we would be happy to provide a self-service body painting space if someone was able to secure for us a suitable cost-free private space near the Start location during morning/lunch on the day of the ride (10-2pm). If you are abler to help. please contact us in the [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnbr-london/ Yahoo group]]
| + | The London WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week]. |
| | | | |
| − | Photographers can be a problem at the ride start especially while body painting is taking place. If you notice photographers crowding around someone who is being painted, please politely enquire whether the subject of the photograph is happy to be photographed. If they aren't happy being photographed, please ask the photographers to stop, and consider standing between the photographers and subject (in a polite but assertive manner).
| + | [[Image:BikeWeekUK-Logo.jpg|Bike Week|link=http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/]] |
| − | | + | <br> |
| − | '''Please don't photograph riders who are being painted.''' Wait till they are fully painted and then ask if they are happy to be photographed. Better still, please photograph the riders during the ride!

| − | ===Bike decoration===
| |
| − | We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike. There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here]. If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders.

| − | ===Weather===
| |
| − | We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006 and 2007. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? The ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain. Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain!

| − | ===Planning meetings===
| |
| − | Riders are invited to any of the London ride planning meetings. The London ride organising group is a collective, and holds just 5 meetings to make all the key decisions about the ride (and allocate responsibilities). Any rider is welcome to attend the meetings (and thus be part of the "London ride planning collective"). The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who are involved in planning rides in their local area. Press are not welcome to the planning meetings.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''The 2011 meetings are as follows (19:00 start for all meetings):'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Thursday 10 February 2011 (Frank to facilitate/produce minutes)
| |
| − | # Thursday 24 March 2011
| |
| − | # Thursday 14 April 2011
| |
| − | # Thursday 12 May 2011
| |
| − | # Thursday 26 May 2011 or 09 June 2011
| |
| − | | |
| − | <!-- '''Plus a post-ride review meeting''' (for people who participated in organising the ride)
| |
| − | # Thursday 24 June 2010 -->
| |
| − | | |
| − | We used to meet in the Great Court of the ([http://www.britishmuseum.org/visiting/getting_here.aspx British Museum]. But this space is no longer available past 8pm (as of 2011), so we wil be moving the meeting space to the [http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk South Bank Centre's Royal Festival Hall]. The 24 March meeting will be held at the Green Bar in the Royal Festival Hall (4th level, on the "green side" - the side nearer the London Eye). For future meetings, check this page, and/or see the wnbr-London yahoo list. We try to remember to have WNBR things out so it is easier to spot the meeting. If you are in doubt, just ask "is this the bike ride meeting?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Get in touch (or just show up at a meeting) if you want to join in the planning the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or 07814 587361
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Interviews===
| |
| − | The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''londonpress [at] wnbr.org.uk''''' and/or your local ride coordinator or call the [[United Kingdom media information#PressContacts|Press Office]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===On the day===
| |
| − | We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Being a volunteer steward===
| |
| − | In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders. Last year's stewards did a great job, and we're looking to provide even better stewarding this year (e.g. more effective, more friendly, more responsive).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders, and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and that assistance is available to those who get left behind or have breakdowns. During the Assembly, the Stewards will primarily be directing riders into the ride assembly area, and helping the ride to form up for departure. Stewards will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <!--Stewards are '''NOT meant to police the ride''' - that is the job of the police - we just need people willing and able to look out for others and to lend a helping hand when required. '''Assembly Area Volunteers''' (see below) will be working alongside the Stewards by intervening when problem photography is spotted at the ride assembly. Stewards and Assembly Area Volunteers will enforce the ride's [[London#Photography_and_filming_policy|photo policy]] through polite but firm verbal intervention.-->
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''As a steward you will be required to:'''
| |
| − | *Register to be a steward in advance (no turning up on the day with an offer to help).
| |
| − | *Attend the pre-ride '''Steward Induction and Training Session''' (date/time TBA) <!-- at '''3pm to 5pm on Saturday 5 June 2010''' or '''3pm to 5pm on Sunday 6 June 2010''' --> at the Achilles statue in Hyde Park.
| |
| − | *Arrive in Hyde Park by '''1pm on Saturday 12 June 2010''' for an additional '''Ride Briefing'''.
| |
| − | *Act as a steward for the event from 1pm until 6pm (very busy from 2pm to 5pm).
| |
| − | *Wear shoes and clothes for the duration of the ride
| |
| − | *Wear a high-visibility vest that you borrow and return to the lead steward.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Additionally, you will be expected to:'''
| |
| − | *Be a confident and proficient cyclist
| |
| − | *Be able to follow instructions from the Lead Steward.
| |
| − | *Be reasonable, responsible and approachable.
| |
| − | *Maintain a courteous and friendly disposition (even under pressure).
| |
| − | *Bring a small rucksack in which to put useful items such as: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water, bike pump. (If you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them).
| |
| − | *Carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''In return, you will receive:'''
| |
| − | *A FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (Normally only available for £3 donation).
| |
| − | *A free [http://current.com/people/highaltitudefilms DVD of the 2005 World Naked Bike Ride] which normally costs £10 (you receive this if you attend the training session).
| |
| − | *Support, assistance and guidance from the Lead Steward.
| |
| − | *A warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR a success!
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you have a PMR radio handset (walkie talkie), please bring it with you.

| − | ===Be an Assembly Area Welfare Volunteer===
| |
| − | | |
| − | WNBR is a spectacular and highly photogenic event and we welcome respectful photography and filming from the press and between friends. Some photographers can however be intrusive and become a nuisance. To help make the assembly feel safe and fun for everyone, we need 10-15

| − | #'''Physically define and enforce a temporary "No Photography Zone" for bodypainting. This zone will be also be available for those wanting to undress more privately.'''
| |
| − | #'''Roam the site, keeping an eye on photographers' behaviour and politely intervening if necessary.'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you wish to be a Welfare Volunteer for the assembly area, please contact Jesse at 0781 458 7361
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Note: '''The roles of Assembly Area Welfare Volunteers and Steward are distinct.''' You will not be allowed to volunteer for both roles. The role of Welfare Volunteers will finish at the time of ride departure (and the volunteers can join the ride as normal riders if they wish. The Stewards role is part of the Police requirements for the ride, and Stewards may be active from 1pm-6pm (though not always busy). The police will coordinate traffic control in consultation with the Stewards, but the Welfare Volunteers won't be consulted by the Police at all. Stewards are overseen by the chief steward and assistant chief steward. Welfare volunteers are overseen by a Welfare Volunteers coordinator. Although Stewards will also address the problem photographers they witness at the ride assembly (and ride), their primary responsibility before the ride will be directing riders into the assembly area and forming up the ride start.''
