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

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 September.

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... This may change soon, but the old one will continue working.)

We have a snazzy new local website, with an extended FAQ.

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.

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

-''' Bristol World Naked Bike Ride 2011 Big Success Again Again Again!'''
-"beautiful day and beautiful ride!"
-A guestimate number of riders 200+ took to the streets of Bristol on Sunday 19th of June 2011
-"Wow what a joy to come and bring awareness to people of the city, about the cyclist vulnerability !!"
-We had funky Inline Roller Skaters come down from Birmingham, what a treat!
-"Hei GuYs! Had an awesome day in Bristol - beautiful weather mixed well with all the beautiful people there :-) Well done ~ thanks for letting us skate too. Like someone's body paint message said it's all about: Ass power not horse power (or something like that :-)"
-It was a smooth running machine of human beings :)
-"Naked bike ride at the sunny city of sanctuary today... What a day!!"

-===2010===
-'''Bristol - World Naked Bike Ride 2010 Big Success!!!'''
-The new Bristol World Naked Bike Ride on June 13th 2010 was overwhelmingly successful. We were expecting 30-50 people and we got nearer 200. There were tallbikes, a unicyclist, recumbants, tricycles, a pedal powered soundsystem, people of all shapes and sizes, and from all walks of life, Super Cow was there, plenty of Avatars, stripey people, spotty people, pink people and the naked man with big boots on a penny farthing was just a fantastic sight to behold.
-Under the slogan of '''Healthy Hearts in Car-Free Cities!''' the ride focused on '''promoting the idea of regular Car Free Sundays''', and highlighting proposed traffic free environments in Bristol such as Park Street, Baldwin Street, The Centre, Corn Street...
-It was just ridiculously good fun. Again, again, again!! was the cry at the end of the ride. 'Can we do this every Sunday ?!'
-It was great to see how everyone stopped in their tracks as the group approached, and as soon as it went there remained a happy buzz in the air with people smiling and laughing.
-We really made an impact and created awareness of the need and desire for car-free Sundays in city centres.
-'''My Bike, My Heart, My City!'''
-Have a look on the blog for some quotes, a poem and links to loads of pictures.

-===2006===
-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.
